Yes, Just depends what you buy.
Need a lot os space and enough storage to keep the parts for, also be prepared for time wasters,

Can be ok but you need top spec stuff or modified cars where parts will sell easy. Its only really worth having boggo cars if you can get them for pennies. Like a basic 1.2 B you would be lucky to make a couple hundred really unless you didnt mind storing parts

Gotta get the car cheap enough, don't overprice the items when valueing what you think you will sell them for otherwise you could be left sorely disappointed and out of pocket, won't really be massive money from one car either would have to do quite a few to make on, but then again the ones that will make you more money tend to cost more to begin with

Usually the strip the car down to every last bit that is worth something and you end up with the worthless bare shell, you just weigh it in and chuck in whatever other crap that you have (if you do this for a loving it soon builds up).
Could be a very good buisness if you are careful enough with what you buy

i bought a v reg 1.6 sport with a blown engine on the basis of repairing it and keeping it, ended up stripping it and selling it and made about 200 quid (paid 250+50 to get it recovered, and sold it in bits for 500 quid)
