Default how much is my mk1 worth roughly?

i went out to try and get a proper look over it today and start cleaning the underneath whilst my dad kept telling me to sell it and now his convinced me as i havnt got the time, nor experience with a welder and i wouldnt have it on the road anytime soon just like my old escort so its now up for sale once i get an idea of what its worth? as far as i know to be solid it could do with floor pans and sills and then a master cylinder for the brakes

That's worth Ł3.5k all day long...

(and that's being conservative)

yeh but 90% of the cars i see on ebay, are often sold with out the auction. If u go to look at a car, if u like it u make an offer, u wouldnt go back home and bid on it.

Ebay make enough money on the insersion fees, sod paying the commision!
