try t cut lol
i opened the boot and it fell apart in my hand slol, and shortly after that pic was thaken the drivers door started to seperate itself from the car lol
bit like my old nova!!
are you going to bin it then
just a little dead lol
Rat look...
one word.......DONOR
Seriously dave mk1 gte's are now rarer than the proverbial. Why not post pics on mk1oc and see what you can salvage for them guys.
Those seats are well comfy, i bought an old opel kadett sr a while back most comfy seats ive sat in i think! Put em in your nova
Took the words right out of my mouth. I've seen VWs on the road in worse condition than that lolQuote:

Although I do want the headlamp washers! :D
would that be the 18E head?
amazingly it runs lmao. had the whole engine reconed a while ago. i want the washer jets aswell to flog on lol.. as i know they fit a mk1 bumper
they're similar recaros to what were fitted to my manta gte... comfy as and so supportive. far better than the nova gte/gsi seats.
i just sold mine, guy got a bargain :(
nope.. only one on the yard.. so wil probs be going round the back in the private breakers bit :thumb:Quote:

its a crying shame its ended up like that, but it'll have some good parts on it still surely
well.. the whole rear drivers 1/4 has rotted away, literally, the bonnet is about th snap into a thousand pieces, its truley a rot box, chassis is very close to snapping, the scrap yard even scared of lifting it up incase the roof seperates from the car lol
must be worth a bit for the engine, isnt that the dizzy you need to find to run bike carbs etc on an xe?
abit of T.L.C and it would be back ot new. some time on the bodywork(5 years) then some elbow grease and a buff it will be as good as newlol
If/when you do, let me know. I'd be very interested in buying them off you :thumb:Quote:

are the seats worth anything? and will the rear seats fit a nova?
Dave, can you salvage me the airfilter box please cheif :thumb:
Ive sold worse haha
it still gets me nostalgic, I owned three mk1's.. If anyone finds a decent mk1 estate, let me know cos I've always thought it would make a fine pickup conversion, & the big block engines fit in really easily.
Is that a GTE??? and INJECTION??
Whatever gave you that idea lol
a pressure wash and a T cut it wont look so bad. then carpet shampoo the interior and it will not be looking so bad. you are so quick to judge this poor car. i think it should be saved from the nasty scrap yard and go to someone that is has nice feelings and sympathy for such an old classic car. that is indeed very rare and complete!!
i agree it should be saved and also if i had the space i would be on the phone now love mk1's im sure you have space dave
Looking at it i highly doubt it could be saved...
Parts however are going to be very useful for some mk1 owner.
that poor car. always loved these but i think that one is abit to far gone to be saved
How easy is it to get replacement panels for these nowadays?
you cant really my brother is struggling to get parts for his
why didnt you tell me about this dave my bro still needs a few bits which scrappers is it in
haydock one damo
id say the arches and things woud be worth a few bob. have them seats in my nova! there the same seats as mantas just different material/pattern, i fitted mine using manta subframes and a lump hammer!
dave whaats the deal with the engine?
Do they sell full cars carl he his after buying it lolQuote:
