Cue WillB and Surferphil

Would of thought being a non turbo, not much more than 5k, if that at the moment ?

Assuming that you're paying the correct price for the car, in the first place. Your efforts will add about 20% of their cost to its value.

Make sure you check the underside for rot (especially the rear wishbones)

'project' N/A's go for anything from around £2k upwards with mint cars selling for around £5k

It all depends on what work is required.

Good luck

or £8000 ..
the red one on pistonheads sold for !!!

I certainly wouldn`t flog mine for £5k.
