As the title suggests I am considering parting out and wrecking my current skyline due to a lack of interest and the inability to get a good price on the sale as a complete item. I know each case will vary depending on the type of parts and quality but I am interested to hear from anybody who has done this and any tips and advice people have. Also keen to know how much money people have made and whether it is/was worth the time and effort? I dont want to have to pull my pride and joy apart considering I have been building her for over 6 years but it seems that this is the only way I can see myself making more money than the offers I recieved and what I know she's worth! Opinions and advice please :)

thanks in advance

Hey dude very nice ride, It would be a real shame to see it parted out although there is not doubt you'd get money more in parts, although it may take 6 months to a year to sell everything...

Have you tried advertising it on carsales or ebay? quite often you will get a more serious cash buyer through those avenues rather than forums...

Thanks for ur response. Yeah tryed those avenues but still no luck and I would not part with it for less than 10k so I rekon I can get more than that in parts. Also tired of being screwed around. I think selling parts would be alot easier than selling a car in the current economic climate. Been building it for 6+ years so another 6-12 months wont hurt. Well I shall see what other people have to say and will make a decision.

Have you wrecked a car or know someone who has corin? any advice?

      You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
