is this over priced

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

i went to a local scrapyard yesterday and he had a back axlewith diff for a mk5 cortina a front xmember suspension power steering (no pump or pipes) brakes etc £100 each

 

then another scrapyard has a 205 2.0 pinto in a trany pickup £100

 

what do you think should i buy any of them at that price

 

i actually am thinking of getting the pinto

[negri]

the pinto price doesnt seem so bad , as long as it was running .

 

no idea about the axle though

The axle No unless it's a H/D one with a 3.44 diff, power rack YES! fetch £150 on the bay

Tranny pinto, no unless you are planning to turbo it cos it will be low comp .

 

If you dont fancy the X member i'll have it, were is it
