    depends on you knowledge, do you have an engine crane? full set of tools?

    dont break your car, id sell it a repairable

    if the engines fooked thats where you would have clawed most of your cash back, if it aint A1 condition youll get fook all...

    not really mate, witout an intact engine you lose botu £500

    if you loom on here you will see only things like seat, wheels, rear beam etc sell, not sunroofs, dashes,and other small bits.

    remeber who your selling too, peeps dont wanna pay much for used parts.
