Nooooo nightmare Ran, understand why you need to though. You will make more money that way without doubt.

Plenty of top parts on your car Ran, you'll make some decent money out of it

OK car but is does need a lot of cash spent on it (fair play for being so honest in the advert) etc so £6K is just too much as it will suddenly end up being a £9K to £10K car...

If you lower the price I may be interested but suspect you won't or not to the level, I'm thinking....!

I don't know about the rest of you but when I'm selling something people want to give me fuck all for it and when I want something I've gotta pay top money for it

Shame Ran that is has to come to this but I understand where you are coming from, cossies definately make you more money when you break them, its a shame because it means another cossie has gone but as stated above if you sell the shell too someone will revitalise it

my offer still stands
Although everybody things breaking is good money, it aint easy, people tend to forget what a complete ball ache it can be, imagine all the timewasters you've had with the car and multiply them for every part your trying to sell, they soon add up, its a ball ache to say the least.

thanks for the encouragment guys

shell will be sold also.

Porkie - of course this is not a for sale ad as there are no parts and prices listed This is merely an awareness post

Tabz - thanks for the offer mate but I have already agreed to sell the engine and turbo so its definately gonna get broke. Tis a shame as I only wanted a few hundred quid more than what was offered

hopefully i will still make enough to keep the front bumper and splitter
