Mean Green Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I recently bought a 200tdi project with the intention of putting it back on the road. But the rot on the body is much worse than expected and it will now be a donor for another project. This will leave a chassis ( probably a rolling chassis) - so the question is do I just scrap it or is it worth trying to sell - will have a v5 available.

SPendrey Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'd imagine someone with an aspiration to built their own will value it. The key question then becomes price and shipping. No idea what it would be worth in real (scrap) terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I was in the same situation a couple of years ao. I had broken a rotten bodied Rangey with a near perfect chassis. Do you think I could GIVE the chassis away? Don't hold your breath, I ended up weighing mine in. It just depends whether anyone happens to be looking when you are selling. Mention it on as many forums and FB etc as you can. Someone may crop up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks. When I do get round to stripping it - probably in about 6 weeks - the priority will be to get it out of the way as soon as possible to make space. So probably scrapping is the easiest option. In the meantime - if anyone is interested in a 1993 chassis with V5 - that will probably end up as a rolling chassis please let me know.

zardos Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 May be speak to Whitbread offroad (http://www.whitbread-offroad.co.uk/) as they do spaceframe buggies based on Discos, they might know of somebody wanting a chassis (depends on how good the chassis is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CSK Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 MG Is that the red one you got from the airport that you are breaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi Simon, Yeah, just needs too much work to put back on the road - mechanically it is 1st class, but body is let and truly rotten. So i have a new project which will need a few bits and pieces from the Red one.. but other than that it is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CSK Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Anything interesting on it? Or just the bog standard Disco. Remember all parts have a value it just depends on who wants what and when! (market forces) The chassis is worth more in bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Simon, it is standard. I will keep a stock of useful bits but the main thing that I will be left with is the Chassis, so will want to get shot of it to make space. just looking at options of selling it with V5 or just send to scrappy.
