Thinking of selling or wrecking my Brumby

No not the WRX/Rotary one but this one :

But given its rusty state is it worth anything and is it worth anything to wreck ?

It is complete and runs but needs a carby clean/rebuild. It has a fair bit of rust but it appears to be only in easily fixed areas - mainly the guards but I have spare rear quarters and possibly spare front guards. The floor and chassis don't look like they are rusted. The rear tray is a litle rusty and there is also a bit of rust in the roof.

If I wreck it what on it is valuable and easily sold ? I would want it all gone within a few weeks. (Bullbar is already spoken for)

Or should I just send it to the scrap merchants ?

I think it is already wrecked, it will take longer than a few weeks to get rid of all the parts, I would recomend taking all the bits you need of it or offer parts on gumtree for a couple of weeks then list it on ebay as suitable for farm ute or wrecking, over here they go for about $500 or more as long as it drives.

I'd be keeping/removing the chrome trim around the top of the tray area, I reckon that stuff is becoming hard to find with the number of brumbys that are being crushed these days :(

Cheers

PS: and the doors as well ;)

one thing is for sure if you do get rid of it you will NEED something from it the very next week.
After I wrecked on a while back I voued never to wreck one again but to find storage for them.
Your yard looks plenty big enough to store that lil ol brumby.

Benny that chrome is actualy Stainless steel

Sorry Jules bullbar is already spoken for :(

I think I might just advertise it first and then if I can't get a reasonable amount for it then I will wreck it.
