You wouldn't get much more than £100 as spares or repair as a whole car I suspect, maybe a bit more due to the parts, unless you find a person who wants all the parts you're selling.

Compare that to probably the best part of £1000 if you were to break it and sell it for parts.

time to break it up then   :grin:

/\ That is a particularly nice looking car too.

It doesn't look like your car has the plastic arches too.

Not that having no GTI arches fitted would mean it wasn't actually a GTI or Vento fronted Golf though..

I've got experience in breaking and trying to sell bits of the car. It's not as easy as it sounds, you'll have lots and lots of parts laying around for ages. The only thing that'll sell well is the leather interior, the alloys, VR6 splitter and some random bits like maybe an indicator or parcel shelf or something.

What actually needs doing? It may be something silly/easy/cheap.

That really isn't a Vento front end.
