Hey guys,
have been thinking long and hard about this and realistically realised that depsite my best intentions i am never likely to get my car back on the road,
its been of the road for 8+ years, has plenty of rot in the usual places, but to the best of my knowledge has never been welded, - not a lot of a strong point when it needs significant amounts of now!! its all there though, orignal downpipe to where the resonator should be - cut out when i caught it on the inlaws drive in the early 00's, currently resonator back has fallen off where the flexi has gone, i do think it would start with some fuel and a plugs cap clean and battery, std wheels in silver, currently on pug.1.9 gti speedlines, engine will need a rebuild, but was a good lump, 116k if memory serves, stacks of paperwork, quad lamps on with originals in the loft, have a spare head with bent valves, spare exhaust and inlet manifolds, spare octopus which it had developed a leak from not long before it came of the road,
now, if anyone would like it as it is that would be great, but am not adverse to breaking it, i know my location will put many off, i know in my heart i am never likely to get it going again,
my email should be in my profile, pm me, reply here or what ever, i am on facebook as Tim Phyall profile of my 2 girls,
i know roughly what its worth and a relative view of what the parts are worth so wont be letting it go for pence, but also not asking showroom condition for it!
