As above really, pains me to see it go but needs must and ive lost motorvation to finish it.
Started out as a 1.2 Spi Merit plus.
When i got it i fitted the sr alloys and coilovers from my last project, stripped it out and ran it on the road for a while whilst i figured out what i wanted to do with it. The idea was to make it a track toy for me and my brother and it never really got past that stage. Drove it for a few years before parking it up to do some work and its stayed there since.
Ive just bought a new toy so the old one has to go.
Wish i could keep it but just dont have the space anymore. As its likely to be a project ill be as honest as i possibly can be about all the bad points.
Bad Points;
No T&T, should pass an MOT fine once a few included parts have been fitted.
Paint is not a good match with some faded panels, and some cheaply resprayed panels.
Rear arches need slight attention, driverside has some light surface rust showing but I sanded it back and primered over it to stop it whilst i was working out what i wanted to do with it. passenger side needs some filling and a spray job after someone kicked the wing in slightly (bloody vandels)
Back box needs changing after the last one broke off at the inlet pipe (I bought a replacement box but never fitted it so it is supplied with the sale)
May need new tyres soon and will deffinatly need a new front passenger tyre for MOT.
Not a complete interior as i was stipping it out. comes with front seats, front door cards and dash, as well as rear bench if you want to install it again. Includes all seat belts as well. Missing rear seat side trims as well as boot trims. headlineing is still installed.
Missing the key to the rear boot lock so have been opening it from inside (not an expensive fix but as said i just dont have the motivation to finish it)
Slight chip in windscreen but was an advisory on the last MOT.
Might need a new battery soon as the current one dosent like cold mornings.
some of the clips on the front bumper have broken off so it hangs crooked.
one of the alloys is missing a centre cap.
needs a general tidy up really as the paint is pretty poor, and the foam adhesive from the side rub strips needs removing.
Good points;
Besides the rear arches as mentioned, the shell is in great shape with no real rust problems inside or out, Ive included all the pictures i can to show how good the shell really is but if you want any more just ask.
had a new timing belt and water pump around 5k ago.
will come with two big plastic boxes of bits and pieces and spares for my old mk1 as well as the mk2.
Jumped it to see if it runs after 4 months of no use and fired right up, puring like a kitten. engine has always ran well, pulls good (for a 1.2) and no smoke.
Its a NOVA :D (wasent sure if this was a good or a bad point but you have to put it somewhere)
To sumarise it just needs a bit of attention to make it a cracking car, either putting it back on the road or making it into a track day car.
Any questions just ask, car is located in RH4 Dorking, Surrey.
Would like £450 but i know thats a lot so will take offers. its a complete car just needs some work.
pictures to come....
