Default I don't quite know what to do - sell or keep? Possbly Whats it worth?

If you check out my sig, I've been on and off with my car for years.

I'm stuck with what to do with it now, its just left outside and not being used. I don't have the money to fix it up right now (saving for a house), and even if I don't buy a house I might be emigrating to the USA in the near future for work.

I don't want to let it just rot away but I also don't want to let it go for nothing.

Bad points about the car:
  • no back seats or door cards or roof card. gets very loud inside
  • harsh suspension (Ohlins fast road/track)
  • intermittent Error 22 (electrical bug I can not seem to get to the bottom of)
  • I think the water pump impeller has rusted itself into the coolant. needs checking out
  • Tyres are poor, one is flat
Good points about the car:
  • V3 STI in white - getting rarer and rarer.
  • Refurbed all under chassis metal, see build thread
  • Refurbed shocks, new wheel bearings,
  • FMIC, 3 port bcs, fuelab fpr, (bigger 740cc injectors in a box will come with the car too if wanted)
  • ESL mapped by Andrew Carr
  • 3" full decat
  • Full respray recently
Car has 140k on the clock however it had an engine refurb at 105k, and the odometer is in KM. MoT history is pretty dogged until I started to clean it up over the last few years.

Should I sell or is it just a keep and leave in storage?

Whats it worth? I've no idea tbh. I know a nice clean car demands big money but as soon as you mod a car you never get back what you spent on it ..

Neither just rather it went to someone who’d use it instead of sitting outside on the driveway
