Default whats it all worth???

Just picked my car up from the garage now its had new box fitted, drove it home, and after the wheels locking up when the old box packed in I just dont feel safe in it anymore, so..... im thinking of breaking her, just want to know roughly what i should expect to get for bits???? to see if its gonna be worth while -

CVH Turbo engine, Stage 3 head with piper cam, rebuilt aprox 4k miles ago

Full Scorpion Stainless with 3" outward rolled tip

Race Clutch (make unknown) nearly new

very good 90 spec interior, no holes / rips or wear (saggy doorcards)

samco water hoses (black)

Silicone Boost hoses (blue)

5 x S2 alloys with yoko's (only 2 have slight curb marks)
Lowered springs and shocks (think jamex, yellow shocks and red springs )

Brand new T3 Turbo, covered around 600 miles

H reg 90 spec shell (has had 2 plates welded in either side of boot, and 1 in footwell, would require small patch on opposite footwell, and patch about size of thumbnail on sill. has tiny hole in scuttle panel below windscreen. few tiny scabs showing near sunroof)

or what would i be looking at for the complete car if I stuck on 12 months MOT and sorted the scuttle panel?? has loadsa receipts and history.

seems a shame to break really but there usually worth more in bits??

ive got the new plugs and was out getting leads on sat when gearbox went, but im getting dizzy and leads from Auto_flocks motor now as they were new in feb, atleast that way if the leads dont sort it I have dizzy to wack on aswell.

Gonna have a look at adjusting the gear linkage today coz the garage that fitted the box havent really known how to do it properly and its like a lucky dip half the time changing gear!
