whats the going rate for a good 1.8i engine

ive decided to brake my mk1 and was wondering how much i should be asking for the engine its done 93000 miles and runs sweet?

also i was wondering what parts are hard to come by,that i could strip of it before i scrap it?

Why are you breaking it? 8O whats wrong rot? :dontknow:  :dontknow:  or mechanics,you,ll be better selling it off whole to someone on here that might put the time in to get it sorted,and obviously not wanting to miss atrick I have a nice semi-restored 3-door shell    

its shafted bud trust me,the interior and engine are imaculate along with the webesto roof but the rear end is in a bad bad way,rear quarter ,inner arch,inner wing inner and outer sills,floor,rear valance,rear chassis rotten and its all been bodged in the past which makes it harder again

You have pm 8)

Sounds like its lived in the sea     ,I still think that if you post some pic's up you will sell it whole :wink:

like ive said its shafted,thats why the parts are on  ebay,i havent the time to mess with it.some cars are good for resto and some are not this one is a case,ive restored a handfull of cars in the past and no when to call it a day,if i could have got a new shell for ok money id have kept it. but a good shell is hard to come by.

I think not

I recently brought a decent DX engine for ?50!!!! with 111,000 miles on it!

but I've seen em them go for anything between ?30 and ?200 it depends really if you can verify the milege have reciepts for work done and the overall condition of the engine asthecticly??  :wink:
