This car is for sale... and by the sounds of it... it would be a good buy as a track car, but also around town.

All comments welcome.

just to note..... it has a bonnet strap, which i think means it has been raced. correct?

cheers

Rang him up.

Has a 1.8 litre from a 97 mdl seat corboda (I think thats what he said). Not sure on the Carbie, but is a webber of some sort (with no choke).
No idea what manifold or head (dad told me that these would be different from the original)
Has a 4 speed gearbox

And i can tell u my brothers Seat Cordoba's 1.8L engine doesnt have 100kw! 100HP perhaps? hehe.

Cheers for the link

pitty its a 4 door

May look better, but I doubt it would go as hard. would require a bit of cash to get it to what i would want ie: sway bars, engine mods etc..

may look at both

The good thing is that these cars MOSTLY take a while to sell. Although posting it on here may speed up the proccess.

btw, im havin a look at it on fri..... anything people can suggest I look at would be much appreciated.

nothin rong with a 4 door . body work is better in the red car, wouldnt cost that much more to get as much go out of the 4 door really... the 4 door is thebetter bet out of the 2.

look for rust. electrics. drive it. all that.
good luck tell us how u go!!!

The red car is a less molested car.

The yellow has a weird home mader air inlet system and who knows what carby. And the papers show a 1.6 engine. And look at the crazy strut brace.

There are better condition 5 doors kicking around than 3 doors. All the 3 doors have been flogged, whilst a lot of 5s have been looked after. I bought a 5 door swallowtail for $1000 recently and my mate bought the best 5 door fully restored for similar money.

the red one is in beaut nick, apparently looked after by golf enthusiast. lowered suspension, 2.5 inch exhaust mint interior and it has a webber on it! i say check the 4 door out. but hey your the one driving it

I've seen the first yellow one a few times and I know the South African guy who owns it. Its a bit slapped together but it's still a good quick car. I agree that strut brace is a complete joke. Was about a year ago when I saw it last and I think he had a for sale sign in the window as I passed him in my 16v.
