Hi TJ,

I'm back from hols now - but I think I've read your ad wrong! I thought for some reason you were parting the car out, rather than selling whole.. hence my interest in the shocks!

Yes, need to sell complete as I have a medical issue now which means I can't work on the car. Hence abandoned project !

That said the price I'm looking for would only just about buy the suspension. mods !

I must say I was tempted as I've been offered £250 for the engine.

New boxed discs / pads now sold, thanx Andrew.

Despite wanting the car to go on to be someone's pride and joy project, it seems that nobody wants a rust and dent free donor car that's had £1000's spent on it in the last 15K miles or so.

I have 2 serious offers for the engine now [ new head, turbo 10K miles ago, etc,etc. ] and also the radiator and Intercooler both replaced by PO. Today I had an enquiry for the auto box - also perfect.

Then there's the brand new Bilsteins and Killen springs that have done all of 7 miles since fitting !! That's from the workshop to my house.

My issue is that I cannot carry out the dismantling due to health issues - if I could do that ..... I'd be able to finish it off !

So, IF I get serious commitment to buy the large lumps I may well see about breaking it - big shame.

Update. The car has been starting and running sweet as a nut for the past week !!!!!

Engine still perfect and started in the 2nd spin of the starter after standing for over a year !!

That's not to say the issue is fixed as I have done nothing since abandoning it a year ago

Unbelievable - starting first time every time every day.

So, looks like someone's missed a bargain - and my project is back on

Excellent news! Glad to hear it.
Do you want the front brake pads back? - they are the wrong ones for my calipers... Sorry, not offering to return the discs!
