I think you could get more if you broke it.

I'd be up for a rolling shell.

i might be interested in the wheels if they clear uk brakes

I would take the facelift headlights;-)

I'd be interested in the stick door cards

mate if you think you can get more more breaking it rather then selling it, break it dude

I am in the same boat at the moment with a White N/A Auto

I am presently preping it for Sale, as I decided if I broke it chances are I would be left with lots of bits.

Also the time I would have to put in to break it into lots of little bits, getting them packed and to the post office, is a major investment in time and effort

The other thing you could look at doing is a partial break, as in remove the more desirable items and replace them with 2nd hand stock parts, just depends how much time and space you have.

The problem is once you start breaking you could end up with half a car sat on your drive for a fair while, mine will be sold as a whole hopefully, as the wife wants her space back on the drive asap:innocent:

To be honest yours is also in a desirable colour and if it drives well and is mechanically sound it should sell for £2500 I would of thought, just might have to be patient, but the summer is coming, so the Boyz want there Toyz

I may also be interested in a rolling shell as long as the body isn't missing any bits, wings bonnet etc

Just sell it summer is coming and people want this type of car, it's a real shame to see these cars being broken down.

Heck it's only £2500 you may as well keep it for those days when your bored.

What would you guys pay for a rolling shell ?

If it comes with all the body panels it doesnt leave much to sell to get any more money.

Engine, box, diff, interior arent going to fetch a lot of money so in my opinion clean your car and sort out any problems and sell as a whole.

hey all, thanks for all the replys, i just need to figure out how much i will get for everything. I cant keep the car as i have an mr2 turbo and am putting all spare cash in to it and im not driving the supra.

A COUPLE OF BITS I FORGOT TO MENTION.

The aero top has been sealed on with silicone and the passenger door will need respraying as the paint is cracking (its still smooth though, looks like air brushed frost)

like i said, just got to figure out what i will get for her in bits, already getting offers on the rims and lights.

feel free to pm me offers for bits so i can start getting an idea of what money she will make

cheers all

What make and model are the wheels?

they have got 'Fuel' centre caps but i cant find them in that size on there site, they look like dotz mugellos

If you're getting decent offers on the lights and that, why not try selling them on a part exchange basis? Buyer gives you some cash + their pre-facelift lights?

You sure they are 11.5" rears? Also be interested in steering wheel, dash panels an plenty of little bits and pieces.

Also think being an aerotop you'd get quite good money for the shell

they are 285 rears (just over 11inches) and 255 front

I would remove as many of the aftermarket parts as you can, replace with stock parts, then sell the car and parts separately.

i am debating about it, theres been quite abit of interest, just need more offers so i can build a list of roughly what im looking at.

also got an aftermarket splitter, rear lights (standard) and front indicator / side lights (standard)

Peoples opinions will be different, people wanting parts will say break it, others will just say sell it as a whole. I guess its up to you whether you want little bits of cash coming from parts or wait for a big chuck for the whole car. And if you can be botherd to break it and have parts left over that nobody wants.

Clean it up and sell as a whole for a real temping price

true, if i get a couple more takers on afew bits, she will be stripped
