Ive had a 1995 24v 4.2 manual gs in moonglow pearl for the last 5-6 years. At around the start of the year I also picked up a 94 4.5 jdm petrol as a donor (vx limited spec). Started stripping a few bits off the donor, and around the same time the mot expired on the gs.
A couple weeks later, the bargain of the century 97 24v manual Amazon came up locally on FB marketplace for a price i couldn’t say no to.
So now I have 3 trucks on the driveway. All the nice bits I was going to transfer onto my gs are now going onto the Amazon.
I’m left with the dilemma of what to do with the tatty gs. It needs wings repaired and painted (see my thread) tailgate and a couple other bits sorted before sale. Mot shouldn’t be a problem.
But my Amazon needs a front diff, lockers and a couple other bits and expensive pieces.
I could probably sink 1k plus time into the gs to have it ready to sell. And to get what? I’ve seen prices of everything plateau and sit on the market for weeks. Especially selling things here in NE Scotland.
Say for arguments sake I get £7500 for it. I might be better off making money breaking it and then saving money on buying the parts I need for mine. Buuuut I’ve been surprised at the lack of sales I’ve had from the petrol breaker.
How much does a 24v engine and manual box go for hmmmm…..
