Go and ask your local wreckers what they will give you for your Telstar, then double it if it's a good running example. That is what any reasonable person would pay for it.

If the new manifold gasket does'nt fix it i'll give up and sell it for scrap.

We've still got the brand new 18inch wheels and tyres and BIG XPlod Amp and Sub Woofer we can sell too!!!

The bloody thing was running fine after i put the new fuel pump in and then it just shat itself???

Was hoping to get at least $600 for it as a running, driveable TX5.

Inlet Manifold gasket did'nt fix it.

Still starts but stops straight away.

Have given up......Not spending anymore money on it.

Took spark plugs out and took fuel pump hose off and cranked over to get the 10 litres of petrol back that I put in it.

Then took new fuel pump out aswell. (Hopefully can sell on Ebay as it's brand new?)

Also removed the Autotechnica Sports steering wheel. (Might be able to get $100 for that?)

How much are they paying for scrap non running cars these days???

Ended up getting $150 for it lol!!!

And the fricken indian tow truck driver offered me $100 only at first because i'd left the plugs out and taken the fuel pump out too.

They told me over the phone they'd pay me $150 so thats what i demanded.

And i told him the car was running and driving only a few weeks ago.

Then he put the chains on under the rear of the car and tore a big hole on the rear bumper.
