Frank Bullitt Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Find a similar spec on Pistonheads and go from there, probably best to ask this question and an RX forum to get a more accurate response. But if you are looking for my personal opinion very little as I think they are fugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 It would have to be an exceptional shell for that. I've seen many complete FD3s that need a rebuild go for circa £1k, complete with all the drive train, blown engine etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Really, it's a mint shell but has no engine n box bottom mark for me would be 1500 I'm honesty gutted bout selling it but I was gonna put a jz gte in it but my dads car has become available and I want it, il c what I can do either on ph or ebay possibley I think if sum1 was gonna track car it or put it back on the road it's got Mazdaspeed suspension too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 What year is it? I know certain years are worth more than others. Also, sentance structure, you know, punctiation, all that good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 *IF* you can find a good used rotary engine (yeaH, RIGHT...), it would certainly pay you to make it a runner again. Trouble is there are far more dead engines than dead chassis's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JnrEast21 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 i had the same problem mate... sold my old FD3S (mint condition shell, fully resprayed, 18s, nur spec r, etc etc) with a blown engine and only got £1500 for her good luck with the sale fella!

Which is why I think he'd get more breaking it. Send me details on the kit you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 rebuld the engine and fit it and a box then sell it as a runner mate. Shells are going cheap, you will be pushed to see a couple of grand for a rolling shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 i was gonna 2jz it an extra 5 grands a push at the mo as im buying my dads tt, who's a member on here wkD i think his name is on here,i did contact jurgen about putting another rb when it blew it up but that was nearly 2 years ago he did say he could do it back then, wish i had went ahead with it now, i think it might be worth contacting him about the engine again cos ive looked on pistonheads and they 2 on and they going for nowt, im not happy about losing so much money on a car that i hate because of whats happend with it, so i think my only option is to put a new engine in, thanks for your input guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
