Got offered a gorgeous black/green zs for parts :O

What a shame so possibly buying the whole car and hoping for some help to source parts from you guys new year..

The car:

Comes with:
The cars got polybush front and think on the rear.
uprated springs and shocks all round grooved discs all round amp wiring kit and sound deadened boot lid hid kit new wheel nuts and lockers and any other bits i find ie new badges and wheel centres

Thing is he's sold one of the rear calipers engine box and engine loom..

Is it worth £800

And would the parts cost more than it's worth overall

missing bits are engine, box, gear selector,wire loom, exhaust 1 rear caliper and disk there is a chipped ecu with it and stainless back box with it and its got 95k on the clock

If memory serves right im thinking this is the only MK2 180 painted in Black Olive (Monogram colour)

Edit: no engine box exhaust etc... Then its not worth 800. Imo, 4-500 max

If it is black olive then definitely worth putting back on the road. I will have an engine, gearbox and exhaust manifold available after crimble.

What on earth is that getting broken for ....

With the engine having been removed already though, financially, unless you are good at that type of thing, it'll be costly to get back on the road. With it being such a rare colour, the body parts won't be that desireable as they'll have to be sprayed so breaking this might not actually net that much. Getting it back on the road would be a far better option IMHO.

Personally - I'd love that with a T conversion but the cost would be a killer as I'd have to take it to someone like Red to do it all. End result would be something very special though ....

What interior does it have ?

All smells a bit fishy this one.

Has full black leather and not sure if to buy or not..

Needs a lot of work but luckily the brother in law builds stock cars from the ground up and said he can put the engine in no problem it's just the initially £800 is bit worth it

End of the day it is worth what someone (in this case you) is willing to pay for it...

Maybe try to haggle pointing out that as it is a very rare colour it would be costly to break...

If I had the money I'd buy it... lol
