So about 3 weeks ago the shell was taken away to be crushed. Didn't bother with trying to get it to the scrap yard and weigh it in myself as I was pushed for time etc. Ended up paying ?20 for a guy with a HIAB to take it to the breakers. Soon after the engine was picked up by a pallet courier and went on its way to the Netherlands.

After being in two minds whether to buy her back in the first place for breaking I am so glad that I did and would recomend anyone to do the same. I managed to make quite a tidy sum (obviousley performance parts fitted to the car helped bump the profit up)

I had a lot of organising to do from renting a garage to sorting logistics of moving parts to storage etc. I really had no idea where to start but everything planned out perfectly. At the begining I started a spread sheet which kept a record of items sold, postage cost, ebay fees, buy back cost etc and calculated my final profit This was brilliant as I'd have no idea what I made if I hadn't recorded it all.

Its gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside to know that she lives on in peices around the world. Many thanks to everyone that has bought things off me!
