Former Track Car

[Swervin_Mervin]

It's increasingly looking like I won't get the old bird back on the road due to time/money/being a lazy bastid etc.

I want someone to come and take it away as I CBA breaking it myself, and am looking for £100 or so without the seats. Make us an offer. The seats set me back a couple of hundred quid a couple of years ago so if the taker wants them as well I'd be looking at another £100 for the pair.

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, which ended up becoming the daily hack. Me and a mate decided to track ULF 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:





And the good old days:

Bumpety, with added pics of the current state of the car:





It's not a stain on the seat in the following pic, but where the sun has bleach around the harness

Would you be willing to split the seats?

And how comfy are they? Good lower back support?

Shame to see it sold :( but I understand the lazyitus lol
