Maybe I've just had a bad day?
Maybe I'm just suffering due to winter blues!?
But I'm considering selling on my LE project.
It's taking too long, I'm struggling to find the time to get stuck into it, I've so much stuff for it too.
As I can't use my garage at the moment, I have to work on it outside, not really a good thing in this awful weather. I have looked at putting it into a specialist to get the big jobs done but I really need to swap the turbo out before I will risk taking it out again, it's smoking.
Anyway.....
How much could I expect to fetch for it do you think, bare in mind the answers could influence what I do with it as I don't really want to let it go and I'm NOT going to break it, or sell it to anyone that will.
1998 20VT LE (No.36) In solid black.
Sunroof
Aircon (Needs Re-Charge)
VERY good interior, little wear, carpets are mint too. Original mats in good condition.
Supersprint Exhaust (centre pipe brand new, tail pipe 2 years old)
FK Silverline Coilovers on the front (with harder springs if required) with brand new Bravo Top mounts and drop links.
Walbro Pump
LE Starter Mod done
Everything works (Wndows, Central Locking etc)
Good oil pressure and oil recently changed again (Mobil 1)
TurboRevs HID kit
Boost gauge
DBA Wiper Slots (Yellow Pagid Pads)
Plus carpet inserts (console to bulkhead)
K&N Insert
Perrin EBV
Sony Bluetooth Hands Free Kit (Matches the dash illumination!)
Drives well, used daily until the snow came, not run since as SORN.
Recent replacement Rad, hose of death and Turbo water pipe.
Showing 89k, no history but I have little doubt this is accurate as the engine seems good and the interior really reflects such.
9 months MOT (flew through, failed only on a bulb!)
Bad bits!
Needs passenger door (Could be filled I guess but why cheat)
Needs new bonnet
Assorted dinks
Turbo smoking
Needs belts
However!
I have a garage FULL of stuff for this car as follows.............
New Brembo brake seals - Don't need doing, brakes are A1
Nigels Lower Brace
Superspool Turbo (I'm told it's A1)
Replacement bonnet (Speed red but spotless, no rust at all anywhere)
Whiteline Rear ARB
Eibach springs
Front Hub
Plus Grille
Passenger door glass (correct tint)
2 as new wishbones (fitted to my old coop for 4-500 miles max.
Loads more stuff I imagine and I'll add as I remember.
Looking for a rough idea, sold as a job lot, or car only (the spares will be good for the next coop!)
See the project section for a rough idea of the story so far.
As above, I'm not really wanting to sell, but it seems unfair this car sat outside waiting for me to find the time to get her to the high standard I expect. If little or no interest, I'll plough on with her, she is a superb looking car, bumps and all. It's just too much for me at this moment, but I've no problems keeping her under a weather cover for the time being.
Opinions welcome!
If I decide not to sell, she'll be going into one of the specialists in a month or so, NEVER to appear on here for sale again!
