really, i know the mtec kit would fit a touring, how much is the kit and bbs worth

Ebay is full of saddos . What about the other people that were bidding up to Ԛ£1000-Ԛ£1100 have you contacted them?, because to be honest i would consider myself lucky getting a grand for it. Breaking it is not really an option, you need space, time and patience. you would sell the kit fairly quickly for Ԛ£4-500, the wheels Ԛ£1-200 and the rest could take months especially now that the zone classifieds have turned into a ghost town !

hi, pete i have the space i used to be in the motor trade aswell , just pissed off now think i could get quick cash for the kit and 5 x bbs unkerbed , and air con what would you do.

But have you got the time / patience / energy to pull it to bits / then slowly sell it bit by bit ?
going to the bank every other day. packing / wraping / taping / posting.
i think its great fun, but thats just me, and i have all the time in the world.(but no space)
you need cash asap.

true mate, but on the plus side it will help others looking for genuine parts.

you should be thinking of yourself.

Worth more in parts if they come and pick them up!!! Or you have half a car on the drive. More time wasters!!!

i know mate, but fed up of waiting to sell it.

you could break a car like yours in 2 weeks (1 if you dont have to go to work) (i assume you've got a FTJ ?)
then have most of it sold in a month.

small world eh, mate.

Thing I found with breaking my old Escort was that I didnt make that much on it. OK it had a mullered engine and was getting rotten, so it was just trying to recoup as much as I could.

But I dont think I made more than Ԛ£250 You need space and an understanding Parents/Mrs to do it justice and to be honest I got sick of it and got the remains scrapped for Ԛ£40

If the car still runs try doing it whole first. Then try again if it doesnt sell. Only view breaking as a last resort as you simply wont get the same (or more) than a complete running car.

hi, i thought about it spoke to some freinds and they sais your crazy to break such a nice 325ise, its clean , runs superb. they said im an idiot to break such a genuine car, so im not going to now , gonna try the zone first , then see what happens cheers mate rob

I agree (a little) with what Rich_W said.
It's a proper PITA breaking it compared to selling it as a whole car.

A car should only be broken if it wont pass another MOT test, and is a proper RUSTY OLD DOG (which yours isn't)

thanks to my mates and you guys i saw sense, far to good to break. it would be a crime. thanks mate.

Just something else I thought of.

You have to be SOO careful when you remove the parts too. Suspension and bolt on off stuffs not to difficult. But bodykits and interior trims can easily become useless if you make a mistake when taking them off. Only takes 1 broken clip and you've lost the value.
