Any wires or seat padding left in it?

Before you pull it. Do a video of a LARGE burnout.

This should make it very easy then! Pull the drums and shoes off the rear, then put it in drive without hitting the brakes at all. The front will stay locked and the rears will spin freely, like a line lock. Now do a burnout!!!!
