Anyone else broken up any classics recently as i am thinking of breaking my one!

Just after clues on the value of parts now as its been a while since i broke one! headgasket has gone and its got a dented door so it does not seam worth fixing!

So what do you recon the bits are worth?

 

and yes its a 10,000 mile old SMR recon engine so shocked it lasted this long!

 

Never heard of SMR, are there engines a bit chocolate then???

sent this on to a mate who used to work in a breakers and flog bits, and may even be interested in the car or big bits of it since he has a silver K reg import impreza... ... any idea on price for whole car?

 

Car owes me £1500, never going to get that back with the h/g gone so it will be break or fix


SMR are the ****test of the ****, all linked to heathrow engines (the one thats been on watchdog so so many times)

 

And if anyone trys to tell you they are good they are lieing! got a 15k SMR one in my garage in bits, h/g went at 10k bottom end went at 15k

 

ok hehe! shame tho.


My mate MAY want some bits like FMIC, strut brace, gauge pod, induction kit, rear spoiler if the price is right but I can't promise anything. Mailed him this post.


Prices - I think the floor has dropped out of old import scoobies...and their parts!

I'll guess... I only bought used bits not stripped a car!

Rear high level spoiler - £100-£150 ??
Gauge pod - £30
FMIC - £100 ish ( new Hybrids are only £280 )
Induction kit .. dunno, £20 ??
Uprated wastegate capsule ( is it a forge one ? ) ?? - £80 ish
Dump valve - depends on make - HKS SSQV £100 others less?
Ally bonnet ( is it ?? ) - £100-£150 + ??
Strut brace - £100+ if STi, maybe £50 if not?
Ally water header tank, £40 ??
Wheels - £100 - £250 depends on condition and tyres tread left?

Brakes - 2 pots? £50 ?? or £200 ish for 4 pots inc good discs and pads???

Gearbox - £200 + depends on condition, upto £500 +



Lots of the little bits will find fair money if you do break it up, even the bits I used to get for my classic like air vents, dash trim, boot trim, cigar lighter, etc were £5 here, £10 there, £20 the other .. so you may well ( if enough classic people are interested .. else you have half a car in the way! )
