How much is it worth..
« on: December 30, 2009, 10:46:25 pm »
Guys how much would a bare g40 block and head beworth with no history? also how much are the g40 gearboxes worth without history too? Someone offered me a car just seeing if its worth the money as theres no charger or brackets and the interior isnt even worth burning...no arch trims either.

not sure on those prices if the engine has an unknown history, unknown mileage too?  I paid £50 for a bottom end with unknown history and unknown mileage.  

Box is probably worth £100-£150 although unknown mileage and history puts a big question mark on that too.

It's a bit of a risk if you don't know if the engine & box are any good or not.  The car would need to be pretty cheap.
