either really mate i could get the engine fitted back in but i think if someone bought it then they would take then engine out anyways to get it rebuilt or wotever it needs?? had a few pms about breaking it but really wouldnt know how to do it i think i would make a decent amount tho some nice bits on it koni's,new turbo,pace cooler, and turbo cooler ect ect

If your gonna get rid, its worth more in bits mate, there is a couple of places do engines in North East, Cleasby's in Durham 0191 3782407 and engine servies in Dunston 0191 460 5256. If engine is out its gonna be cheaper to start with less labour.
