My project GTi is going...it's failed the mot today, on 2 rear broken springs, and emissions, it needs a whole new system, from manifold back...including Cat! All in all another 700...on top of the work already done, just not financial viable, I know cars aren't ever viable, but there is only so much someone can spend on a 15yr old car with 152k on it lol. Been offered £100-£150 scrap for it, not sure if that's good or not, but if someone wants it for parts...you can have it for that..collection obviously. It has a brand new rad on it, new rear discs and pads and a new caliper on the rear offside.
So this is goodbye for now, I will be back, with another VW hopefully soon, I still have my mk5 gt gti so will most probably spend some time in there for a while.
Thanks for all the help and advice given, hopefully I'll be able to help one day.

It's a 1.8 non turbo in black, it's not in the greatest condition, it's been keyed all down the sides! Few dents that aren't too major, interior cleaned, all seats EXCEPT drivers in fairly good nick! If someone wants to take the engine and box, no probs but I have no facility to remove! Not really in the position to break, as it's a rented property and I've got to be seen to 'preserve' the reputation of the area blah blah sh!te lol. I can do non noticeable things I suppose!
Car is available in full to be taken..it drives (even put £20 in the tank yesterday!) serviced myself 600mikes ago..not sure when it was done previous to that. Engine is AGN with 152k on it. Gearbox hasn't got any whines!
Inbox on here if interested in whole car, or any non-noticeable removal of items. Shady pioneer, anything in particular you are wanting or just a mooch about to see of you can notice anything? I'm off the rest of this week if you want to pop over, inbox me if you do
Any questions just ask
-
sad times my friend :cry: Hope you get some better interest in it!
-
Sold the whole to a Polski for £150. Least it's not scrapped and it has lived another day lol

now on gumtree for a grand :grin: :grin:

Ha! Wasn't worth nowhere near a grand in that condition even with 12mths mot. Would of needed a total respray, total interior refurb and a ounce of service history to be worth anywhere near a grand
