hello m8. all depends what the car is worth to you personally . ive had my mk3s a long time so would rather get the welder out than scrap or sell em .
ive done a lot of work on my S1 when ive scrapped better cars but didnt scrap mine as it was mine if you know what i mean .
just finished giving my everyday mk3 xr3i a once over . its sat for about 5 years and i would of scrapped it if i hadnt owned it for the last 13 years . its had new wings , inner wings , front panel , sills , rear arches , inner rear arches , battery tray .
its cost more than its worth so im saying only do it if the car means something to you otherwise scrap it and get one already done .
be a shame though as the 16i is a good looking old car but dont let it become a money pit if your just gonna sell it
