Apparently I've just bought a 220gsi for £205

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-PETROL-M ... 7675.l2557

Guess that's another project on the list.

Someone else linked to that, stuck in reverse iirc, not bad for £205 tho.

even worst case its gearbox, got 3 of them in the unit.

rust under the water catchers (spats) looks a bit scary....

The rust looks advanced, is the drivers side the same.

doesn't look as bad in the pics but we'll see when it arrives.

Have to aggree this car is best served at a parts mule

lets face it, far more fitting end for it than just being scrapped completly

lots and lots of stupid stuff on it worth nothing but impossible to get a hold off

let the strip down commence i say

1234dist · Post by **1234dist** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 11:51 am

or get it running and driving and see if it can get an mot and have another year of driving around, then kill it

peteT16 · Post by **peteT16** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 11:52 am

It looks pretty rotten to me

1234dist · Post by **1234dist** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 11:53 am

in all fairness the 420 was in worse condition when it arrived

Post by **ghall2004** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 11:54 am

please dont attempt that

it offers nothing you dont already have in the locker

just my 2p however

part mule ftw

For the money you cannot go wrong. I think it definately has potential but all comes down to how much you would be willing to sink into it

1234dist · Post by **1234dist** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 9:23 pm

Well, bit of an update......i didn't scrap it.
