Or sell it for spares, cut the body up for crash repairs etc. wouldn't be surprised if you got your 2.5k and a bit more back that way.

How on earth can you tell what the chassis is like??
A new plastic screen: £600?? You sure
Carpets: Will they not clean??
Engine REBUILD??? Why?

Well spotted.

I rekon thats why it is at the scrappy.

That's nasty. I hope someone pays 5000 for it, mine might be worth something then, lol. That is a total restore by the look of that chassis, underneath must be even worse, only an expert should by that.

If the scrap dealers kept out of the bidding,and she went for whats shes worth approx £800,she would be worth putting the money in to bring her back to life.

Unfortunately all that is happening is, the Chims are getting rarer like the Griffs and the prices will go up for decent models!!
