It's an early 1.6 with reasonably heavy rear end damage but runs and drives but is nowhere near being repairable. The black cloth seats are pretty much perfect and the wheels are standard with mixed budget tyres. So, what else is worth saving before it gets cubed?

Everything. You will be surprised what parts people will need & how much money you will make selling them.

Roof (if it`s any good), doors, wings, bonnet, bumper, engine, gearbox, diff, wheels, interior, lights, exhaust, suspension etc etc.

Or list it on Ebay for spares / repair & someone will probably pay about £300 for it as it is.

Many people buy damaged good running ones as a doner car for a kit car project .

Absolutely everything almost, given time. Wishbones would go for 100 for the set, he'll I'll buy em.

Makes it much easier for people to polybush you see....

Diff, box, callipers, everything i'n the engine bay, exhaust, lights, panels, roof, doors, doorcards, ecu, sensors, seats, tonnes of stuff to sell IF you have inclination, space and time!

Definitely all undamaged running gear. Those diffs, axles, gearboxes and the rear suspension are getting popular with the kit car fraternity and should fetch a good price.

Anything like lights that are easily removed and anything working in the engine bay are all saleable. Probably the same goes for the dashboard.

If the bonnet, doors and front wings are good they are saleable too. Even the windscreen.

If it's an Eunos Roadster anything Eunos specific will be desirable too.
