How much is it worth thread

Sad day for me today after owning my Renault 5 turbo for over 10 year and trying to convert it into a mid engined car 4 years ago i have now give up on it, i need the room and money. I have a friend who will be buying the car and parts but im not sure what to do with the engine, its a 6000 mile MG ZS 2.5 V6 which i have mated to an audi A4 gearbox but i have also modded the loom so its not much good for a replacement engine if the loom is needed. I also have the ECU and Matching alarm box and remote.

My question is what do i do with it? are these worth anything or should a give it to the guy who is buying my Renault 5?

Help!

its very small and light, 180 bhp and 190 pounds of torque. Better breathing will bring it up alittle.

i just didnt know what i should do with it. Its in the way and i dont want to give it away if i can. (cost me £1000 without the audi box or clutch when i got it)





Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.
