discotaz Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 im thinking of cutting my losses due to the extent of work required on the rear boot and all the suspension and bushes need replacing. So rather than that how much would the following be worth on a 145k 1994 disco 300tdi manual Engine - recent top rebuild 10k ago, HG, plugs, injectors, head skimmed, new belts, tensioners and water pump Radiator - 10k miles manual gear box transfer box front and rear props front axle rear axle seats, dash interior etc body panels - doors, boot, bonnet, glass, wings shell? chassis? ive also got the replacement boot panel and side bits and cross members if i can make back about 1500 from the parts i would probably break it.

disco_al Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 how much for the boot bits if you do break? (mine needs them) but why break? is it short of test? if not then just do a bit at a time, that's my plan. new suspension not long gone on, new tyres will be soon, then it's onto the welding once the weather brightens up. can the diff casings be plated, or source some 2nd hand ones?

sotal Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 It depends partly on how long you are willing to wait to sell the bits - how are you going to sell them? Ebay? If so don't forget the ebay/paypal costs. These are just my guesses: Engine £500 Rad £30 Gearbox + Transfer Box £100 Props £40 Axles £250 Seats - depends if leather or not presume not so £100 Body Panels??? £150 (no idea) Shell+chassis probably be hard to shift A few other things though is it 3 door or 5 door - sunroofs? What model etc. I've seen 95 Discos fetching £1600 for good runners so you'd do very well to get £1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discotaz Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 aye, some good points there, its a 5 door, mot is gonna be due at end of april, no a/c or sunroofs, grey velour trim. I reckon its gonna cost me about 1500 to get it to a decent state again, so just weighing up the options at the minute. I dont really want to break it as ive done quite a bit of work on the rear arches and body x-member already and did the engine rebuild last year. think its just the crappy weather putting a damper on my rebuild schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 think its just the crappy weather putting a damper on my rebuild schedule i know the feeling, want ot get my welder out to do some repairs on mine, but too damp/cold/miserable.

I'm driving the series at the moment as it's always too miserable to work on the disco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrfarmer Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 hi if you do brake it the engine will make more money selling it with all it's axliarys rad-intercooler,fuel filter starter and alt ect ect. I broke my old disco 2 years ago i didn't use ebay, i made £750 but didn't sell the chassis but i was happy as i only payed £500 for it.

landyash Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Ok, you would sell lots of items very easy if you decide break it Engine but must be complete with rad turbo inter cooler etc, would sell for any thing between £600 to £1000. manual gear box £100. transfer box £100 front and rear props £15 each. front axle £100. rear axle £100. Then sell the rest has job lot for around £200 to £400. seats, dash interior etc body panels - doors, boot, bonnet, glass, wings shell? chassis?
