This car is fit for crusher only surely?

[TaviaRS]

£2100 starting bid? That's extracting the urine!

heres what you would expect to get back from that car realisitically.

Engine 600

gearbox 400

interior 500 max

ecu 100-200

air bags are a complete dash board kit and steering wheel £400

some of the front panels are salvagable, head lights etc etc, (would be worth more if it had xenons ) id say expect around 300-500 for bits.

There will be other stuff like ABS units, vac distribution blocks, turbo if you dont sell that with the engine, air con parts, exhaust, brakes, drive shafts, hubs id say a total of 600 if your lucky for that lot.

so if your lucky you would stand to make a £500 profit stripping that car, which in my opinion is not alot considering the time it would take to strip and organise the sale of the parts.

However i would buy it if it were a little cheaper for the engine and box, can never have enough engines and boxs

Not really, but you never know. I do have the spare bottom end from the hydrolocked engine still lying about, but not sure what state that bottom end is in. I don't reckon I'll need a new bottom end anyway, and once I have enough money I'll be playing with the pistons/crank and seeing about going for even more power.

Thats definately screwed! It would cost more to rebuild it with another shell than to just buy a decent one in the first place! Ok to be broken for bits though.

I might well do actually - Think it was leftover from splitting the engine up. You need one?
