[T3] recycling a '71 Squareback

[Greg Merritt <gregm@vwtype3.org>]

	I'm looking for advice on how to recycle my '71 Squareback.

	It starts great, runs great, stops great -- oh yeah, and is falling
apart due to rust.

	I'd like to save the engine, transmission, front suspension,
brakes, and a few other odds & ends of spares for my '69.  After these
major bits are removed, and I pop off the doors & trunks & fenders and gut
the interior and remove the glass, how tough is it to use a sawz-all to
divide the remainder into pieces small enough and light enough to be lifted
by two people?  I'd like to simply take the carcass bits to the recycling
center.

	I imagine that the top would come off pretty easily by slicing it
at the pillars, and I could probably play connect-the-dots with rust holes
under the back seat and in other spots.  Anybody done this evil deed
before?  Since I want to yank out suspension and brakes, it won't be a
rolling chassis; I don't imagine the local "haul your heap" folks would
enjoy picking it up.  Any thoughts?

	(If anyone is in the area and would like to take a look at the car
and can convince me that it's worth restoring and they've got the time and
resources to do it, I'd be glad to discuss a sale.  I do not, however,
expect that this is very likely.  The car is pretty much beat.)

	:(
