Its hard to put up photos of all that has been done. If there are bits of the car you want to see, for example if you wanted to see the front suspension and disks then ask I will take photos of it.

 

Just let me know.

 

I put the one in with the doors off so you could see the seats I have put in there from the Alfa GTV.

I can see youve done alot of work and spent alot of money but...

....in my eyes its an unfinished project without mot. It needs work to finish which isnt mentioned.

It looks clean. 2.5k as is. Basis of that being 3.5 to 4k finished as a clean (not very modified) example. Never get back what you put into them.

It does have an MOT - I forgot to mention that.

 

I know it's not 100% and I don't expect to get all my money back but there's no way its only 2.5K as is. My opinion I know versus someone elses.

Ofcourse opinions. I myself, abit of a realistic. My valuations are realistic, what I would pay, what id expect it to sell for etc.

 

You may get valuations, as often happens on facebook saying its worth this amount, yet not a single person whos valued it for that amount is willing to buy it for that price. Ebay with a realistic reserve may be your best bet for a wider audience.

 

Unfortunately in my eyes, over £2.5k gives buyers alot more options, so your car as a semi project may or may not be desirable at that price range
