it depends on how much time and space you have to house all of the bits that take longer to sell...

i have 3 garages, so that shouldnt be a problem..

just the issue of the shell...

would i be worthwhile making it a rolling shell with std suspension etc or just leave the avo's on and sell like that

i think it would be more appealing if you left the Avo's on it to be honest, as for everything else i reckon you would make the money selling it all off. might take time but i think you'll get more that way

Do you still have a complete spare engine?? You could sell it as a complete car with just an XE in & sell the other bits seperatly?

Shell with 2L XE, cage, seats, 2L brakes, racelines with good tyres, AVO's - £2k ???

Granted you will need to fit an engine but your removing one anyway!!

brakes from a cavalier in a scrap yard, but yeah you would need time and effort to build it up too.

Go scouring some scrappies manny, rip up a cav or calibra's brakes & stuff them down your socks

Im just thinksing along lines of what will get you more money & a whole (standard) stripped car will sell for more than broke stripped one if you get what I mean.

Or stick a 1.6 16v in there as thats the way foward.

You have a self made track car plus you can sell the 2ltr fitting kit

What would an entry level track car sell for??? £2k - £3k???

Ready to go 1.6 0r 2L, with pretty basic setup - cage, buckets, harnesses etc???

You could probably make an extra grand doing this....depends how much you value your time off work & if you want to be chopping engines / brakes.....which your already half doing stripping it!!?? Or get fee to do it while your away
