When I had my little Corsa works van, I rescued many old bikes left out for the scrap man. Usually BSOs, but also a couple of nice old racers. I always had a multi tool stored in the van and a couple of spanners at the ready. My wife would look on in disgust as I unloaded the latest dismantled "classic" out my van to join the rest on the patio.
A great hobby and very satisfying to keep the old unloved bikes rolling.
