Found a nice little project

[dirty]

Hmmm i had a look at this myself, thing is why would you go that far and stop? If the engine is good and genuine youve got between £300-£500 depending on your local scrap merchant, The car itself is probably worth £100 at a push. Id say £800 is bit tempting but at the same time could be a real bad decision. i have no doubts it will sell, Good luck if its yourself

TC Diamond Hell, where are you..

Yawn.

They're probably 'show harnesses' - like those Russ-vdub has, which are fastened to a rear strut brace.

No one said MOT = safe.  It's just ticks in boxes at the end of the day.

I live near the bloke selling it ... trust me he has about 5 other dubs at his house   

His old car was mint, i reckon this one would have looked awesome if he finished it ... this is his old motor

I've often thought about taking on a project like this but I just couldnt stomach it if it turned into a money pit and ruined the whole experiance

i know the old owner the only reason its ended up like this is cos he got banned and saw it as an excuse to do the engine transplant but ran out of enthuisam and now his ban is coming to an end he's going to buy a tt.
could be an awesome car its had some serious wedge spent on it.

The way those harness are mounted is lethally dangerous!

I have to agree. If this car needed an SVA test, those harnesses would fail as there is a real risk of spine compression in the event of an accident. Current kit car legislation will not allow harnesses mounted that way.

From what you can see on the photos £800 is a good starting bid. I paid that for my car last year. I would hate to think how much I,ve spent since then to get it to a semi decent state. And it still burns as much oil as petrol. Lets face it if you could take it on as aproject and get the turbo motor running. Relocating the seat belt mounts would be a piece of cake. Would love that turbo!

I think if youve got the time and could haggle or get something else with it it would be a good project car,

obviously someone has gone to the trouble of putting the 1.8t in, so would be a shame to rip it out  haha

Fairplay to the bloke

Yeah, bolting engines up is a piece of cake, the wiring is the tough bit and I think it's the bit that's not been done on this one and that's why it's worth the price of some second hand parts, not the value of a running, MOTed motor.
