Rotten sills, floor and seatbelt anchor points.

Headlight needed aiming, rear plate light needed doing.

NSR wheel bearing and stub axle.

Plus a few more he didn't mention.

I've just managed to knock £300 off the price by asking.

I'll do the bearing myself as well to save a bit of cash.

MOT tester cant poke underneath them  :lipsrsealed:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

  • If I can't fix it at home, it ain't getting fixed.

Going by Shady's thread they can hide a lot of problems.

Shaun you can see the rust breaking through the plastic covers in places. Typical mk3! Saying that it costs us nothing to maintain, the old girl keeps going and doesnt break down (touch wood!).

Gutted you have to sell them jack! They look awesome in the photo in your for sale thread!

Hope you manage to get the work done to fix the car...
