how longs a piece of string

depends on sooo many factors, what people want, condition of parts, what spec stuff you have on the car, and if anyone wants anything

could be anything between 2-6k id guess roughly!

Regardless of what people want parts go on Ebay EVERY week mate! You'd get 4k minimum IMO!

With all the MSD bits and a T34 you'd do well...

People really do need to wake up and realise Saphs just are not worth anything anymore. The 4x4 Sticky and Shorty sold was mint with only 3 owners and that only reached £5k. I dont like seeing the cars getting broken up but i can see why people do it as they are worth alot more in bits.

If you want to break it mate , look on e/bay and see how much stuff sells for ,,look how many items there are and you will see that every man and his dog is breaking cossies on there and as i said 18 months ago ,,this will have a massive effect on cossie prices and there parts ,,IT HAS ,,

You will sell all the bling bits and be left with everything else cluttering up your garage uless you vertually give it away

Look at cars being broke on here over the last 3 months ,,unless a massive spec the parts just dont sell ,

There was a moonstone 4x4 being broke on here ,, a week or so after he said he was breaking it , it suddenly ended up as being sold complete , minus engine and box , cooler etc as he couldnt sell fuck all and has it actually sold ????? im sure it ended up on fleebay

as paul has said, unless its something special or has lots of good bits, you will find it hard to shift the bits.

as paul says, you will sell a lot of the good parts quickly, but be left with a lot of shit that takes up a lot of space and will only sell for pennies

nevertheless, you will probably make at least £4k but it is hassle sending stuff out, dealing with time wasters etc
