Mk1 breaking advise

Post by Scooter »

I've extracted the engine and gearbox from my recently aquired mk1, stripped the interior and side skirts, fuel tank etc.

I've kept some obvious bits (engine g/box rad etc), but i don't have a great deal of space and so i was wondering what is worth keeping and what isn't (mainly switch gear, and electric motors).

Just thinking that some people here might know what bits are more prone to failing or are more rare/valuable and therefore are better to keep hold of.

most bits of interior, any good body panels. Mechanical parts in good working order. These are all worth keeping. If you are looking to sell on ebay then you'll make a tidy sum if you price wisely and compare your parts with others. Always a good market. :wink:

If you want quite a cunning filter for MR2 parts on ebay to do research, PM me, as I get really annoyed with the number of mugs/stickers/keyrings/paperweights/decals/tribal stuff there is so, I'm always adding to the filter.

Cheers,

Any body panels in reasonable condition will get a few quid on ebay - windows/sunroof too.

Switches, relays, lights ( especially working headlights ), dash, instruments - even daft things like doorhinges will sell at the right price.

Cheers everyone,

TBH i won't be ebaying anything, i'm just trying to have a supply of backup bits for my car, but don't want to keep things that never (rarely) break.

Sadako, its a B but it had an aftermarket stereo, so i'm not sure if the surround has been 'modified' ....i'll check for you.

Cheers, I'm running an aftermarket stereo but I managed to get the thing upside down when cutting the hole for it x_x If yours is modded it might be the right way.
