Original engine available if interested Exhaust manifold gasket needs to be changed Ignition timing needs to be set On and off sticking throttle issue NeedsNew Radiator Fan (I have one here) General look over before MOT as it's been stood COMMENTS Bought in July 2008 Full service history Folder full of receipts including my £1,000 plus bill from Jabba Sport My current input into her is approx £4,000 Selling due to not being able to insure 3 vehicles and I want to tackle drifting, I can't commit to both with my budget so something unfortunately something has to give and it breaks my heart to be writing this for sale post My husband has tried and failed to help me fix it (I'm no good under a hood) and I can't afford to pay someone to fix her as the last person I trusted fitted and paid a lot of good money too, put the wrong spark plugs in her causing it to melt a piston. That was nearly 3 years ago this March!!! A shit time in my life back then, storage, keeping the pikey iron men at bay and having shit all money since then has kept me in this situation of not being able to get it going. I can't have it all, so she has to go. Ouchie. I would love to see her go to a good home where she will be given a good life and see the roads to meet that porsche again on the M5 Location: Castle Donington Trailer required to take home Currently SORN PRICE £2,000 without KW V1s £2,500 with KW V1s (will split from car to sell separately) Open to sensible negotiations and I'm only interested in px R32 No time wasters please. Thanks Dirrt p.s I am also selling my compo's, if anyone is interested please get in touch
I shouldn't have put these up really, sorry Mike. I will only be selling these if my G40 sells, if I end up keeping it due to non sale then I will want the compos for planned refurb. I'll let you know price if my G sells.
Ok no biggie. My mate has a mk1 escort with the same comps on and they're cool. He's building a 6n polo with a bike engine and I know he'd like the same wheels for that but it's a while off completion so if they come up for sale fire me over a price.
What are the specs on the comps? Also seeing if someone I know is interested in the car but I'm interested in the wheels.
I had them down as 7J - 165/55/13s but Mike seems to think they were 155/50/13s. Either way, they won't be for sale without the G40 being sold.
