right, the story begins

i will add that its not a genuine cossie shell

i have a 3dr cossie rep, in imperial blue. it has everything 1.6 on it unfortuatly. brakes diff etc. it will have a 2.1 fuel injected pinto. front recaros and top half dash. all electrics on switches rather than the stalks. no electrics at all, as in windows central locking etc. no power steering

now comes the question, i dont no wether to keep it or not. i have loads of saph cossie bits. like complete rear beam, arms brakes and diff, and complete crossmember, powersteering Tca's hubs and frotn brakes.

now do i put the cossie stuff on? of do i leave it? if i choose to sell it, would i get more for it as it is and sell the cossie stuff? or do i put the cossie stuff on and sell it.

the shell itsself is pretty mint. the inside needs to be painted but that will get done at some point anyway

pictures at bottom

wheels are bit gash but will try and get some when i have some money. same with exhaust, standard all the way through until the back box where there is a shit 5" jobby, which, i must add, was on there when i got it

help help help

im going to put a poll at the top but i ould appreciate replys to explain your choices

cheers in advance

 

Give up now and scrap it

Oh and get a full time job aswell

 

you dont work at all so shut it. any good helpful comments about the above topic ?

 

I have already given you a helpful comment

Incase you missed it:

 

strip it sell as a rolling shell for a cossi and sell all the cossi bits seperate you will get more that way. imo

 

Right, basically, the way i see it, if the shell isn't rotten, and hasn't had shitloads of welding, and isn't rusting/going to need welding anytime soon then keep it.

You should never let go of a tidy shell.

As for the cosworth parts, it depends if you can relasitcally afford to have it painted etc. Plus theres the fact i personally don't like drilling holes in cars that aren't rusty, for obvious reasons

Looks good as it is to me

 

i can spray the inside. why would i need to drill holes ?

 

for those that say sell it as is, what do u rekon its worth, and what do u think its worth with all the stuff on ?

 

I meant spraying cossie parts, and fitting cossy parts to the bodywork (on the assumption there is parts that need attaching in this way)

 

the only bit i have that are cossie that would go on is

complete rear beam arms and diff, complete fron crossmember powersteering hubs tcas and cossie brakes all round. so no painting needed

 

Get rid mate before u get yourself in too deep! You could be pumping alot of money into this for a long time, for what will be little return!

 

i know your views exactly mate, but, to be honest, i havnt put that much cash into it, i mean there was the engine, and about Ł50 for some other bits and pieces and say another Ł50 for the paint but apart from buying the car back, thats it

 

Id sell it as a rolling shell there's plenty of people out there that want a good 3 door shell to do cossie conversions with then put the rest on ebay i recon you would make more money that way

 

It all also depends on how much you value the car and what sentimental value it has to you

 

well everything has its price.... that was half the point of this thread, to try and decide what its worth, and the to make the decision to wether or not i want to keep it.

its all down to money lol
