I know, I know, I hate these threads too lol but it has to be done!

Im thinking of breaking my 1994 EP82 back to standard and selling it. Unfortunately it has suspected piston damage in 2 and 3 so will obviously need a rebuild. The car has only done around 80,000km and is pretty mint to be fair.

Only things on it that will stay and are aftermarket will be Magnecore HT leads, Exedy Organic clutch, probably a new Dave B exhaust and possibly 16" Rota Grids (may even sell these seperate). Also has a genuine TOMS front bumper with the toyota optional side skirts and spats and other little things like MOMO wheel, TRD gear knob etc. The only bad bits on it are really a couple of parking dings in the drivers door and a small crack in the TOMS bumper, apart from that I'd say it was one of the best examples I have seen.

Any ideas on how much I should look for before I put it in the for sale section, I have no idea???? :)

Maybe around ... £2000 ... seems fairly priced to me especially with the genuine TOMS kit and other bits and bobs.

EDIT: Just had a look at PH and your maybe looking at less than £2000 buddy.

an accident? hows that occur.

Id say at least 2k mate, you can pick up a new engine for £500 like so someones getting a barging of a car.

You not thought about getting another engine in and putting it up for 3k or something?

Thanks dan,

Yea i thought about it but I just havn't got the know how to put one in so would ultimately have to pay someone, so by the time it's done it would almost be pointless me thinks money wise :(

Put it up for £2300-2400 with room to haggle:)

Could do I suppose, I like a good haggle lol :p!

To be fair there is like nearly £1k's worth of stuff on it so if someone could get an engine and put it in for £500, then £2500 is a right bargain IMO!

Can I just add that it would drive so no trailers etc would be needed to get it home lol (thought that might be a cost consideration)

I dunno if I can be arsed Matt, I'd have to find one, then drive god knows how far to collect it and then pay someone to fit it because I think we'd struggle! Ive already had too much shit over the last few months with the engine :mad:!

I know how oyu feel, bloody headce, had drop the engine off then the car to Toytunning, (too many cow boys in brum). but it was the best option for me!
I think if you break it you may get around 1500-2k for it, just had to add up you mods and parts

i made about 1500 breaking my near standard GT. Granted I did sell a working engine for £300 tho.

But with your mods etc you should make up for a non working engine.
