how much is it worth?

my front rotor seized yesterday on my 1987 turbo 2, and im wondering how much I could get for it as is. just over 187k miles, engine miles are unknown. previous owner said he rebuilt it, but it was either not done right, or never done. I dont know what to think at this point.
the follow was done in the past 200 miles (since ive owned the car)
water thermo sensor
o2 sensor
spark plugs and wires
oil change and filter (needs new engine so this is useless)

mods include
cusco coilovers
front and rear cusco strut bars
personal wheel
fuel cut defender
hks bov
knightsport turbo
apexi filter
apexi exhaust
9lb flywheel
6 puck unsprung clutch
hid
short shifter
aftermarket stereo
boost gauge (auto meter)
s5 body kit (front and rear bumpers and side skirts

It has no a/c and no p/s but I have the p/s coming in the mail so that will be included, just not installed.
interior is a 8/10, but no rips or tears in the seats
exterior is 7/10 in my opinion, front bumper has a large scuff, sunroof has minor rust, and theres some paint chips, mostly on the wing.

A grand. If that. Sorry but a high mileage FC with a blown engine? Everyone and their dog has one. Trust me when I say this, if you have other means of transportation, keep the car and rebuild the engine. You'll be much happier.

Edit: plus all those mods decrease the value tenfold. Mods will always make a car worth less. It's hard to swallow but you will NEVER get back for what you put into a modded car.

I may get frowned on but ..Part it..sell the aftermarket parts,and then sell the shell.You will get more in the long run.
It may be a hassle to have parts layin around for a little while but they will sell.
..or..buy another engine..(like REA says!)

All mods were done before i got the car, so thankfully im not losing anything on those. Ive only owned the car a month and want to keep it but i just need something reliable right now. Thanks for the replies guys.
