I would say so! If it was a forged bottom end then maybe it'd be worth it, but it's not.

That front bumper reduces the value as well, IMO...

the car runs fine but there is a knock from bottom end at times, im sure its the big end bearings which would cost around £70 to put right if done yourself.

If you're lucky :P

£70!!! he has having a laugh. Will cost that for the crank grind alone. Chances are the mains will be well worn too, so they will be worth changing.

Had mine up for £2500 since Xmas and only got wasters offering peanuts so its off the market now, i'll keep it rather than sell it for what they were offering, mine has no running issues whatsoever, he has got no chance, realistically as it stands i would say about £1500-1800 to the right buyer that likes the bodykit, that knock could be anything, my thoughts are expect to replace the engine cheaper than getting all the shells done and the crank reground.
