Worth significantly more in bits if you have the facility and patience to break it.

[Marf]

If you do choose to break it be upfront about the engine, afterall you know it has issues.

Possibly interested in the wheels here

[Toptotz]

I am, just been speaking to another member & told him it has compression problems, there's also a thread from me asking for advice which details exactly what's happened with the car

[dazzz]

Whereabouts do you live in the uk?

You'll be able to sell all the parts on here, as long as you are not Tyrant.

PM'd

[Toptotz]

tyrant, lmao... erm, no, definitely not!!!

[Toptotz]

[quote="dazzz"]Whereabouts do you live in the uk?

I'm in Blackpool.

[Marf]

Any pics of the wheels?

[Toptotz]

I'll get some taken & post them if I can work out how to get the picture size small enough, otherwise I can email them if you give me your email address

Yeah there's a lot of good parts there that I'd certainly be interested in. It's a shame you can't get it sorted as she'd be a sweet ride with that spec.

[bolton]

What this a forsale thread? Lol!

[Chris]

Looks like it....

I am thinking of selling my rev 5 alloys? Anyone know the legalities on that

would love to get it sorted but don't know how to find out what's wrong without paying someone £££'s to dismantle it... any suguestions?

[Toptotz]

No, if I break it or sell it I will advertise it properly but as I don't know the first thing about breaking cars & need to get some idea of what's saleable & for roughly how much before I let it go to a dealer for a pittance .

Not sure it's something I want to take on but £1800 seems a little on the low side for the spec it's got

I'm not sure if you need to be registerd to break cars & wondered if anyone knew more on the subject... can I get into trouble for it??? That's all

[cvega666]

My advice is not to post the exactly same thread in a different section to get more audience. That is all.

Other than that, nice car.

Iam guessing aslong as you remove your Air-con gas, Engine oil and anti freeze in the environmentally friendly way i cant see there being any problems

Just remember there rules & laws which garages have to stick to...same would be for you.

[Toptotz]

Thanks, I was fairly sure there would be some rules & regs involved & hadn't even considered the likes of the air con!
