Just want to get your guys opinions on what my project is worth,
the car has had the f7p dropped into it
oil cooler
new engine mounts from classicsweede
new trailing arms from classiicsweede
new drop links as above
car is fully stripped
2 buckets + 2 harnesses
has a brand new battery
new dimpled and grooved discs
braided brake lines
new racing pads
new spax adustable suspension all round
new brake lines
2 13x9 alloys (unknown make)
2 volvo steels
mk1 golf gti front splitter
engine bay painted kawasaki purple

the car is finnished it just needs the last finnishing touches, had the car running over the weekend!
think it needs a starter motor as it doesnt want to turn over now, also needs a brake reservoir (have one on order)

I'd guess at £700/800 max mate. As long as it has enough T&T.

Yep, aren't 300s great? :wink:

Just enjoy the car for what it is bud, if you get bored later then swap it for something else.

Aye lol. You can't have it all though! Cheap to buy and cheap to mod unfortunately means cheap to sell on when modified too!

Keep it OE, stock as a rock. I love a bit of that me. :lol:

does anyone want to nick this off me and finish the project?

would like around 1000-1100

car is leaking power somwhere and drains the battery (even while the car is running) its probably an easy fix im just fed up with it now

Had this with a deisel Cav. Drove me mental. So much so that I sold it.

Sorry youre thinking of binning it dude, youve put a hell of a lot of work in.

GLWTS.

Thats pretty crap Sam. Shame really, after all the effort! Your alternator working? New battery? I frigging hate electrics, something "simple" like a corroded wire can really mess with the mojo! Hope you can get it sorted.

If you are thinking of selling, I'll have the pair of 13 x 9s off you in a heartbeat lad.

For the kind of car it is, I'd try DW and PH first. Ask what you want for it, if that fails, final offer on here for the least amount you'd let it go for then either break it or put it on the bay. Shame, I'd love to put a TD lump in a red 3 door.
