while browsing various forums i saw a mk1 swallow tail for sale, unfinished or incomplete, the car had been painted in 2005 and stayed in the bodyshop it was never put back together and various parts had gone missing along the way
i messaged the seller asking if he could tell me more about it and what was there or not, he was unsure on what exactly was missing but from what i could see there were a good few parts missing including;
bumpers
80% of interior, seats, carpets, cards etc
radiator
parts of the engine
fuel pump
complete exhaust
hoses / pipes
Well we negotiated a price and i sent hime the money based on a fair few photos of the body and rust prone areas. After a faff with the bank, money was transfered and i arranged my mate to collect it on his truck.
He got back from northampton about 3.30 this afternoon
rolled it into my mates lockup anf began rummaging through the bags of bits and bobs
it wasn't long before the goodies started being unearthed
service history confirms mileage as 34000
