Where to dispose of stock parts when gutting for race prep
Hey everyone,
I am back in the Miata world after a several years. I’m finally settled in one location (DFW) and career is in a good place to return to the scene. In the past I had a stripped out track car and during that time I had more space/time to sell things to move them out, now is not the case. Ideally what id like to do is just unload everything at a pick and pull - not looking to make money, just free up some space to keep the workspace comfortable.
Curious what others are doing to dispose of parts properly (dash, doorcards, seats, soft top, and all the other parts that get removed while building a racecar). I have access to a dumpster but am looking for other suggestions/options that may be a little better.
Thanks!
Ryan

Definitely join that group (I'm in McKinney). However, I just tried to sell, then give away a full tan interior from a 2000 LS. Ended up in a dumpster because no one wanted it. Welcome to DFW!

I’ll keep it in mind once I get to the engine bay. Doing interior and safety stuff first. Limited on space (Texas garages are way smaller than I imagined) so I’m not dismantling all at one time.

Unfortunately most pick and pull places wont take random parts from what I've seen. Best bet is to just toss everything in the dumpster unfortunately. If you hold onto all the stuff trying to sell it or even give it away for free I anticipate it all hitting the dumpster anyway when you get tired of it sitting around and cluttering your work space. When I stripped my car I thought I was being smart by holding onto everything "just in case" someone needed/wanted it. It ended with me just getting frustrated that it was all taking up valuable storage space and hit the dump shortly thereafter.
