if its more trouble and cash than its worth or youve got to spare then scrap it. although at about £15 a ton you wont get much back.

I can't believe how much scrap value has tumbled over the last month or so. :eek: Even all the Pikey's have stopped visiting us :D

Scrap job's buggered at the mo, most yards and collector's [including myself] are offering Free tip or collection only, some will still pay £10-£20 if you take it to them, best try it on fleabay as a last resort before givin it away mate

Some spectacular spelling in that advert!

Crikey, that's rougher than a Bear's arse. :eek: No way is it 1982, A plate is August '83. It's an early car but it's not early enough or good enough to warrant saving. The colour is Sapphire blue.

It's only worth breaking. 2 litre LE Jet engine is worth about ten pounds, same for the box. I'd take the small case 3.45 diff out (good ratio), set of BBS, the Spax 'spensions, Zorst. If you can be arsed to take the head off, it might be worth 40 quid. Just strip it to a shell and flog the bits, innit?

By the way, I have a brand new unused chrome front bumper, 40 quid. winkeye
