I might just sell of most of the goodies and stoor it for a couple of years and then go for a rebuild again as the shell is mint so it would be a shame to break it up.

 

sell complete if u can..

 

complete

 

Sell it to someone like me as a complete car?

 

i would say sell complete its a pain in the arse selling a car by breaking it, and unless youve got the patience to wrap and post everything its just plain annoying.

 

I will stick it up in the forsale section later with some more pics etc but it won't be going cheap as it is mint with low mileage and I've spent over 2K on it this year alone on new suspension wheels brakes etc.

 

before you decide make up a sensible value you'd take for the car complete, then write a list of all the uprated bits and good bits like engine, box, diffs, then do a list of all bits like headlights and bits and bobs...put a price on items on each list. Ignore the second list and compare the good list to your complete value, if it's somewhere near then it wont be as bad as you think breaking it as you wont be too long without the money (good bits always sell well!!!)

Hope that made sense; i'm a little baked right now

I can sell a lot of the bits without problems as I still have alot of the standard parts hence why I might do a rebuild at a later date if I keep it in storage for a couple of years.

 

Sounds like a good idea to release some cash then dude, sell of some of the high value bits and go back to std..........you could mothball it and use as a semi-investment that you can enjoy in the summer months

Cheers
Dan

 

will buy the shell

 

some more pics

 

looks very nice car there mate,try and sell it complete if you can

 

If I thought I'd get what I wanted for it complete I wouldn't think twice about breaking it as I've spend over 3 years and shit load of money getting it to how it is now.

 

Looks mint, I would try to sell complete. Would be sad to strip it...

 

Noooooooo you carnt sell it Jemis its such a nice car. Just keep it fella. You dont have any spare pas pump brackets do you. Ive been lookin all over for one.

 

It would be a shame to break such a nice car. Either keep it or sell it whole IMO

 

At the end of the day mate its all about money

and the only way to make decent money is to break

 

I wish I could keep it Glen but we have another baby on the way and is you know it doesn't get out much as it is although I am thinking of taking it back to a rolling chassis then rebuilding it in a couple of years when I should have some spare time again as I would struggle to find another shell as good as this one.

Can't help you with the brackets mate have you tried Jacko of here.

 

Dude its a gem....No seriously , it really is
plug it away until Family/funds allow/warrant a toy
but if you do have to break it
First dibs on the revs as i have the Willwoods and they look so perfect infront of them
Cheers

Its now in the forsale section but I'm still thinking of breaking as I've had some decent offers for some of the bits.

 

complete.

It would be a shame for another cossie to end up in bits.
At least you know you will get £5000+ for it in one lump sum.

 

Your mad mate.If i had the money i would take it off your hands.

 

I have decided to sell of some of the bits and rebuild it at a later date to a more sensible stage 3 may be so let me know if anyparts take your fancy.

The wheels have been advertised in the wheel section.

 

break it!!!

 

Mate its utter ballache breaking a car, all the shiney bits will go right away and you'll think you're on a winner then you end up stuck with bits forever

 

youll usually get more if you break it but its a lot of hassle selling bits at a time.

 

I'm not bothered like I say I will rebuild it in a couple of years or so using what ever is left so for now I'm happy enough to get some money of selling the good bits. I'm not bothered about selling the engine itself unless it was for a very good offer and obviously I don't want to sell any of the bodywork but pretty much anything else is up for grabs.

Some parts and prices already listed here.
