Moving a car with no struts?

[Dave_G]

I think this probably impossible, but lots of people are more clever than me and maybe have a trick or two that I don't know about.

I'm getting ready to send my old rusty swiss-cheese iX chassis to the crusher. (It's lived a good long life filled with ice racing, rallies, and ski trips, but it's so unsafe now that it really has to go.) Before it goes, I'm pulling all the salvageable parts off it, particularly the iX drivetrain. I'd really like to save the iX-only front struts, because they're hard to come by and none too cheap. But if I do that, then the car has no front wheels, which makes pushing it on and off the trailer a bit of a problem.

I can't think of any way to get this chassis to the junkyard without the struts in it, but maybe someone has figured this out. If so, how did you do it?

If everything is out of the front end of the car it can be fairly easily lifted up by 1-2 people and rolled onto the trailer. Furniture dollies also work well.

Or you could just chop the chassis into manageable bits with a reciprocating saw?

[Dave_G]

I like both of these ideas. They're kind of mutually exclusive, but I like both of them. The sawzall one has the advantage of also letting me pull the rear subframe. (And also being more fun. :))
