Short TAX and MOT but if it's as clean as it looks i reckon you'll do £400 on it on eBay.

Are you sure the timing belt has slipped though?

really depends what your plans are for instance if your going to buy another B why not keep this one and get a nice engine built for it rather then buying another one which could have numerous problems you dont even know about

Tbh Shep's idea is probably actually the better route to go down because you won't have to register the new engine and all that rubbish.

Worth more if you do the work.

Paying labour will make it less worthwhile.
