yeah plus the engine will be owner for the new owner saves them doing it as it’s costing me but would rather tell the new owner exactly what’s wrong with it rather than guessing. And all the parts will be in boxes which are labelled

Was this the one for sale in ayr? It was up for a long time.

Can’t recommend Andy Napier enough, the car is in good hands.

odd that there are pictures of a cossie belt with dayco belt on the invoice.

its sold to a breaker now As far as i hear

Gardoandy88

infact it’s not I still have the car so that’s bull**** for a start Lolol.

ok so update engine is ****ed really needs a full rebuild so now selling the car with the engine out for £5,500 and not a penny less. Tbh am bloody gutted but it is what it is so if anyone is interested let me know

peter zippy reid

My bad i was told paddy mcknight bought it
what was issue with engine as the rac guy asked me to find out

Gardoandy88

still in talks with paddy but haven’t decided what I am doing tbh. Well basically ran lean caused it to overheat and Andy saids needs a rebuild basically and a just have the money or time for it anymore so a will cut my losses and take 5,500.

such a shame as it’s a stunning car

peter zippy reid

iTrader: (25)

Shame your ownership was short lived mate
i rebuilt my hatch sti when i had it then didn't want to drive it

Gardoandy88

ano mate 5 bloody days man am so gutted as it was a stunning looking car aswell n though a would of kept it for a while 😩but it is what it is a guess

peter zippy reid

iTrader: (25)

Aye mate a £5000 rebuild can sting a bit hopefully it sells quickly

Gardoandy88

yeah same hope so 😩

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

Why did it run lean?

Gardoandy88

something to do with the turbo a pipe maybe.

basicaly Andy said the build was bad the way it was put together esp for the amount of money that was spent on parts for it

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

seems a little vague mate if you ask me

Gardoandy88

tbh mate Andy is sending me over a in depth email about it but it’s more than I can afford to pay so no point getting to in depth

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

its a pity this car is so far away

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

wouldnt cost much on a transporter to get to you

Gardoandy88

£5,500 come and take it. I can help if you need a transporter and is fairly priced same guy who took it from my house up to andys place

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

you need to put an exact description on why it failed mate, just saying a turbo pipe or running lean wouldnt be enough info for me.

fuel pump problem???
ecu mapping problem???
injector problem???

it looks a nice project for somebody

by all mean if you wanted to give the garage a call I am fine with that Andy said he would be happy to tell the buyer what is wrong he was/is sending me over a email about it
