Whats it worth?
Just out of interest, what would my car be worth in its present state and when restored a bit?
A bit of info. Its a D Plate diamond white erst S2. My grandad bought it for my nan brand new (still got original number plates from ford dealer) and had some stickers put down the side straight away. It doesnt have recaros (opted not to have them) but has electric windows and sunroof.No central locking.
It was registered in my grandads company name then when he sold the company had it transfered to my nans name. It now has my name so im 3rd owner. It has done 130k and I have original service history for the first 5 services.Got alot of receipts for things like welding on mots and stuff.
The car is completely original at present with original wheels etc.
Im having it welded where needed with new rear arches ,inner arches and patch on inner wing and sills sorted. Then i will get the car blown over in white or paint merged so looks new.(Stickers now off).
I have stuck recaros in now (88 spec so matches rears) and will completely underseal,rust treat and rust proof and smooth white hammerite everywhere including underneath,and inside.
The only thing i have done to car is fit a boost gauge,fit recaros,and put a temp wire in to run amal valve as problem with earth to it.
1.How much will it be worth when the above has been done?
Im then thinking of adding a stainless exhaust,-31 actuator and chip, maybe get head recon with newman cam and head ported with new headgasket.
2.How much then will it be worth?
In its final guise (when ive finished with it) it should have uprated suspension (about 25mm lowered),uprated cossie brakes up front and maybe remove abs.

Read the sticky on top of the page. 
I have know idea what your car would be worth but i would suggest you shouldnt do the modifications if your expecting it to increase its value as i can guarantee you will spent alot more money doing it than you will ever get back. If you doing it for the love of it then fair enough. jut dont do it if your prime goal is to make money
