I have found over time and talking to wreckers (the one's that can run two
words together that is) that they buy a wreck for what the engine/gearbox is
worth to them and they will re-sell those for what they pay for the whole
wreck. The profit comes from the rest of the car i.e. the little things, so
every time you buy a component of a wreck think of it as 100% profit to the
wrecker (sobering thought eh)

computer as terry says.. seats would be nice too.. You could make your
money
almost wrecking the rest yourself...
