*****UPDATE*****
I thought it would just be better to post up an updated ad as people seem confused at to what's on offer.
THE CAR HAS NO SEATS. IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE. HAS NO TAX OR MOT. IT MUST BE TOWED/TRAILERED AWAY, FROM MANCHESTER
I want someone to come and take it away as I CBA breaking it myself, and am looking for £100 or so. Make us an offer.
The car:
1.8 16v. No mods other than K&N, decat, Magnex back box.
It was my daily runner until I found an early ph1 back in 2007. Me and a mate decided to track this as someone had kindly hit the rear 1/4 panel which would've been an uneconomical repair. It's merely cosmetic and affects nothing.
So it was stripped a little, seats fitted, Paradas on the front and then tracked. Unfortunately late one Nov evening in 2007 I came off the Snake Pass and luckily just ran up the embankment a bit before getting back on the road.
Damage extended to bent subframe, broken spring, bent tie rod and front splitter ripped off.
So far I've
Hammerited up a new subframe bought from Winston years ago
Bought a NEW set of wishbones & ball joints and subframe/wishbone bolts
Bought a set of 172 springs and fitted them
Got halfway through fitting the subframe and got stuck with getting it out of the old ball joints. Never touched it since other than to occasionally roll it back and forth and start the engine.
And here's a few pics from its last outing at Cadwell in 2007:
