I've a T reg meridian estate that we really are not using now. Had a cambelt, tensioner water pump and aux belt November last year, has 118k on the clock, FSH, C5 steels with winter tyres, GTi front brakes but has a few issues - lacquer peel on nearside doors, beam is setup for oval racing, no aircon and heater box needs replacing. I was about to stick KW V2s (with 160lb springs) and a new beam on it but it seems a bit pointless due to the lack of use (we've done I think maximum 2k in it since September).
What do you reckon? £350? £600? Mars bar and bag of crisps? Scrap it and be done?
Thanks

All depends on how much MOT mate, if it's long £350+, if there's none then it's a scrapper once you've liberated the wheels and brakes.

October, except the beam it'd pass no problem. In fact there's no movement on it, just camber so it'd pass anyway. Had a very small amount of welding last year as a preventative measure. Ok I'll think on 350, might be worth breaking then!

You'll struggle to make money breaking it these days.
Better to sell as a whole for a few hundred quid.

Defo better to get rid of it whole, there is no value in breaking anything that isn't a GTi/Rallye/Cabby.
You might make as much but not once you factor in your time at a sensible hourly rate.

As an aside, are the KW V2s going spare and how much would you consider selling them for if they were? Plus what condition etc. etc.
