Up for auction is my 8 year long RS Turbo restoration project.
It is 90% finished, it would probably take someone with a bit of enthusiasm and knowledge 4 weekends to finish it off to a working car
Or maybe 2 to 3 months to finish it off to a stunning example that I was planning on.
You can take a look at the full restoration thread of this car, and read the full reason at the end of the thread of why I am selling the car :-(
You'll be able to see that no expense has been spared on the restoration of this car !!!!!

I will post up the ebay link when the listing goes live !
The car has only ever covered 58469 miles, the body is 100% rot free, I don't have no service history or previous MOT's only the MOT I got for the car back in 2001, I used it for 1 year then took it off the road, as the gearbox was making a terrible grinding noise, it turned out to be the input shaft front bearing only. But I can assure you that the mileage is genuine, if you want evidence, I can show you the original gearbox input / output shafts of the gearbox, they are hardly worn ! Plus the body condition at present speaks for itself !
I have every part for the car that you can't see in the pictures , front seats , lights , indicators , airbox , heater fan and surround, and everything else that I might have forgot to mention
BUT here's a list of what the car needs in parts to finish it off ………
Airtec Alloy radiator, ( £200) ( Burton )
(I have the original rad – But not sure of what the cores are like after sitting dry for 8 years )

T3 compressor housing gasket - £8
Spark plugs - £10

Gearbox and engine oil – Price ???
Underneath of the bonnet needs a re-spray, but it's semi prep'd and primered ready for a final coat of diamond white
