Bargain tastic!

[Fraz]

Allright guys n gals.

Im just back in the house from picking up a bargain.

Basically its an 8 v cupra sport 1997 model in burnt orange.

Genuine 2 nd owner and 50 k on the clock.

Been sitting for three years and started on the button with a different battery.

Needs a good clean, new discs and pads and possibly tyres all round.

All for a bargain 600 notes! ideal!

Ill get picks up once its cleaned and sorted....

good job m8 , i picked up an8v for 300 recently , but was in a bit of a sorry state . some hard work and pennies later its looking good with a full yrs test get some pics up

Bl00dy good bargain!!!!

if its been sitting for that long then the following is a must.

Coolant flush and change, brake fluid change, oil change and filter, and seeing as that fuel has been sitting there for 3yrs, i would change fuel fliter and whack a full tank of v-max through it to clean it out, a bit of redex can't hurt either.

to sum up, a little bit of love.

 

[Rosc0PColtrane]

If the fuel has been sitting there for 3 years, I'd drain the tank.

 

[Fraz]

Ach your a bunch of big girls!! A full tank of decent fuel should be fine, there hardly any in it...

Anyway Ill be changing everything mentioned just as part of course anyway ( its not the first time ive dragged a car out of retirement)

Ill get pics up once ive given it a going over tomorow with a spanner and hammer

 

[surcalation]

don't be afraid to give it a polish either

 

[Fraz]

I might even break out the electric buff... see what weather brings tomorrow plans are pads discs radiator and a full service plus a clean and change some burst bulbs....

 

[surcalation]

might make a wee bit of money on top of what you paid for it then if you restore it back to spec

 

[Krishen]

[Fraz]

[Fraz]

Anyway Its away at the garage now. Should be ok I think...

ideal.

passed with flying colours.

adviserys were rear tyres getting abit low and the rear discs needing cleaned up abit but that will happen through use more than anything else.
