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.

it needs new gear box..and loads of bushes and engine mounts....and we cannot afford to fix all that  :cry:

/\ That is a particularly nice looking car too.

It doesn't look like your car has the plastic arches too.
no the plastic arches were taken off and marks polished out :)
