mantaboy89 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Some of you on the forum maybe familiar with this car, was known on the forum as Vienna, just gauging interest right now as I am thinking of selling it, it's a 1.8s fitted with a 2.0seh engine (re-con motor from Vauxhall) less than 7000 miles., head has had work, ported and polished I believe, r1 carbs, big disc conversion on and rear disc conversion. AVO adjustable shocks and lowering springs, braided hoses, Ashley exhaust, 1.8 dizzy, gte interior and airdam front bumper, brand new rear spoiler fitted, and brand new bumper in primer ready for paint comes with it, car has been stored in my garage an used only 10-15 times since I bought it in April, loads of receipts with the car, approx 170 bhp and does 15.5 second quarters at 90mph on shit tyres. Handles great, drives really good, any info or photos can be emailed. If I am to sell it next month it will come with 6 months tax and 6 months mot. Body is in very good condition, few slight blemishes in paintwork but car is solid with pretty much no rust or rot apart from o/s/f wing but can supply a replacement wing. Asking £2000 ono. Open to px on other classic Vauxhalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantasrme Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ian should be picking this up just as soon as he can get up to you Which i am looking forward to as it will be coming to me shortly after that for a little tweaking (and i may have to test drive it a bit ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantaboy89 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 What's th plan for it then? He said he is having some done to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Nothing really major, mostly just a few creature comfort upgrades for him. It'll get a power steering kit, alarm and central locking (as he lives in Newport ) He also wants a decent stereo and some speakers as he likes loud music. Might sort out the bonnet painting and any other little bits. Possibly a set of quad lamps If he wants them Might find him some 15" alloys Apart from that i'll just go through everything and make sure its Ian proof (he's not that mechanically minded) So a full service and probably several test drives, just to make sure its reliable Then put a box of spares in the boot with fuses,bulbs,coil,my phone number etc etc as he's a long way from me to fix the little things Other than that we'll have to wait until i see the car in the flesh again and go around it, i know most of what Joe did to it which saves me doing the brakes and suspensions etc. I will also take several pictures of it and start him a topic on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantaboy89 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Car has been collected tonight and gone to a good home, look forward to seeing what gets done to it along the way. Shame to see it go but need the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fish Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Well if it stays in Newport... there are plenty of us locally to help out with the little (and some big) things... He needs to get joined up to the club (if not already) and get in touch with us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
