I have for sale a 89 G-Registration Nova GTE, I bought it in April 2001, at that time, the Tax and MoT had just ran out, no problems I thought, ill just get them done as well as four new tyres, the tyres are the only thing the MoT will fail on, the car is in perfect condition, and I have spent the last two years keeping it very clean and well looked after!

But because I cant afford the insurance, I am trying to sell it, I paid ?1400 for it and have spent about ?200 on it, new battery, plugs, fuses etc! It had 86, 806 miles on the clock, and in the past two years, I have added 1 more mile onto it!
The problem is, the price I wanted for it has dropped a lot, and I can not accept less than ?900 for it, aragorn suggested that I sell it has parts, this is what it has if I was too, if anyone would be interested:

Rear: Standard Factory Colour-coded Drums, Servo Master
Wheels and Tyres:
15'x 6.5' TSW Avus-R Alloys ET49
4 poor condition tyres due to previous owner, I stated I was going to buy new, but I quit work so I couldn't afford to replace them!
Spare: 15'x 6.5' TSW Stealth Alloy
Bodywork:
GTE Front and Rear Bumpers, Rear Boot Spoiler and Side Skirts
GTE Front Grille Frame with Custom made Mesh Grille
M3 Mirrors (I also have Standard Wing Mirrors)
Saxo Boot Spoiler (unfitted)

Maystar S15-25 Movement Detectors
New Re-Mapped Central Locking System with new Solenoids
Spare Ignition Key, Boot Door Key and Fuel Cap Key
Performance: 105bhp
Top Speed: 120mph off the clock
But as I cant sell it, aragorn gave me the idea to take the car to my brother, and drop in the 2.0 8v Astra GTE engine he has (also for sale) that way, we might get a bit more money for it, we also have the ECU and Injection System, but that is it!
But the work would involve the MoT first including new tyres, then keeping the Nova driveshafts and outer joints but replacing the inner joints for Cavalier big block 1600s, then to replace the wiring loom and ECU for an Astra GTE one, but we did not keep it, as well as that, we would have to replace plugs, leads, gaskets, and lets be forgetting to seam weld the bay and move one of the engine mounts, then we would have to buy a 2.0 outlet manifold!
It seems a lot of work for me, as I have never done it before, my brother has worked on cars, but nothing like this, but I reckon we could do it!
So to be for sale would be:
1.6 8v engine (with new plugs and K&N)
F13 Gearbox
Wiring loom and ECU
Inlet and outlet manifolds
PMC Exhaust
Brake Callipers and Discs
So what I want to know is, would you buy my car as parts, as a complete car as it is now, or buy the car once we have dropped in the 2 litre?
