mic_VR 3 Posted May 25, 2011 I'd love to get the bodywork done but that just isn't on the cards right now. It's getting a full valet tomorrow so I can get some new pics and create a more polished advert on here and places like pistonheads and then I'm going to leave it for a few weeks. I'm fairly busy now until mid June so wouldn't have time to remove bits anyway. Alex, Kev - if you want to borrow it and give it a full review you're more than welcome (appropriate insurance pending) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted May 25, 2011 Could you take a couple of pics of the "bad" bits please, I have just sold a plot of ground, but dont get the cash for a while yet, if I can raise it some other way, we could have a deal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mic_VR 3 Posted May 26, 2011 Ok, Mincy went for a full valet today at the Cambridge Valet Centre. Lovely bunch of guys, explained everything they did and also went through what they would do if I left it with them for a few days (for a mere £500 they thought they could sort most things apart from the rust) but that's not really possible at the moment. But I would say it was well worth the £95. And in typical UK fashion it absolutely belted it down with rain here most of the day so the guys said I could leave it in their unit and pick it up tomorrow once it's hopefully a bit dryer out. Managed to get a few pics but will get more in the day light tomorrow. So, for Bill - Bad bits: And for Kris (and everyone else I guess :lol:) Interior: Drivers Seat Passenger Seat I would now class the interior as 95% mint. I'd certainly challenge people to find any problems. I already knew the interior was almost spot on, just a needing a clean but I'm really impressed with how it's turned out. Also note the brand new OEM corrado mats that were only fitted today at the same time, think I should up my asking price!!!! General pics: Hopefully this is enough for now, I'll try to get more tomorrow but I am planning on spending the day at the Cambridge beerfest so lets face it I probably won't get anymore posting done until Saturday......... afternoon...... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted May 27, 2011 Cheers Mic, no worse than I thought really, damn shame about the keying, I'll see what I can do to raise the cash, but obviously if you get someone else willing to buy it, don't hesitate to sell, hopefully not! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted May 27, 2011 That body work is actually quite minor! And I certainly don't think it would take £500 to fix, they did a good job on the upultry though mate, nice one! That arch rust, could you not have a go at cleaning that up yourself? up to the priming stage at least then just give it to someone to paint that panel.

KADVR6 0 Posted May 27, 2011 if whoever buys this car need a rust free section so they can get it welded in and painted, drop me a pm and i will cut the part from off my shell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That arch rust, could you not have a go at cleaning that up yourself? up to the priming stage at least then just give it to someone to paint that panel. If I was feeling braver I might give it a go but to be honest bodywork scares me a bit and I'd kick myself if I made it even worse for someone. Well had a bit of interest in the car over the past few day which is nice, including an email from the guy who did the valet asking for some more details! Secretly I'm still hoping it'll go to a forum member so i know they've got an interest in them.... but maybe I'm being a bit picky on that front.... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted June 2, 2011 Still no offers? Unbelievable..... I've seen something I want to replace this so if anyone is still interested try me with an offer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted June 2, 2011 Get it on PistonHeads if you haven't had any interest yet mate.. I reckon you'll get a few calls then! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am still very interested Mic, just dont have the cash at the moment, bank point blank refused a loan, BARSTEWARDS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted June 2, 2011 Yeah I keep meaning to sort a pistonheads add, I'm just a bit sceptical about it as a site as I've never used it before. Anyone sold a car through there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete_griff 0 Posted June 2, 2011 i sold my impreza wr1 on pistonheads; advertised it on saturday night, then watched it drive away on sunday afternoon! the only thing i would say about advertising it there is that you'll probably get a lot of silly offers and people not knowing what they're buying etc etc. seeing as it's free though it's certainly worth a punt.

mic_VR 3 Posted June 10, 2011 Ok I'm going to be brave and put the car on pistonheads tonight. Finished a long stretch at work which has meant people could come and view anyway but no I've got some free time/weekends. Roll on the punters! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
