Without a doubt it could. I`m only going to take the parts I need then make a decision on whether to do something with it. No parts are for sale though. Thing is they are not hard cars to come by. There are always a couple for sale .

I want a 1972/3 FE VX4/90, now that's a rare beast and worth only a few grand at best

Would you sell the remains of the car after you had all the parts you need off it?

I don't actually need that much from it, I`ll be starting my other one shortly but want to use as much new stuff as poss and the old one as spares back-up for rare bits
