Scrap value would be limited I'd say, the main thing it'd be sought after for would be its engine for Escort/ Cortina Zetec conversions.

Cheers, but the issue is that the cost of buying a used engine of unknown condition plus the labour involved would likely come close to the value of the car. I don't like the risk. No mechanic I have spoken to has suggested that an engine swap is a good idea.
