I think it's a 90? I don't even know to be honest. I'm pretty sure it had big bumpers on it

duffer · « **Reply #16 on:** December 03, 2006, 09:19:29 pm »

I'm interested if it;s a '90 or '91.

What does the registration say?

burn_your_money · « **Reply #17 on:** December 04, 2006, 12:37:22 am »

I don't know. I bought it off a friend's dad so I didn't bother with any paper work. Hopefully I can get out there on monday or tuesday to take what I need. I'll find out the details then

duffer · « **Reply #18 on:** December 04, 2006, 11:17:55 am »

Okay.

If the car is/was a 90, 91 or 92

and if you have the papers for it,

I'd be willing to slide some filthy

lucre in your general direction.

I'll wait a few days and see what

you can find out.

Thanks

I'm at his son's house right now, I'll ask him when he gets home from work tonight and I'll let you know the goods.

Being welded back together with angle iron doesn't concern you? :?

duffer · « **Reply #20 on:** December 04, 2006, 12:01:08 pm »

No.

I, actually, just need an ownership

for a car I bought that doesn't have one.

(No it isn't a stolen car)

Whereabouts is the car? North Bay?

burn_your_money · « **Reply #21 on:** December 04, 2006, 06:53:45 pm »

The car is between Orangeville and Brampton.
If you don't have ownership for your car you can just go the the MTO and say you bought a parts car that had no ownership and they will get you to do an afidavite (sp) and then you get ownership. It's $10-20.

I'm going to have to cancel the parting out of this car, unless the weather is good next weekend. I'm not able to get the parts tomorrow because the engine swap I needed to complete today got delayed due to missing parts

duffer · « **Reply #22 on:** December 04, 2006, 08:19:48 pm »

Oh. I didn't know that.

I had envisioned getting engulfed

in a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare

at the Ontario Motor Veh. Dept.

I bought the car, a year ago, originally, just for the

TD engine, but I've been considering fixing it up

as the body's really not that bad. (Not welded

together with angle iron)

Three or four months ago, I did a couple of

Carfax and Carproof searches, on the VIN Numbers,

as well as a CAA search a couple of weeks ago.

It's all clear. No problems. I just don't have the

ownership for it and the previous owner has moved

out West to Vancouver.

It's basically a running car that just needs some

repairs (nothing radical) So, I'm not sure it would

fall within the OMV definition of a "Rebuild".

I would be reluctant to, knowingly, swear out an Affidavit

which might not be entirely true. (A serious criminal offence

and an automatic 5 years in the slammer).

I think that I might just take what I want, from it, and

send the body to the crusher, or still look around for a

TD body with a clear title, that's headed for the

scrapyard.

In the interim, should you elect to part the car out,

I'd be happy to buy the title and VIN numbers, from you

and show you the "Bill of Sale" and the above mentioned

reports on the car as well as photographs of the car

the P.O. gave me, so you will know that it's all

quite above board.

Assuming you've read this far, thank you for putting

up with all my whining.

lol of course I read the whole post. Personally I don't think the MTO or whoever is going to care too much about a old car with a bluw book value of what, 2000? That's actually what the lady said at the MTO when I inquired about a rabbit that has no title. I think when they ask they word it "to the best of your knowledge..." so techinically you'd be fine.

If you were to buy a VIN etc, when that car is brought to the wrecker (the one the VIN came from, in this case my anlge iron car) wouldn't it get branded?

duffer · « **Reply #24 on:** December 05, 2006, 01:53:43 am »

Sorry, I don't know what "branded" means.

If it means that the scrapyard would report it

as "scrapped", then... not necessarily.

If the rest of the shell doesn't have a

VIN number on it, then it's just a large lump

of scrap steel.

I scrapped the remains of an '86 Golf, a few months ago,

which I bought, for parts, from one of your friends up North,

in Orillia.

I'd stripped it and cut some bits off it.

The tow truck guy asked if I had the registration (I did).

I said, "Yes, but I can't be bothered looking for it".

He said. "Doesn't matter, anyway, it's just going to

be crushed".

So, if I come acrss an appropriate body shell, I'll

just take the plate, from the dash, and cut out the panel

under the raintray, forward of the wiper motor, and spot

weld it onto this shell.

Et voila! (as they say in Scotland) Ah've got mahself another

piece o' crap for a bran' noo project (to add to all the other

projects that languish in varying stages of completion).

Regarding the $2000 price tag, you mention, actually, I

didn't pay anything even remotely close to that.

So, even if I just take the engine, and scrap the rest, I'm

still ahead of the game.

In any event, thank you for your patience, and all your

responses.

It's much appreciated.

Thanks again.

I've scrapped alot of cars over the last 2 years and occasionally they get me to get the VIN or they won't accept it.

duffer · « **Reply #26 on:** December 05, 2006, 02:46:25 pm »

Okay. Not a problem.

I, simply, thought this might be the easiest

solution to my dilemma.

I'm afraid I haven't had much experience with

scrapping cars. Just the one aforementioned Golf.

I wouldn't want ol' "Angle Iron" to experience such

a profound sense of rejection when even a scrap

merchant refuses to take it.

I guess I have to decide what to do with this car.

In the meantime, thank you for your time and input.
