rust on body and a sh!tty engine install. Buyers guide on here should help

Dodgy wiring is number 1. have a poke around the fuse box!!!!!!

Also check the front cross member, is it a welded mk3/mk2 combo, a corrado VR6 one or a standard mk2 one with a conversion mount? If its mk3/mk2 combo check the quality of the welding. You dont want you're engine falling out.

Surely this should be referred to as 'dropping anchor'?

Main things are to check the quality of the conversion and standard of wiring.

Anywhere between 1.5k and 3k is about right depending on the quality of the work.

for £1000 i would worry about the wiring last. If the engine runs then bonus!

Look in the buying guide for general tips but I always look at the condition of the bodywork/sills.

Cam chains on the vr6 can rattle. Had 2 vr6's with rattling chains and was a gearbox off job
