Edited 11th Jan 2009:

Relucant sale (on my part ), not boosting properly (gets to 10psi and 'stutters' wont rev any higher then will give a big 'bang' out of the exhaust hasn't had a code reader put on it (and have got a new Phase sensor but not replaced yet) possible valve guides (although receipt for head rebuild at 96k before I bought it, but guide were not replaced according to receipt) I'd rather spend a bit and get it rebuilt, but may be easier to take a loss and sell it on... stil runs great and drives great - just puffs a bit of smoke when revved high (I've threatened J with not talking to him for putting it up for sale, but I think that made him more determined ) bird poop on the bonnet has caused a 'raised' mark in the paint where it was (will take pic later) rear door cards starting to 'stretch' at the top

do you have any kind of rough figure in mind???

 

See above

Had a lot of hear say ref what it could be, if a bit of money spent sorting the problem I think it'd still be worth it and then be able to command a price on the higher side of the spectrum, least you'd have a cossie you trust..

we dont really wnt to get rid of here but i cant justify spending anymore on her as she just sits in the garage most of the time ..

 

Get the head off it you lazy bastard!
I've already offered to buy all the parts, we got a great machine around the corner, I'd make sure it doesn't just sit in the garage now nothing to keep it coming out

Z

 

she has to go dont want her to sit another winter in the garage took her out today drives great still such a shame jason

 

nice car, if only this was for sale in a few more months time

 

mite still be jas

 

..

 

bttt for zo

 

jason! behave.dont sell it.

 

so its been up for sale for over a year and half???

Dont tell me it still has the boost problem?

 

its been for sale if someone comes along but he hasnt pushed to get rid.

 

cheers neil yeah enough is enough it hasnt been for sale for over a year it sits in the garage and goes no where got her out today due mot/tax and ins again done about 60 miles since last mot jas

 

so is it still the same circumstances or will a new advert be written?

 

you have pm

 

could do with a bit of clarity on this please.

is it still as it was?
is price still same?
is condition still same?

 

Wasn't for sale for over a year, this thread was locked in 2007 after deciding to keep - then yeah neither of us have touched it for over a year apart from to start it or run it round the block so the problems never been addressed, time goes so quick

I was too lazy to start a new ad so asked for this to be unlocked then edited the original posts - everything still as above - although Neil has made a very good case for keeping it again

Z

 

So you still expecting the same price ?

 

lol,maybe you are right zo.he does listen to me.christ knows why!

 

No, I've lowered it to £3,695. Only differnence from now and then is no tax and nearly no MOT
I think he needs to sleep on it really, would be hard to find another one as good unless you want to pay £5k upwards, I bet would regret selling, need to get our arses in the garage and fix the damn thing

I mean its not going to lose money just say there under it covers

Z

 

he would regret it zo.its in great condition and hard to find another as clean.it just needs the problem finding.wont take much

 

can i have a contact number very interested cheers martin

 

Is the car still for sale ??

 

Thanks for the interest Dearo, at the moment looks like its staying, I'll ask the mods to lock

Z
