estimates for a sportline interior/breaking a cabriolet?

hi there, i bought a mk1 cabby yesterday to use for parts, and because it had a complete sportline interior, got the car nice and cheap, wouldnt mind having the front seats for my golf, but that then leaves doorcards and the rear seat to try and get rid of seperately…

the front seats have got pretty bad fagburns on them but are otherwise pretty good nick for bolster fabric and no collapse of the sponge at all.

any ideas on what the interior would be worth as a whole? bearing in mind the front seats are a bit burnt (4mm holes). then i can decide whether i take the front seats or not.

anything particularly worth any money on a G reg Cabby that is worth removing? will it have 100mm driveshafts? i basically have less than a week (*working full time too) to get what i can off the cabby and its getting scrapped!
thanks
Josh

Mint interior i would expect to see £400+

With the burns £200+

Whats worth the ££££ on the cab everything has a price, but you need to sit on stuff to achieve a decent return.

Where you located?

ok cool, in that case ill have the seats for myself…kind of already decided that…saves me retrimming the hard bits in black. ill advertise the bits i can be bothered to take off respectively, im really pushed for time so i cant take off much..

ill also put the car in the breaking section…

im miles from you, in west sussex unfortunately…so after ive had a few bits the car is being taken away to a salvage yard…

agreed, I paid £400 for my SL interior (about 6 years ago).

I sold a full sportline interior for £700.00, so I think you may have under estimated the price a little.
That was on ebay though  :mrgreen:

Im just thinking back to the one that was on there for months which had burns, think it went as low as £200?

What condition was the one that sold for 700?
Thanks

These were them mate



I will admit they were in good condition though, Where are the fag burns in the seats as they can be repaired.

two tiny ones on the bolster of the drivers seat, and then just in the centres really, pretty sure its anothe two tiny ones in the rear, the front has quite  noticeable burns in the centres, the front seats are also missing one peice of black trim that sits over the hinged part, the other ones aren't in that great a nick. i think id rather keep them….unless i get desperately skint…

im still getting decent offers for the remaining interior, and i do like the smaller headrests, and the subframes give more passenger leg room than alternatives.
thanks

oh and thanks for the pictures by the way.
if i do decide to test the water, ill put up the pictures and see what offers i get, if something is wild enough to take my fancy ill sell them on.
thanks
Josh

what exactly are the A/B pillar trims, the A pillars is aroudn the windscreen right? and the B pillar is where the seatbelt bolts to, and the C pillar is the back corner of the car?

all i can see on the inside is just black vinyl, similar to that of a normal hardtop?
thanks

oh, that reminds me, mine did have a big fag burn in one of the seats, cost £45 to put right.

Ah ok, did you get the fabric from recaro?

for anyone who's interested/ read this thread, the remaining interior is on ebay now..
