the car running might get you 1500+, in parts it'll get you £150

there more spares than cars these days, if anyone needs anything mike or cgb have 100 of everything.. make no sense breaking a 5, you'll end up with tons of sh1t you can't sell..

i think you should give it to me as a present to cheer me up as still recovering from my busted leg, and had to sell the 5 because of it. And thats the perfect colour lol.

If i was working and had the cash would have had it straight of ya hands. How much are you looking for it how is anyway pm me if ya want.

Or maybe i should push my luck with the missus and ask to use the ccard. Sure id get a slap lol and told to f off.

Lol @ the vultures, it's not a for sale thread, simply asking a question. I reckon fix it up and sell it as a whole car - it'd make a lot of RTOCers happy (except those that want parts) :laugh:
