What would my mint classic shell be worth?

Its a W reg, finished in Imperial blue with a genuine carbon roof (with fins) bonnet and boot not included.

100% dent & scratch free

Not too sure what they were going for these days, thanks!

Not sure but the more desirable shells like the Type R ones can go between 800-1300 for a rolling shell. Sold my mint V3 STi Type R shell for £1k, But scrapped two 1998 STi wagon shells last year as I had no interest in them. But if yours is mint you could get some interest as it saves anyone who might want to spray there car just transferring all there stuff to your shell!!!

Im not sure, i love my scoob sooo much but due to different reasons i havent been able to drive it properly since june! Its near on completion now but im not sure if ive just had enough. I want to be able to enjoy it and i havent for so long, just wondering if i should get something like an M3 at least i could drive it although it would no way be as quick!
In other words im fed up & throwing a strop, i bought my scoob to have a good laugh in, not to stare at it in the garage looking pretty :/

Why would an M3 get driven more then?

Kirstiestar

iTrader: (2)

Cos they aren't tuned, it would just be a standard car if you get what i mean. Ive had endless grief with mine and although its finished really i think ive just had enough, missed out on loads of shows etc due to it being off the road or unmapped

Yeah I understand, well its a shame if it goes mate thats a cracker from what i've seen so far!

What issues does it have at the mo?

Kirstiestar

iTrader: (2)

As i said its almost done, just waiting on people (as always) to get my hoses etc painted so engine can go back in, already had to take them to someone else cos they were being long about it, and just all takes time!
Ive had endless probs with mapping, everytime i take it, there is a problem ie misfire. We have changed everything it could be now but doesnt stop you worrying! Its booked in at the end of the month but dont think i will get my parts back in time now

I'm feeling the same today, stroppy and the wind taken out of my sails. Although my cars on the road a few things have thrown my engine project up in the air and I'm having to rethink completely what i'm doing and what to buy.
Put it out of your head, forget about your car for a bit because once you get it back you'll fall back in love and go to all the shows in the summer.

never to old to play with cars.
i know how you feel about it always sitting in the garage and worryong about issues, mine also used to misfire about 3500rpm but when it goes right its good.

i just had mine looked at and was relived it was not a serious problem but the issues is there but atleast i can forget the worrying.
to me its an excuse to make it better
