adarmo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) I had intended to build my Supra into a V8 but that isn't going to happen so I've currently got a complete facelift Supra with minor damage to NS wings and missing : gearbox, diff, brakes and suspension. So can anyone tell me what this would be worth ? I suspect it's worth far more in parts but it seems a shame scrap an otherwise good car. Whichever way I go I'll put the relevant ads in the Classifieds but as the National meet is a Wroxall Abbey which is within 5 miles I thought I'd better make me mind up asap Equally if anyone knows of someone with a damaged Supra I'd happily make one good car out of the two.

Mike2JZ Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Got any pictures of it? Condition of underside etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adarmo Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 I can dig some out, this isn't a sale thread so just in general terms is a Supra that's missing the bits I listed worth £500, £1000, £1500 etc I can see what bits and bobs fetch in the classifieds but I haven't seen any incomplete or damaged cars for sale (otherwise I'd have bought one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adarmo Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Here are some pics when I was using it I removed the awful bodykit and bought the parts required to put it back to standard but never got the time Edited July 11, 2016 by adarmo Formatting (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Jesus, thats in quite a state, dented rear arch to, if i was going to buy it id pay £600 tops, rekon you could get £800 from the right buyer though. And that would be with the engine and box - running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Yeah right - manual box conversions start at £1000 - I'll buy as many as you can supply. You say the underside is "mint", I assumed you mean it's in good condition as one persons version of "mint" is usually very different to another This is why detailed pictures are good. Also you haven't said what box is fitted or confirmed the milage. I think you have also answered your own question though, it's going to be worth more in parts.

JasonR24 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 So it's just an engine and a shell? Tough one as condition is everything with these cars. This one looks a bit worse for wear so I wouldn't expect anything high tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hello. I'm interested in buying this. Can you pm me a price please? Also Appoligies if I'm late in replying as I'm Abroad on holiday at moment with the wife. However I'm very keen on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one looks a bit worse for wear so I wouldn't expect anything high tbh. As I said I suspect it's worth more in parts I just need a baseline to work it out - obviously there's the hassle of removing parts and posting too so if it's £800 shell V £1000 parts I'd still try to sell the shell. When I bought it I had a mate who was going to respray it at cost but he changed jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parm_93 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If you do sell let me know, I'm just down the road from you, another project . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adarmo Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm definitely selling - too many projects myself - the only question is whether it's in one go or in parts Std front bumper (not pictured) Bonnet doors facelift interior facelift lights engine rear bumper rear hatch dash headlining etc Suspension arms, shell, loads of electronics etc So easily £1500+ in parts So if as it stands I'm told it's only worth £600 then I'd have to break it.

Mike2JZ Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'd take the engine and interior out and sell the rest as a shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adarmo Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'd take the engine and interior out and sell the rest as a shell. I suppose the main issue is I don't know what people do with Supras, RX7s and MX5s I'm aware what people want - ie complete shells to drop an LS engine in. Engine £200 ? Interior £200 ? Shell ??

Engine £200 ? Interior £200 ? Shell ?? Pricing on the shell is entirely dependant on the condition of it. It's very hard to pluck a number from thin air. I've seen shells go from £150 all the way to 2K+. So there is a broad spectrum of possibilities. If you want some proper opinions on the price of the shell, get some proper photos documenting the condition of the underbody/suspenion/body panels/engine bay etc. If that's too much effort, then just set a price and hope it does the job Edited July 11, 2016 by Mike2JZ (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
