Fair enough, thanks for the help chaps.

really?

Indeed but then that makes even more sense for me to buy it as i intend to keep it so its almost like im the ideal owner as i wont be looking at it from a profit point of view.

Even as a cat D i'm sure she would shine nicely as a mr2/jap show

Well said! I will certainly do it justice by keeping it well kept but I'm not going to sell it.

First thing i want to do it put an original mark 1 A airfilter back on it. I don't want any modifications on it what so ever (apart from the wheels)

Being a Cat D will devalue it whatever you spend on it. My plan is to keep it till either it dies or i die so this is not a worry for me. Only for as long as people continue to take that attitude towards 'Cat D' cars. Any minor bodywork damage is sufficient to cause an insurance company to write of...

Cat D*** :thumleft: But yeah... I'm beginning to think hard about it... I love the car its a really awesome bit of kit and its local... but... I'm thinking it could be a money pit too... It's hard but i need to let my head rule over heart kinda thing. I'm going to pop back and speak to the chap ther...

Yes just the doors, boot/ignition work fine.

ust get a set of locks off of eBay or off of someone breaking a whole car. I need a lock set?! why?! that sounds abit extreme?? Does this car have central locking?? The battery is currently flat on it so could that be causing the problem? I put the key in the door and turning left no problem but if...

Your thoughts? still worth a punt at £500? Or should i walk away? #-o :| Hard to answer as we do not know what you want with/from the car. If you are looking for a 'show car' then you'll need to spend a fair bit of money to bring it up to scratch, if you want a good useable Mk1 then £500 is a good ...

Hey thanks for the info! Sounds like quite abit of work?

I'm not too great at working on cars

Had a proper good look today and (unfortunatly) found out afew things about the car which he failed to mention before. 1, The car doesn't lock AT ALL.... great... the locks are all there and everything but when you put the key in it wont lock... I can't remember from my old mark 1 B but are these ce...

Hi chaps! I've just purchased (as some of you probably already know) my third mrk 1... here is it: http://www.sapphiresupport.co.uk/3.jpg Not a great picture... but its a very tidy car indeed! Very very solid and i want to keep it that way! Which brings me to the reason for this post... what is the ...

i won the car on ebay for 325 pounds after a quick bid and won Bargain :thumleft: i did notice the whole front was new eg wings , bumper , crash bar and lights but the lad said he brought it of a chap who had it professional rebuilt / restored and was total clueless about cars never mind the mk1 Po...

Wow, crazy! nice to know there are still a number of mint ones around! Mk1 Dal did you know it was Cat D? Such a shame that it is. Will effect its value although I'm not worried about reselling. I want one to keep/show/restore. Did you take it to shows? what shows did it win?! that's so interesting ...
