Kevin Abbott Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 There is a lot more missing than an engine and box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thought this could be one for you Kevin, Cannock is not extreemly far down the M6 and you must have all the missing bits. Does depend on the rust situation, it does mention the sunroof and judging by the yellow primer that is one area that has been given attension, if the quality of the repairs is good then this could be a good starting point for someone. Uncommon colour - Orient Blue which is actually petrol green ! The pictures turned vertical is a problem but i know this can be something that happens, you turn the pictures the right way in your computer, you send them to the post your making, then when you see the post the pictures are back in the original orientation and there is nothing you can do about it !

Kevin Abbott Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 A decent cih engine and box is now about 500 and it's missing a rad 100. airflow, loom and ecu 100. prop 50. wheels need burning for standard ones ( £10 in petrol ) Paint 1-2k No profit in a hatch worth tops 3.5k 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny D114BCW Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 They have gone up but still can't see £5000 in a hatchback unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have to add that I love hatchbacks before the hatch vs coupe war gets going 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have all the parts to put this back on the road, I just don't know if it's worth it. Paint is the major issue, plus of course how good is the shell and how well have any repairs been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller says they will text me a pic of the sunroof if I send them my mobile number. Will post it if they respond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Abbott Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) That's going to need a roof, a calibra transplant would possibly be wide enough to replace the rot or best bet a non sunroof hatch roof at around £100 for the panel Edited January 21, 2016 by Kevin Abbott options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yes agree it needs a panel...you could try and bog it but it wouldn't last long and would be a right pain to do if it's holed right through. Someone must have been using an autobidder as the winning bid hit right on the second the auction ended! or they have timed it to perfection unlike me with my fat fingers.
