Thinking of selling, what's it worth?

[Martin-t5r]

Hi all,
Thinking of selling weld in cage, in side a 850 r bare shell (ex Elliott), time constraints at work mean that I never have time to play with the volvo's anymore
Bought it off Elliot with the idea of building it back up into a beast but in stark reality all it's done is sat around.

Just wondering what the t45 multi point cage is worth to someone ? (Ideal to take cage out and re-fit into another shell) any ideas greatly appreciated, car does have a carbon fibre roof panel which I would leave in and would come with doors/glass
This isn't a for sale thread I'm just asking advice

Thanks
Martin

i be interested in the cage but im not sure what it would be worth!! would be a lot of work to chop it out and put it in another? if its welded in and one peice then im sure its not just a case of popping it out lol.

would it not be worth selling it as a complete shell with cage intact?

[Martin-t5r]

Yes it would be sold as a complete shell with cage intact, I thought about chopping it out of the current shell, cutting along the welds in 3 or 4 places, flange it, then would go into another as a bolt in cage possibly. I just havnt got the time to take any kind of project on anymore

i think it'd be better to fit all the removable panels (wings, doors, bootlid, bumpers etc) onto the caged shell & get the welded panels (rear quarters) painted to match. Then fit all your running gear to that

I do have most panels, from the car but it's a shade a salmon pink, not the rich red it once was. This was how it looked inside

[theflyingbrick]

well the colouring is irrelevant as im looking to repaint mine anyways,but that is one sweet looking cage,do you still have the seats??

[Martin-t5r]

Yes I do have the seats they are currently in this, which has not turned a wheel in 18 months, and I'm not exaggerating. Criminal really 19t freshly forged engine less than 1500 miles on it, Quaife etc. no time to use!
