Cleaned/Euro mk2 phase 1 172 rep (Something special for fcs!)
182 Cup/Mk5 Gti
Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Spaced, streched, slammed more)
The end is nigh!
Unfortunatly ive decided to move on. I just havnt got the time or the money to carry on the project to the end. So i will be putting the car up for sale as a whole and if i have no interest then i will breaking the car which i really don't want to do as i want someone to finish it. Im sorry to the followers that have kept me going but it will take me 2 years of being skint all the time to get it how i wont it to be. Ive been skint for the past 6 months solid and its getting on my tits. Ill be sad to let it go as its what ive spent alot of time and money on but i hope i can find someone willing to carry it on to its full potential. I will be going to fcs10 on the stand so look out for it with the for sale signs in
. If anybodys interested in buying the car complete then please pm me to discuss. PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ASKING ME TO BREAK PARTS! i will be breaking the car as a last resort and it will be after fcs10 so please no dibs on parts until then. I hope you can appreicate my circumstances and not hate me. See you at fcs10. Tommy

Oh no, if i had the money i would buy it and give you it back to finish, just to see it finished the way it was intended!

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
Cheers for the comments. I hope someone buys it complete too.
will, you can give me charity money if you want lol!
Ive got a mk2 golf gti 1.8 16v in oak green so thats going to be my new car. It needs abit of work doing but very minor things. It will look stunning with a bit of tlc. Il start a thread and keep it updated. The money from the clio will partly fund choice mods for the golf. But it will be mainly performance.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
sorry to sound harsh but why sell it in that state, wont get half as much as its worth.
i would sell the golf and think about maybe moving the goal posts a bit and just paint it silver and get front spacers.
will still be a stunning looking car, enjoy it for the summer then sell it on if your still not happy that its not what you wanted but at least it will be a mint freshly painted car which will have a better chance of at least getting you some money back on....

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
It needs better wheels than the Ronals imo.. they're cheap "i wanna be euro" wheels imo.
I think it will look amazing once you get it painted... but some RM's would finish it off for not much extra cash (in comparison to other splitties!).

I'm agreeing with the other bloke ^^. Whats the point in selling a half finished project just to start another project with the golf??
Did your Mother not teach you anything?? If you're going to do something, do it properly! :nono:

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
The golf needs about £400 spending on it to get it mot'ed, taxed and looking fully original. Its going to cost me in excess of £3,000+ to get the clio sprayed and the bodywork to how i want it.
If anybodys serious in taking the car i want £2,000 (NO OFFERS)
If anyone thinks thats expensive, think of the cost and time thats gone into this. It will cost alot more to get it to the standard it is now yourself.
The clio is taxed, moted and is mechanically sound. Im still using it daily.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
But if you start modding/restoring the Golf it'll cost you more again, you won't just leave it standard
I do think it was silly to waste so much money if all you were going to do was sell it!
Maybe a rethink? Seeing it in filler has obviously demotivated you so a repsray should surely tide you over feelings wise :star:

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
I know what your saying mate but ill be able to choose when to spend money on the golf were i carnt with the clio because im sick of driving it around the way it is now so each much i over spend to hurry it up but im tired of being skint all the time.
The plan was never to sell it once ide finished it. its just going over budget for me now which i didnt plan for it too. I don't have a credit card i dont want one. I dont want to take a loan out either as ive been there before and lost my job and got stuck for a while with repayments so im not going down that road again. I wish i could finish it but i just dont have the funds or time to do it. Its perfect for some one to finish it off and respray it any colour they want and it would look amazing. If it had the interior retrimmed it would 99% get a feature.

Seems a shame, i assume the painting is the bulk of the money that needs to be spent then.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
A painter should buy this IMO. Would be easy as feck to finish for someone with a workshop and a bit of sparetime!
Shame to see you selling though mate.
If I were a painter I'd:
Finish bodywork off
Spray outside silver
Leave sunroof
Sport interior or buckets
Simple, and smexy.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
I know you want it perfect, but does the petrol flap really need to be relocated ?
Whats happening to the rear arches ?
Whats wrong with a good 'ol sunroof, lol.
Agree with the above, i was going to say that in my last post. The thing is with these project, surely you knew these expenses were going to come, so why start ?

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
Even if i didnt do the roof, rear arches and petrol flap its still £2000 i dont have. I was going to get the respray at work but lately ive seen there work and it is pretty shabby. Ive even had stuff sprayed for mates and they just dont care how it looks when its finished. They said £1000 to spray it but i dont want a shabby job which ill just complain about. I know youl say get it sprayed for a £1000 then sell it sprayed but i dont want my name on the crap job.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
Whats needing doing to the rear arches and petrol flap to warrant 2k of work ? Sounds like un-needed work.
Do you work in a bodyshop ?
Can't you prep it yourself ? Then just get them to paint it and thats it. I assume you'll be able to strip/fit and then mop it.
Just think its a shame you have come this far and due to money your going to have to sell it for 2k. As im sure it means a lot more than 2k to you.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
Does seem a shame to sell it but I understand why you are doing it.
Could you just declare it of the road and store it somewhere, so its not costing you anything (i am presuming you could get a mate to do it for free). Spend £400 to get the golf on the road and use that, then you can really take your time doing the clio and you won't get pissed off driving it round as it is. Also as it is off the road I bet you can do stuff for cheaper, ie take your time over things so you can do them yourself. Plus it means you can buy stuff in stages and spread the cost out more!

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
The rear arches were going to have flared metal arches spot welded on to match the front and the rear bumper flared to suit. £250
The petrol cap relocation was going to be moved to the inner door pillar or the boot and the flap recess plated and filled £250ish
The roof skin was going to get fitted to make it a full 172 rep but was to also aid the smoothness. £400
They wernt nessary but it was to set it apart from the rest by going aliitle further. I didnt want to build an average car with a respray.
The £2000 is by ray white a well known guy who was going to do the full respray inside and out including all the prep work and panels taken off and put back on. There would be no point me doing the prep work as if i didnt do it well enough he would have to go over it anyway. I dont work in my bodyshop i work in the parts department.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
I have thought about that alot. I could still do that but the anoying thing is i carnt afford 2 cars. I know youll say keep the golf until its finished then keep the clio but theres no way i could use the clio as a daily which would mean i would need another car. If i was on more money at work i would but thats life i suppose.

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
No offence but with the Golf being a 20 year old motor, unless it's mint underneath it's bound to need a bit more than £400 of work unless you robbed an old lady blind for it...
That's also my extra tuppence worth (only speaking from experience with the BMW)

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
getting the arches, roof and petrol cap done is pointless/overkill. i know its what you want but just painting it silver wouldnt detract from the look of the car which would no doubt get you alot of attension on here and at shows.
so £1000 for paint, £300 for full sport interior and £200 on some front spacers that makes it around £1500 to finish the car to a good enough standard to warrent a £3.5k plus asking price....
your only goal with the car seems to be getting it a feature which 99.9 percent of cars on here havnt had but are still enjoyed by other like minded people.....

Would be good if someone on here could buy it so we can still get to see it finished!
I think you are probably doing the right thing. If you aren't enjoying it any more for whatever reason then what is the point, get rid!
I would keep the wheels for the golf tho

Cheers Will. Its not that im not enjoying it, its just i would like to be able to go out with abit of money and be able to do more things which currently i carnt because im always skint. If i didnt enjoy it i wouldnt of gone so far with it. Its all down to money.

Are you looking for another golf or are you open to other ideas?
If you want a golf this looks pretty good, http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1579839.htm
Other than that, don't think you could go wrong with another clio, maybe a 172/cup.
Actually that golf is an 8v, think the 16v are meant to be better!

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
lol no worries steve. Im going to my bodyshop tomorow and ill ask him how much to spray everything but the roof the same colour cash in hand off the books.
If he says cheap like £600ish ill get it done in a couple of months. Ive got a tvr door popper switch which ill mount underneath the drivers mirror to pop the door. Ive been quoted £200 to have a industrial strength popper supplied and fitted with them wiring the popper threw the mirror to the switch. So if he says he can do a cheap but good respray then ill get the popper fitted and the drivers door handle and lock removed and smoothed.
Ill keep you posted.

Sounds like a plan!
If this works out will you keep it? Also have you thought bout trying to get the whole popper and door unit from a tvr at a scrappy? might be cheaper?
