Genuine MK 2 REV3 turbo tin top Astral Black. Donor or break for parts. £1300

Post by Bricknall »

After 6 years of ownership the time has come to regretfully sell my REV3 turbo.

!!
I've just discovered that the sills are shot so this would need some welding or a re-shell, hence the price drop. I will break this if there's no interest. Car will need towed away. Ideal as a donor car or to break for parts.
!!



The car is a 1994 REV3 tin top turbo, imported in December 2005. Earliest MOT i can find is July 2008 which has 71239 (obviously a mix of miles and kmh). Current miles are around 112k.
I've always ran the car on V-Power and it has been serviced every year in my ownership.
I bought the car as a project to tidy up with the intention of getting mint, however soon after buying it i lost my job and have since never had the time and money together to do what i'd planned to do. Now i still don't have the time and I'm starting to loose the drive to get back onto it.

Over the years of ownership I've carried out a lot of work, wear and tear items and a few upgrades.

Its had a gearbox referb, parts were all bought from Peter Gidden at s bits and included: Input shaft, 2 selector forks, 3rd gear syncro, and was rebuilt by a local gearbox specialist.
6 paddle clutch from GTS Chris
Refurbished alternator
4 toyo proxes T1R tyres, Pretty much new


Upgrades.
Blitz advanced power induction kit
Fujitsubo RM-01A exhaust
Brand new ebay stainless decat and support bracket (supplied unfitted, never got round to fitting this)
Blitz super sound BOV.
Carbotech pads
Various receipts from over the years

Car is mechanically well looked after. Starts first time hot or cold and I've always let it warm up before any spirited driving. Until developing this current issue it never produced any smoke at all, boosted and pulls strong and steady as you'd expect.


Interior is all pretty good, could do with a few bits of glue here and there to tidy it up. There' an apline USB I pod controller head unit fitted.

All electronics work as they should included the headlights. It has the low rise light modification fitted for the headlights

Bad bits.
I can sort mechanical problems, not so good with paint and body work :oops:
Theres a few dents around the car, nothing major or deep.
Paintwork isnt great, the rear quarter and one of the front wings has been poorly repaired and as such will need re-painting. The rest should polish up quite nicely.
Underneath its all solid, mostly surface rust on things where there's been no underseal (sub frame etc)
Suspension is showing it's age, not as supportive and tight as it uses to be.
Seats are in general good condition but the drivers side has a rip in the bolster.
ECU light comes on when the car gets warm, I've checked this and its brought up the code for lambda sensor so it will need replacing.
Small leak from rocker cover breather (very easy fix)
And now I've just discovered it has a cracked windscreen.
turbo seals have gone so the car smokes when running, up until that point the engine never missed a beat, even as a daily driver and through the winter.
.
.
I've just ran out of time, money and motivation with it.

Steve

Was it a really nice issue or a not so nice one?

Not a nice one as it turns out. Not entirely sure what the problem is but I suspect it's the turbo that's gone. Just lost all interest in fixing it now so it's still for sale.
