taking the engine out of the vtr today but its high mileage.
do i sell it with 100k+ for next to nothing, or is it worth rebuilding it and trying to sell for a decent amount?
anyone think theres demand for a rebuilt 90bhp vtr engine? or will no one pay £200+ for an 8v?

Just take the money.

I presume you are doing a Vts convertion

i am indeed. id fully enjoy doing an engine rebuild though, i love working on cars but im not sure if id end up loosing money because people would rather pay a fair bit less for an 8v with 100k, then im just either stuck with an engine in the garage or ive wasted a big chunk of money

keep it until you can get the right price for it. theres bound to be someone that will pay the right price for it.

Keep the engine to 1 side then if the vts goes wrong you have a spare engine.

sell it for nuthig if anything goes wrong u can get another for nuthing anyway costs a fortune for the rebuild parts and its money better spent on your vts.

Nice one pal, get a progress thread up!

I really liked your old one, even looked good with a wiper lol

I have a 3 plug 2002 Vts (my second Saxo after a couple of brief flings ha) if you need a look anytime give me a shout.
