grant ill pop along with ya if ya need, if got quite good as cabrio spotting over the years

heres a thing ive found, the cabrio thats my colour seems to not rust, ive seen a few and non of em have rust on em , i dont knwo why as i dont look after mine as i washed my on sunday ( ok missus and her dad done it as he was ashamed it was near his house ) and theres no rust on mine still

check for the latch where the roof closes as they can get worn and on sliding on roundabouts the latch comes off

i also got a nice set of cabrio spares going for sale too, cabrio boot spolier, bonnet ect, well ya seen the aladins cave

I know 2 people with cabby mk4's for sale grant, one is an all blue ltd edition with an 200bhp rst conversion, cossie brakes,17's etc needs a tidy but has all the right bits on it

and a bloke round the corner has one std xr3i cabby....that electric blu colour, half leather, needs a roof and the lacquer is peeling so probably wants a bit of paint, but its cheap........body has no rot, engine runs a dream, unmarked battery area, will need a roof skin but they are only Ł150 from hoods galore

will give ya contact details if you want
