i just don't have the space anymore for projects, we have 4 cars already  

[JamesV6CDX]

If it's going for project money, then I will be interested

Not quite that cheap James  

Project money isn't always mega low... my Elite turned out a "project" and that cost me £1300.....

I guess a potential buyer (I am mildly considering it as a business car!) needs to consider the cost of repairing.

1) Those snapped exhaust manifold studs - still not sure I could drill in situ and make a good job, so for a DIYer it's probs going to be a head off job, so pretty much a top end rebuild for a proper fix - during which is a good time to find that noisy lifter!

2) New Rad, and flushout out of the bodgeweld..

3) New ABS ECU and relevent setting up with Tech2

4) Exhaust's bandaged - so probably will want new sections soon.

So - market value, minus the cost of those jobs, I'd say is probably fair?

Current plan if i get it fixed myself.....local garage is going to drill in situ, using a right angled air drill.....only a pilot hole, then tap a left handed thread.....with conversations i had with others with snapped studs on 4pots....the studs will probably come out when trying to tap them...if not a left threaded bolt and unscrew em  

But upto you, how you tackle the job if you become the owner of it  

Id agree with the new rad, but a secondhand abs ecu or get the one fitted repaired......would be fine, in fact I will prolly get it repaired as it wouldnt need tech2 work then  

Exhaust I agree with.......tho if i end putting it on autotrader I wouldnt touch the rad or exhaust  

PM me James, if you wanna make an offer
