weber carb from a astra mk2 , worth having?

[gav93]

there is a 1.4 8v astra mk2 belmont down my local breakers, with a brand new weber carb (forgot to jot down the details) on it is this worth having as i can get it with the inlet?

is this or anything sought after for the novas? as it is so clean will be a shame for it to get fragged complete .. which it will!

let me know guys im new to this old school vauxhall scene hence the question :)

Get it bought if it is cheap, should be the same as one for a Nova

[faker]

Most definitely get it in your parts bin, complete with manifold, engine too if your brave, but for the sake of 10 bolts you could take the head too.

[GRUNT 16V]

yep get it !

When you ask them how much they want, try to dress it down, like

"How much do you want for the carb off that old astra? I would like it for a spare"

[marc69]

take the mechnical fuel pump for me too please...it's two bolts!

[gav93]

well they want £50 dfor the carb and 100 for complete head!!!?? cant pocket nothing from there either haha, fuel pump they want £30 for think that ones going to the cuber :(

What a **** yard. lol

Surely a new mechanical pump isn't more than 30 quid!

[waggygsi]

surprised there not shut with prices like that lol

[gav93]

its so **** they always have the best cars in stock but at **** prices plus its proper hard to pocket anything small as you do! got 3 novas there again prices are ****ing high. oh well :(

[marc69]

that's mental, is everything brand new for those prices lol

I trip over a mk2 Astra 1.4 engine daily at my Grandads so if you want some parts I'll remove them and my prices are reasonable and there's a mechanical fuel pump on the shelf lol

[meritlover]

you forget that most breakers dont care about the price of spares. they bought them for less than the scrap value, so any parts they sell is a bonus. that's why theyre willing to chance selling it to you got a high price. if you dont want it then its no loss.
you can try and haggle, but if you seem too keen he wont budge.

I got offered full GTE interior and said no £100 and next day crushed lol
