So, are You getting it?

 

[astranaut]

And if so, let's see it

 

[Purpledrumstick]

No lol it was a £300 mk3 that turned out to be exactly that unfortunately

 

[astranaut]

Mine was a £300 mk3 7 years ago, that said it has its side stoved in so fair point well presented

What was it out of interest? On the look out for some form of mechanical donor for mine, getting the point I'm not even arsed what engine it is now

1.6 8v spi mate. Rear arches were pretty bad, from the pictures I would say that it wouldn't have much left if you started messing. Interior is tatty in places but does have black interior and also needs new centre section fitting to take it away

 

[Kev_mk3]

As above was a 1.6 8v spi. Arches what's left wont be left for long not sure would pass a mot again but rest was solid, nice clean interior head lining was screwed all black plastics thats it. You could do a leon / RC weld the arches up with shelving and paint it cheap but for the money buy something better imo

I've seen the pics, doesn't look terrible but you can definitely get better still.

 

[Purpledrumstick]

Yeh that's it. It was below budget as well. There's a couple more im going to enquire about tomorrow. One of which is a 1.6 8v MPI!!!

 

[astranaut]

Should have stuck with your old one bud it looked well

 

[Purpledrumstick]

Tell me about it lol I do regret getting rid of that, my mate still has it and last I heard its still going strong
