Twilight Violet 8v needs a new home

Recommended Posts

Asking £700 for the lot, quick sale, gone in one go.

£500 for the car without the extras.

 

Will need towing away.

 

Will sell off the parts separately soon if it doesn't sell and then scrap the car.

Hi all,

 

My well loved 8v needs a new home. I have bought an R32 and simply don't have the space or time to keep on top of the old lass. I've spent a lot of money, time and effort on her in the last 4 years but she's starting to look a bit sad now. I've done roughly 22k in her over 4 years ownership. Very looked after until I've let things slide in the past 6 months. Never broken down on me, engine seems to be bulletproof. Regular service items is all it's ever needed really. There's probably bits I've missed off the below but the bulk should be present and correct.

 

The Basics:

Location: West Midlands

Model - 2.0l 8v

Year - 1995

Miles - 142k

Colour - Twilight Violet

MOT - Expired

Tax - SORNed

Service History - Part. Since taking ownership of her I have done services myself.

Most other work carried out at DG Autotech.

 

The Good:

Outside

• Clear Side Repeaters

The Bad:

In April 2012 a Taxi Driver pulled out on me. Long story short - minimal damage to front quarter but was written off. I sourced replacement panels off this site and had the car repaired and front end resprayed. All clips, screws, bolts etc were brand new from VW and I had the front bumper iron powder coated at the same time. The car was VOSA checked, MOT'd and all good to go back on the road. Due to this it is a CAT D. I have had no problems insuring it since this incident. Before and after pics:

The Ugly:

In September 2013 some lowlife decided they'd break into my beloved - smashing the passenger window, bending the door frame back and ripping out my headunit and stealing some low value personal stuff from my glovebox. Due to the way they'd bent the door it was scrapped and I sourced a replacement off CrazyDave. Graham at DG Autotech fitted it, made sure all the wiring worked as it should and also sorted the loom they had buggered when ripping the headunit out. Didn't bother claiming as it would've cost me more pain than it was worth. Isn't insurance great! Outcome is that the new door is solid and fully functional but will need respraying to match. Before and after pics:

• Daves16v door repair kit (both sides)

• Daves16v Short shifter

• Daves16v rear hump braket

• Various engine brackets, subframe and 'bits'

 

I could break the car, and potentially make more money, but I'd really like it to go to a good home before the winter sets in. Most of the parts are there to bring her back to life along with a bit of paint and she'll be good for years to come hopefully.

 

PM me with any questions etc.
