It used to be petrol blue, it didn't need respraying, but some chav numpty decided to respray it in silver with rattlecans - I reckon it'd buff up OK, and does look fine from a distance. When I got it, the bonnet was half black, half burgundy and had pink Ripspeed pedals and the interior was half taken to bits. The starter motor was wired incorrectly and the terminals were half on and not bolted on properly (you had to stall the car to stop it) (all now fixed).
Engine was rebuilt a couple of years ago. It's a really decent car, from what I remember absolutely nothing was wrong with it mechanically with no corrosion at all (it's galvanised) and I reckon it'll pass another MOT no problem. 400 quid is a bargain.
Thanks Dave! I drove it until the MOT ran out after I bought it off you but then I couldn't really afford to run it as I had three cars at the time! So I sorn'd it with great plans for it. but due to other projects it got put on the back burner and now I'm skint...
Done a lot of work on these cars in my mecho past. Prone to front end prangs, damaged suspension and steering arms. A lot of parts on the early cars are Audi Quatro, from the spares bin!!
Very True DD! I was taking a risk with 99p! But know it's worth more than that! I'll be watching carefully friday night and Sat lunchtime (when it ends)
Exciting... I've never sold a car on Ebay before... just hope some wombat doesn't win it with no intention of actually buying it...
