It will break well enough, imo.



4k+ in there if breaking so a good investment, may take a while though :-k

What seats are in there ?

At 500 yeah defo, I'd be looking at keeping some of the parts as spares now as I've realised over the last few months there are some parts that are going to be considerably hard to get hold of soon enough, ie parts that rust easy and that are mainly rev3+ turbo parts etc :thumleft:

I just can't get my head around breaking. I mean seriously, what is the point? I've broken 2 over my 20 years of ownership and sold off the unwanted parts of my most recent tubby. The gains are nowhere near worth the hassle. £4k over the course of 1-2 years is simply not worth it.

I broke my rev3,

It took around 2 months to break. Sold the engine turbo etc.. I came out with just over 5k in total. The car cost me £2.5k to buy. It wasn't that much hassle and parts went quickly.

I needed a house deposit so it made perfect sense. :thumleft:

I'll see what I can get out of it.
Raceland buckets :lol: but Alcan door cards and I have a set of original half leather seats in the spares pile that will go when I get around to breaking this. :thumleft:

Yeah, I do have/plan to keep some bits for mine.
What's the rusty bits? I am intrigued. :mrgreen:

Over 1-2 years I agree it isn't worthwhile, unless you have free storage.
I won't have this in bits that long.

Nice, Draven. This will go in my house deposit pot, too.

Cheers, lads.
