Bad bits:

Needs tracking done and new track rod ends. New track rod ends will be provided with the sale, just not had time to fit them yet. Overall they are not that bad as they are.
Rusty arches – can either be scrubbed back and treated or bodyshopped – quoted £300-500 for both.
Drivers sill rust – there is a hole near front wheel sill, can either be welded over or replaced.
Some minor car park dents and a dent in rear hatch door.
Clutch has quite high biting point, but no slipping as yet so may just need readjusting or new cable.
Rear window heater isn’t working. I know it is just the prong connectors on the window, easy fix.
General wear and tear, mainly driver seat foam, alloys and front bumper with some stone chips.
No front fogs

The car is based in Southampton, Hampshire.

I would love to keep the car, and it OWES ME BIG TIME!!!! I now own a Williams 1 and living in the centre of town I just don’t have the space or time for two cars :(

Most of the things that are going to cost silly money have been sorted on this car. Mechanically it is sound, with just some bodywork to be taken care of if you are that way inclined.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It's a real shame you have to get rid of it :(

Has been a good learning project though!

If I had the cash...

[LEIGH-ANNE]

Tax till November 2008!!!

Just checked outside for u ;)

[Wobba]

Thanks Leighanne hehe, and yea it is a shame but I just dont need two cars tbh and the valver has come to the end of it's project. I learned a lot from it, and the next owner will no doubt be completely ignorant of the blood sweat and tears that went into it hehe!

[Wobba]

Bump.

Will be advertised elsewhere very shortly.

[Wobba]

Up to three people coming to see the car tomorrow, so it may be a fond farewell very soon.

[Wobba]

Sold :)

being collected this weekend, and hopefully new owner will come here to say hi.

[summeh]

Aye, I will sad to see it go tbh. I love having both cars but it's just not a sensible option. I've got all the crap to sort on the williams now, and the valver is almost a finished item...just minor stuff to sort and the bodywork rust, but I think the new owner has plans for the rusty bits so that's good.

Well, having been using it recently, I forgot what a nice ride it is and I may have sold it a little cheap but not by much. At the end of the day it did what I wanted and I can pat myself on the back after all the work I did.

It does still need sill sorting and the arches and tracking, but not a lot else, so next owner can run amok with mods as long as they keep it maintained...

Lol! I would do it again if I had too, damn hard work though.
