It isn't though...according to the VAG mechanics on DubGen its not too bigger job if you know what you're doing, literally new cams, lifters, cambelt change and an engine flush. Probably £400-£500 in parts to the trade.
If you really think the whole car is only worth scrap then I could break it instead, don't forget it isn't a pov spec 306 LX lol, theres plenty of saleable parts on it:
Turbo - Was £400 a few months back, must be worth at least £200 now? (I sold the broken one spares and repair for £100, never underestimate VAG tax!)
Decat - £50?
Allard EGR delete - £30?
SMIC inc DIY piping - £120?
Beetle wheels (I think) with 7mm tread all round - £150?
Montreal 2s (GTi wheels) with worse, but legal tyres and brand new centre caps - £150?
Audio - Alpine components - £50?
Headlights, with fogs, and all bulbs - £50?
Removeable towbar - £100?
GTi rear lights (red black black red) - £40 all 3, yes 3.
PiperX replacement air filter - £15?
Front and rear bumpers - must be £50 each at least?
Heated, leccy mirrors with blue tinted glass - £30 the pair?
130TDi armrest (only standard on 130 models) with centre dash so it fits right - £20?
GTi seats, good condition, barely any wear at all - £50?
4 fully secured standard carpet mats - £20?
I mean I've guessed fairly low prices there, some might be too high but I'd say they're all reasonable, and that comes to £1125 without any hassle really....surely the car must be worth more than that as a whole?
