I'd say £200-£250 for the car wouldn't be bad really, it's under £200 for the parts and I should sell it easily enough for £1000 so there's enough profit in it. Not like I need stretch myself to do the work, I have pleeeenty of spare time and could do with the extra cash | |

One tip - label all the plugs, pipes and hoses A+A, B+B, etc. Will make it so much easier when it comes to piecing it together. | |

I would probably only go to £100 max assuming everything else was sound. | |

personally i wouldnt pay more than £100 for it, you should be fine doing the head gasket on it as there pretty simple. when tensioning the belt back up there is ment to be a special tool for tensioning them but we just use a pair of angled circlip pliers, you will see 2 small holes in the tensioner, just insert your angled pliers into the two holes and turn the tensioner untill the arrow lines up with the slot. if you need any help with it just send me a u2u mate | |

same time ish as an 8v if you know your stuff, and there is still only one cam pully on the 16v so no tools needed | |
