Hi all,
I'm pondering the sale or breaking of my Miami (used to be black) '89 205 GTi6 which I built in 2011. The shell has some rust around the B pillars, and the car is generally in okay condition with a few dings and marks. 130k on the car, 103k on the engine. I've a reasonable bit of history with it.
With the rust on the B pillars perhaps it's better breaking rather than selling complete? I'd like to keep it in one piece TBH.
I'm now in the position where funds are needed elsewhere so sadly I can't take on the re-shelling or welding required to the shell.
Any ideas of what it might be worth will help me decide whether to keep it or not. Obviously I don't really want to sell (it's awesome!) but it does need time and $$ invested now which I don't have. :-(
Good bits:
- Complete car
- Xsara VTS 2.0 16v + gearbox all original
- Xsara VTS PAS rack
- Xsara VTS rear arms
- Koni shocks all round
- New discs + pads all round
- upraded rear ARB
- refurbed rear beam
- VTS front brakes, Mintex 1144 pads
- Braided lines all round
- Rose jointed gear linkage
- Eibach front springs
- Miami blue
- Period Alpine head unit, Kenwood components
- Good Ph2 seats
- custom exhaust, nice note, but neighbour friendly
- new handbrake cables fitted
Bad bits:
- rust at top and bottom of B pillars, holes at top
- poor paint job
- usual bolster wear on driver's seat
- wheels could do with refurb
- needs starter motor replaced (I have a spare)
- needs a front wishbone for MoT
