My wife will kill me but, I have all the part to save this and fancy a toy! Missing G smiles.

i cant say ive seen it ever

[hayesey]

doesn't look familiar to me either, looks like a decent shell though. Save it Alan!

A starting bid of £500!!!
He's having a laugh surely? Broken windows, naff paintwok, the wrong wheels, no mot/tax or paperwork and an interior full of shit hardly make it a bargain.

Gearbox (if ATV) would be worth £150 or so I guess.

gave the chap a ring, basically the end blew up ( proabably piston failure) left at the side of the road for 2 days untill tow sorted out and the windows where smashed andsome tried to steal the charger! everything bar charger and block is included so not to bad, the owner of car is the brother of the ebayer and hes  had the bbs wheels.

I am tempted to safe it as I am looking at a 1.8 T based project car for the future so it would make coudl use of my big heap of g40 parts.

personally its easily worth £500...

I would love to get this as i have a spare engine in the garage and its probably worth saving as long as the chasis is in good order and theres no rust under the battery tray... but then again im not finding enough time to get on with my baby let alone taking on another!!
