starion 2.6 turbo project for sale (uk) - Drifting forum

downandoutvw · 24-06-2008, 14:22

hi folks, firstly i'd like to apologise that my first post is a for sale ad and i know i'm probably gonna shot round these parts for saying this but..... i'm not really into japs, vw's are my thing

anyway, i've got for sale a 1989 mitsubishi starion 2.6 turbo widebody, i bought it a couple of years ago with the intention of turning it into a track/sprint car but several other vw projects have taken over, so i need to sell her.

as you can see from the pictures the windscreen is smashed, it has rot on the n/s/r arch and the paint is badly chalked.
The body work can best be described as a bit tatty ! (front spitter and arch altho the rest is pretty straight) but the engine and box (manual) are solid, it runs really well and the turbo does not smoke. unfortunately i do not have a v5, as i was going to use it for track use only, so i wasn't really that bothered and i'm sure its not that hard to apply for a new one.

As you folks probably know, these cars come with an lsd as standard and i'm sure it will make a good project for someone or to break for spares.

the car is based in north devon and will obviously need trailering away, i might be able to help with this for fuel costs ?

now for another apology, i know i'm meant to give a price but i really have no idea what it's worth ? so i'd sooner put it on here for enthusiasts to judge rather than just put it on ebay !

so i really am open to offers and i can be contacted on 07790 664591, thanks for looking, Lloyd

well spotted ! it was one of the other projects that is now gone.... 1.8 gti, stripped and caged, kind of an '80's dtm themed project, not the best idea i've ever had to be honest but it was cheap fun !
