Hmm

As a rolling shell, it usually comes down to the amount of extras, and the condition of the bodywork.  

From what you have posted, you don\'t have too many mods (re-usable engine goodies, gauges, interior upgrades, etc) so it will be down to the state of the body... but I would guess somewhere between 1000-1500, give or take

For comparison, Ash has just sold his shell (see: http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54653) and Craig is looking to sell his (see: http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54455).

Edit: Guess I should say that I may be in the market for a replacement shell in a few weeks, if the Insurers don\'t mess me around (they\'ve been reasonably good so far - but will wait to see what the initial offer is before I praise them too much :D)

If you the time to spare and have a bit car knowledge why not repair it yourself? Seems daft in the current ,arket to sell it as it will be worth, well not a lot.... Depending on whats happened, which you wont know til you strip the engine, you can recondition it yourself if you feel confident enough for around £800 for the parts assuming good rotors housings and plates... Just a thought

If i was you i would take your existing engine out, strip it and sell the parts that are good. This is a cheaper option than rebuilding it. Second hand blocks can be brought for a £1000, (freshly built of course).
