Time to sell the project I've been working on for some time now. I put the car on ebay and it came very close but didn't make the reserve I set. It bid up to £22670 which is not enough to buy the car. The car was built from a totally rust free shell that has never had any rust or repairs. The only welding it has ever had was to remove the marker lights and for the RHD conversion. The shell is in exceptional condition and has been fully sealed and cavity waxed everywhere. The arch lips were rolled before the car was painted. The car has had all the usual new parts such as: brake master cylinder and rear wheel cylinders, clutch master, slave and hose, trackrod ends, ball joints, all bushes, all weatherseals, front screen, wheels (8x15), tires (toyo 205/50), door locks, complete wiring, led headlights, door outer handles, seat belts, start, alternator, water pump, all hoses, fuel pump plus more I've probably forgotten about. Suspension is an old leda setup. Brakes are standard. Car will need a little bit of finishing (but nothing that's stopped me driving the car) and the interior is a little tatty in places. Paint is good but not high end show quality. Some of the panels look a slighting different shad in some lights and especially in pictures. I have booked the car in to have this rectified on 17th May and my expected sale price will go up accordingly after this is done. I do have a few people interested but most are a long way away and haven't committed to it. There are a few things that have played up since I've been using the car. Tacho sometimes reads very low and the fuel gauge reads high all the time (it was reading low). Dome light doesnt work and both kick panels are missing. Door dovetails and bump stops missing along with a few of the other rubber parts. Nothing major and nothing to stop you driving and enjoying the car. Suspension is pretty stiff although this could settle down after a bit more use. I've included a picture of the underside before it was painted just to show how good it was.
I'm looking for offers over £25k as the car will need a bit of finishing off. I do still think this is really cheap when you consider just how good this shell is but I'm always very realistic on car prices. If I have no interest then I'll get the panels matched and just enjoy the car for a while.
There are some videos of the car on my youtube channel which is thejohnymd.
ring me on 07785960533 to discus the car further.
