Free car

[ollyc98]

Getting a new car on the 20th, need to get rid of my car as I need the space, I was gunna scrap it but decided to see if anyone wanted a project.

1991 Seat Marbella (Fiat Panda) 843cc. Tax til end of Feb, MOT til April I think. A little over 60k miles. New plugs, leads and dizzy cap. Nearly new tyres all round.

Possible head gasket fault, mayo in the oil but no other signs of head gasket fail so probably issues somewhere else.

Collection preferably on the 20th of this month, will be taking it to scrap on the 21st.

id love to but the space is a mega issue with me

 

[ollyc98]

It's so small it only takes half a space, you could fill the other half of a space with a large motorbike

 

[Shaun]

what new car are you getting!

 

[davey1991]

I want this haha i love box cars!
Only issue is finding space...
Collection distance is a little far aswell... Damn.

what new car are you getting!

Hoodedreapers polo


I love box cars too but suspension and handling is awful. Leaf springs on the rear. I span off a roundabout this afternoon after knocking it down one gear too many and lifting the rear end.

 

[ollyc98]

Forgot to add, it has remote locking

 

[Scott]

Someone get it and SR20 it!!

 

[ollyc98]

An engine conversion is a good idea, there are 2 sets of engine mounts in the bay, one for the petrol and one for the VW 1.3 Diesel which was a factory option. You could fit 3 of the standard engines in it.

 

[Scott]

Might be a bit tight for space with 3 engines in there

 

[ollyc98]

Oh yeah, new battery on it as well. I'll add bits as I remember them.

 

[davey1991]

Not willing to deliver it are you XD, i'd pay you of course.

 

[ollyc98]

Sadly I cannot, it does about 6krpm at 70mph so don't really wanna do a long trip on the m/way

 

[davey1991]

Damn, i'll try arrange something, i really want this now haha.

 

[ollyc98]

There are people on eBay with flatbeds who will do it for you

 

[davey1991]

For like £200 for the distance lol,.

 

[ollyc98]

Ooh expensive.

 

[davey1991]

Other option is one days insurance and get someone to give me a lift down, which will be fun.

 

[ollyc98]

Catch a train/bus down and I'll pick you up from the station?

 

[davey1991]

£55 for a one way ticket. i'll find something, i'll pm you at some point.

 

[ollyc98]

kk, let me know.
