what else can I do with an old car except

annie123

scape it?

It runs ok but it needs new cat converter, welding elec probs and lots of other bits costing £££££££££££ and its 12 years old and a 2lt, so heavy on fuel and not worth repairing

Tried to see if local colleges needed cars for trainees to work on but they stooped that course, so I have tried to search for charities that could in some way benefit or maybe community projects that keep teenagers occupied , but drew a blank.

Don't want to sell on ebay/scrap yard, so unless I can come up with anything useful I will pay my local council to take it away.

any ideas anyone?

How about seeing whether your local college would like it for art students? I'm sure it would be interesting for them, but what I'm not sure about is what liability they may incur for the disposal of any elements of the car that might be classed as hazardous waste, which might put them off.

Also ask the local Youth Offending Team - ours used to help the kids repair them and then learn to drive (properly!) in them.

If you can't contact the local youth offending team just leave it parked outside with the keys in and their clients will take it away for you, lol.

thats a good idea, where would I find them, or more to the point who would I contact?

tried all colleges no joy and our local fire station said they get their cars from the council scrapped ones.

Contact your local probation service.

I know for a FACT that if you advertise it on https://www.myrallyforum.com (a forum for people doing banger rallies next year) that someone will definitely take it off you, and will most likely use it to raise money for charity too :beer:
