thanks

to be honest they are not worth much even with a high mileage engine let alone a blown one, ive seen them with high mileage going for around 2.5k

[stichy]

so 1.5k? maybe abit less

[Jit]

between 1 and 2k depending on mods id say

[stichy]

its a standard car, apart from wheels

[AshRX]

looking at around 1k

There is one for sale round our way with waterseal failure on twins and its up for £900

[stichy]

i think this one has water seal failure,its my mates car,
when it was used 2+ years ago i p*ssed out water from the bottom of the
engine, the car has been sat in storage ever since

[AshRX]

wont be worth a lot now

Sad truth now with the FD\'s

[Aubec]

I\'d break it for parts - if you sell it for a grand that\'s all that\'ll happen anyway - just that someone else will be making the £££s.  Just take a look at the For Sale section and you\'ll see how much people will pay for pretty simple bits like door handles, switchgear, never mind the rats nest etc.

its a shame they go for ford escort money even with a water seal failure! would it not be worth getting it checked to see if thats the problem and buying a seal kit and having a crack at doing it yourselves, enough people seem to do it now! but if is housings and rotors that need replacing it gets alot more expensive!

[Clarky]

Have you any pics, might be interested

[RobbieRX-7]

Waterseal failure is internal. You wouldn\'t see any leaks outside the engine. I would suspect a broken hose myself. Does it throw lots of steam out the exhaust?

[leeroberts]

Hi mate would be really interested in this also if you have pics please email them to me lee070282@yahoo.co.uk or could you send me a number so i can contact you on

cheers lee

[stichy]

its not my car, its a car im looking at buying for a project.
so if migh mate does sell it, i would rebould the engine,strip+cage the interia
well i would go to town on it.
