I have cash and trailer ready for the right thing.
Could you tell me a bit more about its history, how long youve had it, what youve done to it what your palns were for it etc.
Brief History.....(what I was told by previous owner) Was a tarmac rallycar, shell is a mk5 shell.....very little damage for a rallycar...there are a few little bits you can tell have been worked but it's to be expected. The shell was built into a roadcar by the previous owner...he cut out the cage and had a sunroof fitted (hence the removal of the sunroof and the reason it currently has no cage). I purchased a full car minus engine box and diffs.....I was intending to build a 2wd monster, but a business venture and loss of heart meant I had to stop part way through.
The roofskin looks a bit messy as I didnt have a brazing torch to remove the corner pieces still attached, also my spot weld drill gace up just before completing the job.....it's not a big job for a competent guy (I never saw it as a problem but I can see how it looks bad to the average guy).
The shell has ZERO concerning rust...the stuff you see is all surface and has happened over past few months in storage and the shell sitting outside over past few weeks.
I have the majority of a cage to go back in, tarmac suspension (remote res ledas), eccentric top mounts, rear billies, T5 boxes, gripper diff, compression struts, adjustable tcas, wrc spoiler, x2 sets 18 inch wolf motorsport wheeels (white set and charcoal set), flocked dashboard (dennis osbourne built).
If you can mend metal this is a bargain, I honestly can't believe it's still here at this price....would have taken me less time to plasma the wings off and gotten the pikeys to fetch the scrap than answering all the pm's and phonecalls....
If you have a trailer and serious about taking it....ring me (number posted a few replies up) and come have a look.
Cheers
Dan
