I would sell it if you need the money, cant see the appeal of a YB + FWD anyway though TBH!

depends on what your going to spend the money if you sell.
if its a car you have always wanted keep it.
if there is a differnet car you would like then you might aswell sell.

keeping a roof over your head is more important than any car.

Well that sounds good in sence but as i dont have a clue what everything is worth then im stuck and also the engine has a custom throttle body aswell i dont think people would wanna buy it as it is so i think ide end up losing money and in desperation would end up selling it all off too cheaply and also the fact im not a gold member on here i wouldnt want to sell on e-bay in bits as everyone wants to pay too little for things on there so i think ide be better sellin as a whole package

I dunno what to do

What do people think i should advertise it at?

It needs a new drivers side sill and wing or could just weld plates but i was gonna replace as i wanted them mint.Also needs a fuel pump relay but will prob sort that and MOT and Tax and thats it

Any opinions on price greatly appreciated
