Autocrosser Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi Gary, I did message him last night via eBay but he's not come back to me with condition or price but I'm after a decent n/s A pillar. Don't suppose you know what kind of nick it's in? Cheers Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autocrosser Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 If you could Gary that would be great. I'd hate to go through all the hassle and it turns out to be rotten. I'd appreciate someone in the know to take a look at it beforehand as he's gonna post it up to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny D114BCW Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hello all, i have been to see the hatch and that tonight. The story i was told was that the car was found in a council garage and had been sat there since 1992 due to having its rear window smashed and the owner couldnt find another (MENTAL), the owner said that it was their issue and they had to move it, so here it is. ITS TOO GOOD TO SCRAP, i arrived and the engine etc was out (but the guy even drove it in under its own power), the interior and wheels are off a gt/e hatch they are a little tatty but the rest of the interior is bang on. The chassis rails are mint and so are the inner wings and A post blah blah blah. The bad or should i say places that would require a tidy would be the two arches (slight rust but nothing bad) the bottom of the doors and the sunroof has Minor rust spots. I think the cill on the passenger side will need a bit of a patch. I have taken some pictures so will get them uploaded. The hatch is looking like its going to be cut up as somebody has offered £200 quid for the tunnel so uness somebody has a tunnel they could swap maybe?, then it curtains. This car has no doubt been dry stored, somebody must be able to save it. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymanc Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 i think he decided to break it before i called him last night , £200 quid for the tunnel can't say i blame him , bet he makes a few ££££££ in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymanc Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 hi craig the n/s A pillar was not very good ,as i put my fingers through this part picture of mine to show you were ( masking tape shows rot) i have bought the battery tray, front of inner wings both sides and a area around the fuel filler cap inner and outer i am going to collect my bits when he cuts them off , dont know when but let me know or the seller if you need anything as it will be gone soon mine and dans mint must be different as i thought its on the verge of rot problems well i did remove the wings and bumper so it was exposed , the carpet was still in and i think it would be grim once removed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocrosser Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks for that Gary but I think I'll leave it as it sounds worse than the one I've got! Cheers for looking for me though. Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymanc Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 no problem craig, its not that easy to check from inside the car as there is another bit of metal in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymanc Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 yeah dan bit of a shame to see parts going to crusher , would have had more bits but got enough bits knocking about. there were alot of time wasters and the guy did not come for tunnel and he wanted the car out of his workshop . anyway i don't really care as i got what i needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
