It features factory rust on the rear arches and smells of old Ford. The tracking is miles out too, but other than that I think it'll last until Feb when the MOT runs out 
What do you lot think it's worth in scrap/parts now? The MOT is out in January and I'm not optimistic about it's chances in passing!

I think i've made 1.2k from my puma parts. Had leather interior though.
I recently sold the engine without loom for 50 quid. Bare shell went to the scrappers for 60 quid. Cd player was 30, clocks, doors, wings, lights etc 20 each. All adds up.

Apparently, webuyanycar just auction off the cars. I didn't know this and thought I would share.

They're in partnership with car giant and places like that iirc.
When I did a quote, I was told to go to the car giant near me to hand it over.

How long did it take you to shift it all though??
That's no bad money for a car that can be had for about £600.
Guessing you got about £800 just for the interior??

Took ages, but it was all in my dads/my garage so wasn't an issue.
Interior only went for £170. It's all the other little bits that bring the money in.
Not a bad little earner if you can buy them cheap and have somewhere to store them.
