thanks for the heads up,
ok so lets change tac here and ill explain whats the problems and then you tell me what you think its worth,
i dont want it to be a for sale thread and won't accept offers posted here, but i want to just weigh stuff up, and the way its looking is, id rather and sadly get rid of it for far less than id like. but if i can buy a ford focus (yes i know!!) and get a good 30mpg then id save up till winter and get a 1.9tdi fwd or quattro.
SO
from the inside
the aluminum trims are tatty, no idea why but there are pit marks like some one attacked it with a pointy screw driver
the seats and other interior is spot on for the age, no rips or marks ,
the clocks are good, but the dis does have lines, and unless you recognize the symbol its hard to tell
had a new window screen, bit irrelevant but means it has no stone chips or marks
so on the outside the bonnet has stone chips and ive tried to repair them best i can, the near side, side of the bumper got a scrape its not that bad but would require rubbing down to be 100%
there are marks round the car and the edges of the handles have corroded a little but nothing major, the bottom of the boot has some strange paint crazing going on, almost like old porcelain,
lights all round work, and are all good,
the engine bay, in very good condition, starts and pulls well. does need a clutch, which is very strange as some days it grips and is like a rocket and builds boost to 18psi. other days it starts slipping at 10-12 psi, but is perfectly drivable other wise, i do have a smf set up but need finalising with the flywheel machining to accept the larger cover
the abs module was dead when i bought it, maybe my biggest mistake,
any way so recently i bought a known working module and it worked for 5 minutes before shutting down. so no idea there
underneath the body is solid, not a spot of rust,
has a 2.5" s/s exhaust that i made and it sounds really nice, not loud but does have a nice tone to it. i also have a 3" decat,
so the things i know are it needs a right front arb link. as the rubber has broken away from the tube that sitting inside it,
theres a little squeak at the back, i can only imagine this is a top mount, but i only hear it when i drive slow and im going over bumps as i enter my road,
also to note it has ap coilovers, that was meant to have had new seals before i purchased it, also has rs4 alloys one needed a cap as it went walkies.
also to note it had new brembo discs and pads all round 15 months ago and new rear bearings 4/5 months ago.
so worth £500 or maybe even more?
