As you can see, there is nothing left.
And the empty chassis we 'rolled' away on the cherry pic and 2 hydraulic jack, so that the truck with the crane could pick it up.
:D

Next parts car is already in place.
Here more pics from the other actions

What was the reason for parting out the car?

Windscreen broke when we tried to remove it. I extra bought these special tools for that. 1 wrong move and the glass was broken.

The rear window we removed with piano wire, much easier. On each side a piece of wood as handle and the wire fixed and then pulling on each side like a saw,

@Ross:
reason was that I got the car from a scrapyard w/o front bumper, seats and 1 fender, radiator, starter and alternator were missing.

And I still have 2 more parts 750iL.

Usually in Japan the people cannot afford to have a second car or a parts car, in Tokyo the monthly rent is 400-500 $ a month.
I have these cars on the country side outside of Tokyo at parents in law place, but a normal jap. car owner does not have such space.
Many people in Tokyo even cannot buy 1 car, as they have no parking space. No parking within 2 kms from your home, no possibility to register a car.

I'll bet a lot of still decent cars then die a premature death. Or get exported
