The Car
GTV LUSSO TS 2.0 Twin Spark 1999 V plate – Phase 2, with aero kit rear spoiler and teledials. In silver with Red leather interior.
Pictures

What happened
The cambelt tensioner smashed itself to pieces, thus the cams slipped. There was no head damage so the top end was rebuilt. Unfortunately for me, it’s now developed a bottom end knock. Someone with the time, effort and knowledge may be interested in completing this work, but I’ve moved onto a Type R.
Total honesty here, I need to get the cost of the repairs from the car as currently its wasted money. The forum thinks it’s worth £200 as its stands, so unless someone offers me substantially more than that for the whole car then it’s going to be broken. I do have a huge folder for the car’s history, including about 9 million receipts.
In terms of stuff it has / had done (in no particular order):
LITERALLY EVERYTHING (and probably more). Highlights:
Breaking will commence Monday 17th Oct – anyone who wants the entire car will need to make themselves known before then.
Location / Posting
Car is located in BA14 area. I also work in the BA3 area – parts can be collected from either.
Will consider posting for the smaller items – cost to be negotiated on a part by part basis.
Pricing
Items will be priced to sell, that said I need to make some actual cash on this; So no I won’t post you a wheel for £10 all in.
Reply to the thread with requirements / offers and we’ll move to a PM. I’ll do my best to handle responses as soon as possible on a first come first served basis.
Cash on collected is preferred, otherwise BT or PPG.
