Interest in Breaking 90 EGI?

[hawker182]

Been offered a non running 1990 EGI in bl**dy good nick, pretty sure i can get it going again but am really thinking spares?

Would there be much interest in people taking parts....be looking to break the whole thing if need be before it goes to car heaven. Dont wanna buy it then have it sat on the drive for years :Giggle

If the body is in good nick, I\'d try to get it running again. There are fewer and fewer FCs around, so sending another to the great scrapyard in the sky may not be a good move.

Yeah bodywork is ok, needs some welding in the usual places but other than that think getting it started again is going to be ok. Just dont know if i have the time/room to work on another FC, this one needs MOT\'in too which means i\'ve got 2fcs, neither running. And the TII is eating up alot of time and money.

I could sure do with some parts from it and it was heading to the scrap anyway, so i dunno, get it running sell? or break it?

How much do nice EGI\'s fetch these days, its got a full service history and MOT\'s dating right back to when i was born lol, could sell it as a potentially nice FC. Damn these cars :Laugh

if you do break it - i know someone who wants an engine

if you have the time - then try and save it - as tim says - there isnt many left these days

[samfc3s]

A nice EGI i will say around 1.5k  ? thats what usually they are goin for as a ok conditon TII go for around 2k

[hawker182]

Yeah puts me in a dilema really. Think i will def have it off the chap as he dont know diddly about these cars and thinks its dead beyond repair but i know its savable. Just space really, only have 1 driveway space and 1 garage. Mrs uses the drive, TII in the garage. Will go have a chat with the guy and see if i can beat him down even more, then decide what to do with it i guess. Either way benefits me, but would be a shame to destroy it, thinking maybe a daily runner for me if its ok when i get my hands on it.

Stu - if all fails and it goes to the big scrapyard up above then i\'ll give you a shout about the engine. Or i could MOT it tax it, get it running and use the money from selling it to get the TII really really nice. See my problem.......Watch this space lol :3Confused

[shaunwil]

yes please on the engine front

Been chatting to the guy and he says the rust underneath is BAD! so think i\'m gonna take it off him and break it, will take what i need for the coupe then offer it here in the for sale section as Breaking. As soon as it arrives i\'ll get some photos done and post them up in this thread.

PS- Will be a full leather interior going :mmmm and its in good nick from what i\'ve seen. No good to me as i\'ve got other plans for my TII.

Shaun watch this space. Cheers Adam

i will keep my eyes open to see if anything takes my fancy

[hawker182]

Sure we could come to some arrangment....wink wink

I\'m looking for seat runners - drivers side

[hawker182]

Quick update, car is now mine, just sorting out its delivery. Soon as it arrives i\'ll post some pics and get it in the for sale section as \'breaking 1990 EGI\'

Anyone wants to mail me in the meantime, then aj.extreme@gmail.com

[grinder]

you have to work on the theory - buy cheap sell cheap

[hawker182]

oh yeah i\'ve brought it to get what i need really, the rest can just go to you guys who need parts. Plus it\'ll pay for my membership and hopefully give me a little left over to get the TII MOT\'d. Everyones a winner

[grinder]

i take it you bought the whole car just for the relay behind the headlight !! LOL

i know that shaun will be interested in the engine ( price pending of course !! LOL )
