I might look into a recon head, but think it’s looking more and more like the scrapyard.
If you have room break it yourself, you appear to have 8 panels at at least £100 each, a gearbox at £3-500, alternator, starter, rads and everything else around the engine at £50 a pop, EGR I'd look for more for, interior £300, Alloys £200 and then you'll get another £300 for the shell.
