Default 245 2.3 Turbo Project [NI]

Hi hello. I'm looking to sell this project my brother and I started about 4 or 5 years ago and never finished. Shes been off the road for about that long and was just left at the side of the house. It was mainly my brothers project but I bought it off him about 2 years ago and never got around to it ether. Its a shame to see it going to waste there so it would be better off in someone else hands.

Ill list the specs below but don't quote me on them...:

Shell is 1993 with about 130K
It has Gaz shocks in the rear and adjustable springs
The front springs were cut to see how it would sit
The wheels are 16x8 [I think] with spacer / pcd adapters
Tires only saw a couple hundred miles use
Comes with Gaz shocks for the front
Interior is in very good condition
The body work is all good apart from the back left arch [not rotten just flaky paint] and the boot lid is starting to blister

Engine is a B230fk from a 940
[It had a quick referb [rinds and bearings] and I think the head was ported out a bit
Turbo is a Garrett replica
Mitsubishi Evo injectors to suit
Big inter-cooler
ECU and all that was swaped over from the 940, the electrics are ready to go
940 Radiator
940 Gearbox [I believe this is an 'M90'?]

To get her working you'll need to:
Modify ether the 940 or 240 drive shaft to fit
Wire up the electric fan
Make fuel lines
Do a bit of pluming under the bonnet

The balk of the hard work is done really

I think £950 is fare, make me an offer and I might consider swaps.
I'm about 12 miles outside Belfast [Crumlin]
Text or message me on here, my phones usually on silent so I likely wont pick up if you call 07413593439.
If she doesn't sell in a couple of weeks Ill start breaking or if there's enough interest Ill break it sooner.

PICTURES TO COME LATER TODAY

Just want to add that I can have it delivered on a tailor if you're near by. Or if it gets broken, I'm able to send bits by courier, even larger things on a pallet.

I have mentioned this car to someone looking for a turbo 240. Do you have any idea please as to the cost of getting it to England and then a couple of hundred miles?

I do hope the car does not get broken.

Im not sure about that, it would mean coming over with a trailer or my dad does know a couple of guys with low-loaders that go back and forth but they rarely have room going your way... propably a like couple hundred if there was.

Bump. £900 takes it. Please give me feed back on how well these cars break too.

Not sure of when it'll be, but I could take the trailer with me next time I'm home in NI if a deal was done for the car. I'd be tempted myself if I wasn't tripping over bits of Amazon constantly!

I could bring it to Cumbria for £150, or further if needed for a bit more.
