   Yeah I was going to say, need to know where this scrappy is. £120 is more likely the whole damn car round here and thats if you are lucky

    Someone on here might buy the gearbox, if they fancy a bit of a higher final drive for spirited driving. £30 max for that I reckon if in good nick but engine is worth nothing really. You'd be better off selling the things like the rocker cover and ancillaries on ebay but you wont get much for a full 1.1 considering a VTR unit is between £50-100 for a full engine and box, and not much more for a 16v

    You'll be lucky to get £50 for an engine mate.
    Probably, about £40 for the gearbox.
    
    
    Gearbox will sell on saxP within days.
    Engines don't sell that well to be honest though mate.
