All the breaking threads have got me thinking.
After seeing what seems like more and more threads about people breaking their cars It got me thinking about how much things would actually go for?

Euan,
Only you know what price you must have in mind tbh mate, i mean the turbo must of been pretty expensive, the box etc, would you sell the engine as a whole, not to me, just wondering how you're thinking..
How's the shell for rust etc, mint shells fetch decent money too.

yeah staffi there are quite a few expensive and custom parts on my car but i doubt you get much back for some of the stuff.
It certainly would make sense to sell all the underbonnet stuff as a package seeing as its been developed together but what would it go for?
Fresh built engine with all manifolds, turbo and ECU? 5k?

Are there the buyers out there with the Ł5k, or is it more marketable to sell by the component thus opening up to a larger market.

If I blew my engine tomorrow and this engine was available for Ł5k I'd def have it. It must have cost 3x that to build.
