It was a rev2 UK car originally which has had several parts from a rev3 NA uk car which had covered 80,000 miles fitted:
Rev3 Engine/ancilleries
Rev3 rear subframe
Rev3 brakes all round
Rev3 shocks
Some of the rev3 bodywork
(I have no idea why! Would've been better left all green)It currently has very nice lightweight compomotive 16x8 front wheels and 17" speedline rear wheels fitted, but I have 2 brand new compomotive wheels to fit which are included with the sale.
They are 15x7 so these would go on the front and move the front wheels to the rear, with these wheels in those sizes the thing would handle amazingly well. However the two new wheels are white so one pair would need refurbing to match the other.Work done just before I bought it:
new drop links all round
nearly new front topmounts
tein lowering springs
new front discs
& padsnew hand brake cable
Other good points:
recent clutch by mr-twos
rev3 rear lights
tubby engine lid
leather seats in good condition apart from the drivers bolster
UK car so cheaper insurance if you go for a tubby/v6 transplant
It obviously needs a respray and either an engine rebuild or replacement, but is a good straight rust free shell for a project.
The engine starts and drives but there is a nasty knocking sound (from the big end) so it is obviously on the way out, but should still last a while yet for moving around etc. There is also no exhaust fitted so the car would need to be trailered away even if it's only a short distance.No tax, I cant remember when the MOT was due as it is in the glovebox and I cant get to the car til monday but I have a feeling it was around Oct-Nov this year.
It is in good condition other than the engine though and I can't see it needing anything else to get it through an MOT.I'm after
£450 ovno - it is probably worth nearly double that in parts if you wanted to make some money!I have had some offers but nothing high enough, if I can't get close to
£450 I will be breaking it.
