"Red"

[Dan1971]

Right guys come on - I want rid.

The engine's there - worth what - £250-£350 and the wheels £200+ ... ?

Someone give me £450 for it and take it away from the front of my house as the Mrs is doing her nut. Plenty left there to make a few quid and then weigh in what's left. (Brakes, doors including boot and spoiler, brakes etc etc etc )

Needs to be trailered away.

are the rear calipers worth selling mate? not binding? Might be worth advertising separately as they are a common complaint?

One side's OK mate - but that's the point .... can't be arsed with taking it off, advertising, packaging etc etc etc. I haven't time or inclination !

[Smokey]

Ah ok, fair point! Shame it's going to waste really!

[M17TT180]

My offer still stands.

[Dan1971]

My offer still stands.

As does my counter offer! :smart:

I'm sure that there will only be so much of your missus moaning you can take.

After 19 years - my tolerance levels are very high !

My Zed is still upset that another MK1 going to the carpark in the sky............. Trouble is not a lot on yours I need????

sorry to say the last time i sold a engine i scraped £150 quid for it on ebay plus fee's. I remember the days of decent money but there long gone :sorry:

[Dan1971]

I know .... I'll end up having to pay someone to take it away !

[Supercharged_Z]

you will get £60 quid for rear calipers and carriers on crx forum £80 for the fronts. maybe a little more if you include discs

£30 for the rear anti roll bar too

[M17TT180]

I can give you the number of someone who will come and take it away and give you 40 quid. They are in hoddesdon. Strip as much as you can off first tho.

[mattie007]

£40? A local scrappy collected my brothers Saxo for £220!

[M17TT180]

Yes but was that a whole car? Steel is only around £120 per tonne atm.

[mattie007]

Yep, everything still in there!

[M17TT180]

Yep, everything still in there!

Thats the difference then. Theyll strip it and make money back on the parts. Tbh I phoned a lot of places and most wouldnt even touch it. If I could get it to them then they'd give me a bit more but both were non runners. Only 3 got back saying they'll collect out of the nearly 40 places I tried.

Got round to taking a few bits off the other day and actually got the Mrs involved ... Spent a full 30 mins with her looking for the 2 hidden bolts at the back of the inlet manifold only to find that there weren't any done up, and with a good pull the thing came off in my hands !

It's gonna be left with the chassis and the engine I reckon and then I'll get my mate round with a trailer and weigh it in for scrap - remove the wheels at the scrappies and sell them and I'll just have a shed full of odds and sods for when members get into trouble with a ding and I'll be there like a knight in shining armour !

Shame as the engine and gearbox's a good one, but saw one go on the bay the other night for £99.99 .... Thing is, our V6 engine's are that good they don't play up unless you do big things to them and they don't like it so there's no demand.

[peterzs]

and with a good pull the thing came off in my hands !

Engines and stuff all getting older Dan, so the need will be there.

Got to look after your nuts!!!

:clap::clap::clap:

get the brakes off and wheels and any thing else and get them to collect I had a few collected and still got top money saves messing around, they will just lift it onto the truck usually.

[Supercharged_Z]

also take the battery in seperatly and any cats you have. pre cat and std cat. The metals are worth more

[Dan1971]

All gone..... Few bits left in the shed, but the chassis etc collected and scrapped for the grand sum of £30.



Sad day really but there we go. Few bits dished out here and there on the site.

[andys1981]
