Or more accurately, fix it, then flog it, OR chop it into bits and sell it off seperately?

Been given a p-reg 3 door mk3 astra TD, engine has recently had the head done, but the bodywork is a bit battered (nothing i couldn't sort though)

Any idea what a 10 year old astra td is worth?

It's had a drag along the passenger side, which has been fixed (badly), and the drivers side has had a woman driver.

Been digging through the pile of paperwork he gave me and i've found it's still got MOT till the end of next month :eek:

So, wadda ya think, fix it, or chop it?
 
Put it through a test this morning.

Umm.

It's the first time i've ever had an MOT fail ticket have the "DANGEROUS" box filled in. :eek:
And the guy had to load a second red sheet into the printer to get all the defects printed out out :eek: :eek:

Might take a bit longer than expected .....

And i've already got a potential buyer for it ;)

EDIT

Just wondering if anybody knows if heater plugs die instantly, or "fade out"? I had to swap in another battery this morning to get it to start, the fact it was around 0c may have had something to do with it which is why i'm wondering about the heaters.
