Topic: Does chopping parts off old cars count towards the $500?
Some friends and I are thinking, have been thinking, about getting into this and we're currently searching for a car. One of my teammates has a Honda Prelude that he wrecked(wrecked is an understatement, he totaled the bajeezus out of it), and it is now just sitting in his backyard. The question came up yesterday as to whether taking parts off that would count towards the $500 limit for the car, because it has some very very usable things on it. We're technically getting it for free, right? How do we convince the judges of this if we show up with an Opel 1900(hypothetically) and it has a bunch of shiny new parts on it?
