I bought a Statutory Write-Off at a salvage auction. I had the whole thing stripped in three weeks (wife imposed limit) and got close on half the auction cost back by selling the unwanted bits on eBay. There are quite a few items other than the engine and gearbox that can be used, e.g. loom, ecu, diff, emission gear, cats, brakes, including booster, pedal box and master cylinders, even fuel tank and filler hoses Lots of stuff that are often a hidden cost when trying to work out an initial budget.
Go to a couple of auctions where they are selling what you want (or register on-line) and see what is the going rate.
