Ive got the rear end of a mk4 i'm using the quarters off - Do you want the internal section thats rotten under the window? Its getting cut out anyway so you can have it.

Thanks for the offer mate, i think i am getting a full shell to get most of the bits i need so i probably wont need it, when will it be gone?

yeah was a pretty good but, couple of daft things niggling me about it and i am desperate to rip it apart and resto it too but its not viable just now, dont have a workshop and ones cars going to be enough for the now, maybe do another when i get a bigger house and double garage!!!!

cutch

iTrader: (1)

Right how much should i ask for the shell/interior without the running gear and loom?

Being innundated with people asking if i am breaking etc.

I honestly dont know, and the mods deleted my thread asking in the general section

cala

iTrader: (1)

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

good on ya for saving the S1 mate, too many get scrapped - dont listen to the negative posts!! I'd have my first car back in a flash if i could, regardless of condition!

ps i went to view that cossie when it was for sale, wasnt for me but boy took me a run in it and by fuck it shifts

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

for me that shell and interior has got to be worth Ł 1500 quid mate all day long ,


and for me , id leave the loom in it , depending on if you plan on running abs or not on the s1 ,

if not , just but a aftermarket enging loom and splice into the s1 loom like i will ,


or find a complete loom already stripped from a car , there was one on ebay for about 30 quid mate ,


hope this helps


u got me number brother
