just gotta be patient and not expect to get what "you" think its worth and more the actual value of the standard car+a small amount on top...
never get money back for mods, unless sold on there own...

My brothers just sold his modified corsa, same problems as you, people making false promises to him, he rung me up and I suggested he went to a local cruise gathering and sell it there, took him half an hour to sell it. Try your local cruise-site/meets.

On the other hand then what about your local paper? People tend to shy away from autotrader as things are overpriced so they try and get a cheap as chips deal in local wrags.

I put mine in adtrader.co.uk and mine was a 1.4 spi with bodykit, alloys etc it had over 100k miles and was 1994 model, I sold it to some chav for £1300. You should sell that fairly easy mate, just put it at £1500 ono and wait
