Default Fiesta RS 1800, what's it worth?

As per tittle, I brought an L reg Fiesta RS 1800 from a mate of mine 3 weeks ago for £150 as it had failed it's MOT and he couldn't be bothered to fix it.

To get the car through the MOT I have had to put a new sill on the drivers side and patch some holes in the floor around the seat mountings. The rest of the bodywork is okay, some rust on the front wings and around the filler cap. The car has also had lots of new mechanical parts over the past few months including a clutch, lower arms, starter motor and Anti roll bar links. Thecar is a 1993 in black with original alloys which have also been sprayed black. It has covered 117K, has a Clifford alarm, Scorpion exhaust, K&N filter and tidy Recaro interior.

I was originally going to use the car as a run around but have decided to sell it, was going to start it on e-bay for £150 but just interested oin what people think it's worth?

The log book shows the car as a Fiesta RS 1800 so I assume it is an original car. The body isn't perfect on it but it drives fine with no problems at all.

Have had a look on e-bay and these cars seem to be going for anything from £300 for a non runner and £1k for a good car. Hoping I can get about £500 to £600 for it.

Will try and get some pics up in the next few days.

cant really say with out pics, sounds like bodyworks not great, seen them go for about 600-800 as you have described yours but its a difficult time of year to sell a car, id out it up for 800 ono and see how you do, but now everyone on here knows how much you paid for it
