Taxed or sorn: SORN
Description:
Bought this in 2015 for my wife , who always wanted one. Intended to replace many of the tatty bits, but never did. Never broken down, always started, even though it was left for months at a time. It's tatty not bad condition, a project for someone who wants to bring it back to full glory, or a run about as it looks good, our final trip was a run through France with the top down nearly all the way there and back!
Below is more detail;
Wheels : 6JTX15H2 BBS - need refurb but ok
Body : White- generally good, bubbling on rear wheel arch
Engine : Very strong, leaking exhaust manifold gasket, a few leaks
Gearbox : Good, was refurbed by previous owner, bushes and linkage changed
Steering : Crazy Quiff fitted electric PS
Tyres : Fronts are quite new Dunlops. Rears, lots of tread but ancient
Door Locks : Different ignition to door locks, drivers door lock broken, boot never had key
Roof: Hood has cracks along edges and has a repair at the rear, only leaks if rain is torrential though. Mechanism needs refurbing as some cables are snapped and it doesn't sit square.
Interior: Dashboard vents damaged, inserts won't stay in, glovebox lid broken. Heater speed switch broken, heater slider broken control borken. Rev counter not working, speedo not corrent for car. Seat fabric front & rear in good condition. Plastic trim at top of door card split both sides. Carpet newly fitted a few years ago.
Exterior : Aerial snapped
Receipts : Gearbox refurb, Front discs, Brake lines, gearbox linkage re-align, Power steering & Misc
Tuning : Recent cryptotune
Alignment : 4 wheel align

Firstly the electric pas is rare & a big bonus in my opinion.
White is probably not the most sought after colour.
If the bodywork is as good in real life as the photos then that's a big plus. Maybe a pic of the bubbling rear arches would help.
Perhaps if it was a Gti instead of carbed it would appeal to more people.
I am thinking about your car myself for a 1.8t conversion but even though I can do all the mech work myself I wouldn't be comfortable tackling fitting a new roof. The heater controls & possibly new instrument cluster requirement is easy for anyone to do but a new roof is costly at about £1k if a buyer cannot fit one themself.
It doesn't mean it isn't a good price. Have you advertised elsewhere to hit a bigger audience?

I wanted to be as detailed as possible to get a good response. I know the roof is the most costly bit as the rest is DIY.
The electric PAS cost around £1000, so I thought I had priced it low enough to sell reasonably easily, and I did think it would suit someone like yourself wanting a bit of a project. If someone offered a reasonable lower price at least I know where it would sell.
I hope it does get some interest as I would like the space in the garage!
