If the junk vehicle in your yard is obviously not a classic car but is in decent cosmetic condition, the first thing you should do is see if you can get the car started. In most cases the engine has seized up which could mean it will cost you a lot of money to get it fixed. Contact a mechanic or somebody who knows a lot about cars to see if they can diagnose what is wrong with the vehicle. In most cases they will tell you it needs a new engine and perhaps a new transmission. The cost of buying these parts and installing them will probably far exceed the value of the vehicle. In fact, you might even be able to buy the same vehicle in working condition for far less than it would take you to fix the junk car in your yard. Not to mention that would be far less headache.



After you've revamped the outside of your car, it's time to think about the inside. Again, it's the small details that matter. Add some new floor mats to keep the car clean. Whether you drive an automatic or a stick shift, change the shifter to something a littler nicer. You can find everything from beautiful leather knobs to scary skulls. Change the steering wheel cover to make it a little more interesting. If Hello Kitty isn't your style, try a genuine leather cover instead.

Advertise your car. If you're not satisfied with the offers from the salvage yards, you may be able to make more money by selling it directly. You can advertise on Craigslist or some other website, giving details about your car junk yard. Include photos and be honest about the car's condition. Put down an asking prices such as $500 or OBO for "or best offer" and wait for people to contact you. One man's junk is another man's treasure -- you could be holding a classic that would be worth a mint once it has been restored.

Another important thing is to check different resources such as the website of the parts manufacturer. In most cases, you can find helpful information on their site that can help you gain lots of knowledge about the parts that you require. Some of the resources are available in the form of helpful videos.

If you're one of those handy people who can do your own tune-ups, change your own oil and handle minor repairs, congratulations. You have the skills to save thousands of dollars over the life of your car. But you also know that you can spend hundreds on dallas mercedes with a single trip to the auto supply house. And if you need an item that's classified as a dealer-only part, you could easily be looking at thousands of dollars for the replacement.

Step Two: Selecting an engine. A fast rat rod needs a strong engine. It's always a good idea to get the largest engine that can fit in your engine bay. Some races make the frame a bit bigger to accommodate the huge engine. Any engine will suffice. It doesn't have to be a new one as long as it is a working one. Look for great deals at the junkyard. Sometimes the dealer would be willing to sell it off for a low rate. If you want to race your rat rod, remember that raw engine power is the key.

Increase the light. Garages tend to be dark and dirty. Change the overhead light bulbs by installing a higher wattage light bulb. Wash the windows in the garage and clear the windows of any shelves or debris that's blocking the light.

Matter of fact, you are thinking of how to get rid of it. This is where a junk car service steps in. They come buy your junk vehicle for an appropriate price, tow it to a junk yard, dismantle it, sell off useful spare parts and recycle the scrap metal. This scrap metal is then sold to construction companies, metal fabricators etc.
