Mr30, What Parts Are Worth Selling

[noddle]

Hi,

I'm about the have my MR30 parts car taken to the wreckers, what I'm wondering what small parts are worth selling, the reason I said small, is that I live in Tasmania, so freights on larger parts would be to expensive.

I also may try ebay to sell some off it, but since I'm never sold anything on ebay, I'm not sure what the expect.

Hi Nigel,

Try posting a list of (both big and small) parts here, there could be some interest. Also, where are you in Tassy?

Well that's good, at least you're closer to the mainland than Hobart.

Post up a list so we can see what's on offer.

juast think of anything that can break, like all switches, handles, knobs.

all glass

lower control arms

panels

bonnets

dissy can fetch $200, Ti rims can get up to $60 each,

if the interior is NOT brown keep as much as you can.

Heater core is another item I have replaced

Handbreak cables sieze so keep them

the only problem it comes down to is storage of it all....

Like Mags said the Dissy is the big one. The big 15/16 master cylinder if it has rear disks. Rear calipers. Speedo cable, bonnet and boot cables all break. Engine timing cover if it hasn't corroded. Put the diff and half shafts away for a rainy day or a Tassie local. I've also replaced a heater core...

Remember auto and manual dizzy are different.

I've pulled the rear diff assembly (whole trailing arm assembly), front stearing assembly (including struts, brakes, power stearing box / pump), cross member, engine, badges, stearing colum, swaybar, and also got the master cylinder / brake boster

I'll need to get the locks, heater core, cables, tail lights / headlights, as for the pannel, I have no where to store those parts, It's a pitty since there is nothing wrong with them.

the dissy was one of the first thing I took, aswell as the whole EFI that I put into my 240K years ago (the reason on buying the car n the first place), but since moved onto Megasquirt

Hi Nigel,

You say panels are in good condition. Could you post some pics of the car please? How many k's on the clock? Auto/manual?

I'm interested in tie rods if the bushes are in reasonable condition. Maybe some other bits too.

Nigel,

Near on everything mechanical & electrical is good to sell. Ebay is a lucky dip, you can get a sqillion for some things and SFA for others and usually the opposite to what you are thinking. Genuine Ti rims are a good seller & for everyone out there Stewart Wilkins will pay reasonable dollars for all he can get. He uses them on Zed rally cars he prepares, as one car might go out with 4 or 5 sets of rims. Rear trailing arms, especially disc brake models are a good spare as they can get bent, fronts don't worry about as the new Taiwan option @ about $70 each is a better deal.

As has been suggested, put up a list of what you have or are prepared to pull off and let whoever pay the freight if they want it badly enough.

The guys on this forum know I buy near on everything R30 off ebay, that I don't have already for spares as the plan is for my PNV to stay in the family for generations to come. My 24yo daughter has already put her hand up for it when I'm dedd and I'm sure my son would do the same.

Cheers, D

John,

Just walk in to ANY of your local parts outlets, Autopro, maybe Repco, Auto One, Pep's etc etc and ask for MR30 front lower control arms and specify the Taiwanese Import and they will get them for you. I will post pics and part numbers on packs later when more time.

Cheers, D

Here's 2 pictures of what the body looks like, it is a Automatic, box is still in the car,

Dash has been pulled out, but is still sitting inside the car, seat are still in the car, drivers side runner were 'hacked' to fit something else, heater box still in car, less the copper pipes that connected to it. rear seat still in car,

all electrical wiring is missing, engine / efi exhaust, rear suspension , front suspension, cross member, brake booster, master cylinder all been removed,

If some one want some thing, and its worth my while to remove, I can, but be aware I'm in Burnie, Tasmania, so fright on large items will be a killer, and bits can get damaged in freights (like body panels)..

and I do work full time, so the week end is when I get stuff done.

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for posting the pics. Panels look good (and it's hard to find good panels once a car gets to the wreckers). I guess you already have experience with freight costs. I checked out some pricing. Pack-send was really expensive since they direct everything through Hobart! TasFreight quoted $135 per cubic metre (depot-to-depot Launceston to Melbourne, exc gst and no insurance) and then there's all the hassle of packing and transport.

(Still looking for tie rod ends).

cheers,
