Default Help me make a decision.....sale/value of my car. pics

What do you guys thing? Was wondering to break/sell or spend more on me motor. Have owned her now for 5 years and was thinking of moving on. Problem is I dont know what to value her at, or wheather or not to sell it /break it or not had loads of motors in the past but have kept this as me personnel car plus it was my 1st ever cossy. Only covered 2k miles since rebuild.
Basic spec is its been fully restored, f reg, mercury grey, 330bhp, T3/4 turbo/intercooler etc, leather, alloys, konis,carbon fibre 500 spoiler etc just silly things that add up.
Everything has been rebuilt or reconditioned from starter to alternator, engine to diff, driveshafts to wheel bearings etc, Every mechanical part has had some sort of renavation.
Heres some pics tell me what you thing.

looks well does that, clearly had lots of time and effort

you wont get anything like the cash youve spent on it in one piece mind and also if id spent that much time and effort on a car i wouldnt want to just sell it on

worth more in bits

Thing is I want to build a big power cosworth. Have loads of ideas and specs, would in my opinion be a shame to take this all apart again and rebuilt, seems a waste of time/effort and money. I dont know decisions etc
thanx for comments

its a tough call however i think you would get more in bits.

Also, Mercury Grey is not a cossie colour as cossies were available in flint grey. The Mercury grey was used on base models upto the Ghia as my old man has one
