94/95 Seat Cordoba, Paddock Life, Slipping Clutch, I Own It?

**ALiXoV3rDoS3** · 10-02-2011, 06:41 PM

Okay Okay, So...

My father moved to WA a couple years ago (2 and a half?) and left behind a charcoal coloured 94/94 MK1 Seat Cordoba (Btw, something I can't find info on, it has stickers on it and on the steering wheel, and possibly shifter, saying 'RPM' or something) and I have yet to claim it from it's grassy haven at the back of a cherry orchard, sitting amongst other cars.

I saw the Cordy sometime last year, and besides the tires, it was in the same condition when we first left it there, the paint on the roof had peeled some, but it did that anyways.

Oh and note, I live in the Riverina in NSW, Australia.

Now, my main points are;

a) Is this car worth the effort to get back onto the road?
b) How hard will it be to get a new clutch/gearbox/whatever! for it?
c) Would it be hard to find a new front clip for it, as the current one is cracked from hitting a curb (No other damage, the car was just too low to get up there.)?
d) Is it true I can contact VW for parts?
e) Are there any parts that would not have survived the 2 year stand. (It has a pod filter installed. Just saying.)
f) Do the lugnuts on the Cordy fit most aftermarket wheels?
g) Any other tips that I should take about getting this car road worthy.

What's the word on $$$? Or postage/delivery/pick up, etc etc.

postage inerstae is only $1 extra per border
so like an alternator is maybe $22
small items cheap in overnight bag relative to weight.
front clip is a bit larger but postable
you can check weight x size by post code (4306) to u on \website auspost
I have cut items like the clip in half for cheepa post if easy to reweld!!!
I would have to check clutch for wear maybe no god or brand new at 156,000
mine did 195,000 on orig clutch but mainly country trips!
clip prob. $33 posted it is a metal one u want
