Possibly put the exterior back to factory if you can, sell those bits. Opens up the market to those that don't want a car that looks modified?

The main reason for breaking is the paint is shot.  A rear caliper burst spraying break fluid all over the car   :scared:

Based on what you've given us it's impossible to give a number. Get on the classifieds and facebook groups and look at what parts are going for, then total up a list of the sought after parts to give you a total.

You'll end up wit ha lot of car that won't sell (i.e., all the standard unsought after parts) and it'll take you months to recoup a decent return

maybe just sell the whole thing as spares or repairs. Depends if want the hassle of breaking it versus the ease of selling it as is.

If you do break it I'd be keen to know what goodies are on it, pm me if you do break.

I've sent the car to be wrapped and will see what it's like when it's back if I'm not happy I'll put it up for sale as a hole car . I should get ok money due to the milage and having fsh and pretty much every sought after mod . I.e new audi s3 ko4 and everything needed to support it ,s3 brakes coilovers with adjustable topmounts adjustable rear arms 19inch forged wheels carbon fro t wings mint inside and so on . I'm hoping it looks ok if not its going and I might put a mk5 gti engine in a 8L s3 so fingers crossed
