Sure you wouldn't ask if you weren't planning on selling. Put it on ebay and let the market decide.
-
Not the cleanest 8v and it has too many doors. It has been modified. If you want more that 1000 I would put back as much as you can to oem. The interior could do with a solid steam clean and the engine bay tidied up. I don't watch enough through to competition but some sell for 300 and others are up for 2k. Not sure if the more expensive ones ever sell though.
Don't expect to get anywhere near what you spent on it, lots of the things paid for are just straight up maintenance and are what's to be expected. The only way to see is to shop around and put it up for sale.

Would definitely get a wet-vac on the passenger seat and the rear bench. Also don't think the air intake and de-badge grille combo is doing the car too many favours.

I used to have a similar car, albeit not really modified.

I sold it for £1050.

If its never had any welding then iit'll merit a decent price but more emphasis will need to be attached to this. Pics of the flloorpan and sills etc. It's ultimately what buyers are looking for these days and will dictate it's real value regardless of how it looks.
-
No welding has been done, floor pan is clean no holes. It is very solid, no previous signs of filler, welding etc. i admit the pictures do not do it justice. The interior is being valeted. The grill will be back to standard as this is not my preference either.
