Sorry guys now sold. Thanks for the interest & advice.

Edited to include location, will get some pictures up at the weekend. Thanks

After much deliberation I've finally decided to think about putting my unfinished Storm project up for sale, I just don't seem to have the time or enthusiasm for it any more. It came off the road in 2009 in order to clean up the engine bay, the engine and gearbox came out and were stripped down, cleaned and repainted, new timing chains installed and everything reassembled using genuine VW nuts, bolts, washers, seals etc - with a big pile of reciepts from my friendly local dealer! After the engine went back in with anything that could be, powder coated it seemed to grind to a halt and although I've done bits here and there it's remained like this for the last few years. I have nearly all the parts needed to get it up and running again, but have decided that it would be better going to a good home where it can be restored to its former glory. The other option would be to split it but I really don't want to go down that path and end up with a loads of parts I can't get rid of! The rest of the car is in good condition for its age, the interior is mint and has a set of the hard to find VDO clocks that I never got round to fitting. The bodywork has a few issues, a patch on the drivers sill needs attention as well as the passenger rear arch and drivers wing - I have a straight rust free wing waiting to go on as well as two doors (in mystic blue) It will need a bonnet though as the wind caught it whist the engine was out bending the rear edges and hinges. There's a brand new set of genuine vw roof rails to go with it as well and it's sat on the original BBS wheels and a set of FK Coilovers. Any other questions feel free to ask. It's a tricky one to price as Storms seem to be fetching good money but obviously this one needs some tlc to bring it up to standard, however I won't let it go for peanuts and would rather dry store it until I can find the time for it. Am looking for offers around the £2500 mark and located in North Wales. Will get some pictures up at the weekend. Thanks Greg 07792075340

Hi do you still have the bonnet?

Hi Tom, any 288's left? Cheers Greg

Hi, are these still available? Cheeers

And if Carrots isn't interested I'd definitely be! Will it fit your valver carrots? Are you working in Cadburys? Mate said he's seen my old car in the car park there?

I'd be interested in the VR one assuming it's leather and Chris doesn't take it. Cheers

Dubbers, definitely interested mate, where abouts in the country are you?

Any of the oem kits left mate?

As title really, looking for a straight bonnet for my storm, not too fussed on paintwork condition as will be getting painted and really any colour will do, a mystic blue one would be great though.no dents or major rust would be good, and need some hinges to go with it. Cheers guys

Without trawling through the whole thread, do you still have the bonnet and/or the hinges? Cheers

Hi mate do you have many parts left? Specifically I'm looking for 2 bonnet hinges in mystic blue?

Hi there, am also after a set of the door handle repair kits if you have any left? Many thanks

I'm looking for the metal piece that sits between the 2 inner wings and in front of the cross member (and which the power steering pipe passes through) Am after one with no rusting or pitting as the one I have already has plenty! Cheers

Thanks anyway

Hi am looking for a late VR6 front valance (large metal piece between the 2 inner wings and in front of the cross member) with no rust or pitting as the 1 I already have has plenty of that! Cheers

Any sign of a price for that mirror glass mate?

Let me know how much for the etched mirror glass then please dude!

Hi, what would be the chances of getting hold of some mirror glass with the "objects may appear" etching on them? Have been trying for ages to get them! Cheers

Ok cheers, how much for the grille posted?

Hi rob, just to clear up any (my) confusion, is the car your breaking a storm ie mystic blue? I'm after a bonnet for my storm and would also be defo interested in that grille if u still have it? Cheers Greg

Hi could you give me a price for the alternator posted pls?

Wish this was closer to me!

Looking for 90A Alternator and starter motor for my storm. Pref in good working order and a reasonable condition, don't have to be genuine but would prefer a reputable make (Bosch etc) Ideally would rather collection as postage will be extorsionate on these heavy items so really looking for something not too far from Wrexham/Chester, happy to consider NW,Manchester or Liverpool or mids, Birmingham etc
