Time is up!
Due to two impending arrivals (one human, one mechanical) and the fact I don't have a spare second to fix her up, the GTE must go.
First things first. It needs work! Bought as a stolen recovered that had been stored in fairly dry conditions, the years have still not been kind. It needs:
Two outer sills, could get away with a few patches if you're that way inclined.
Ball joint fitting. Part is included.
Brakes bleeding
CV bootjoint fitting - again, the part is included.
Ignition barrel needs small bracket to secure it to the column - thought i'd ordered it and hadn't. About £2 from VX dealers.
The good bits now then....
All locks changed so it works on one key.
Alarm and immobiliser
New hood with working heated window, and matching cover.
No marks, tears, rips, burns or mould on seats. They're in really good nick, grey Recaro style.
Digital dash, all works fine.
New front brake pads/disks
Only 88k miles, drives extremely well.
Comes with MoT fail sheet so no surprises.
Needs some TLC obviously but mechanically it's really good, and the hood and interior alone are probably worth what I'm asking. It's a 2.0 8v, manual hood and windows, leccy heated mirrors, working headlamp washers.
Do I hear £250? Afternoons work with a welder and triple your money.....
