"I may hit you up for suggestions on cutting electricity use."
That's about the best initial response I've heard from anyone regarding renewable energy... feel free to email about conservation. Please don't email about building a system that'll be cheaper than your grid power :-)
On that parts car.. man, I know how it is having to get rid of a parts car fast. Decide what you want, and the quickest, easiest way to go about getting those parts off. If it's going to the crusher on Thursday, you gotta get what you can get before then. If it means trashing one thing to save another... so be it.
Sawzalls are your friend. So is Oxy/Acetylene.
In years past I've gotten calls from folks that finally gave up... saying... come get what you can, the wrecker will be here at 4:00... If I'd been able to take the whole car, of course I would have. But I didn't always have that option, so I'd get what I could.
And twixt a couple or three folks... we could get most all the bits off a 122 that could fit in a pickup truck in just a few hours. Complete drivetrain, bolt on body parts, electronics, and the windshield if it was worth keeping. Other glass we'd generally blow off. Don't waste time grabbing stuff that can be purchased off ebay for a few bucks. Get the stuff that will be hard to replace.
Good luck with it, man... 25-30 cents/KWH... damn.
