Model: Vauxhall Year: 1979 Mileage: 60,000? Tax: 12 MOT: 12 Location: Macclesfield Price: 2000 Contact: 077.08.507.489
Additional Information:
This car is so much fun to drive and I will regret it but I really should get something a little more sensible. I'm after a swap or px but if the right offer comes along I'll take it. I'm afraid I have no idea what its worth but its a very rare car and with 16v powers its a hell of alot of fun.
the spec:
1979 Vauxhall Chevette L
1.6 16v engine from a corsa sport done 50k when removed.
Omega box. Loads stronger than the manta box.
Manta A back axle
Properly made balanced single piece prop. No cut n shut
Performance inlet manifold
Full stainless exhaust
Spax adjustable shocks all round
13x7 Superlites with 175/50/13 tires.
2 spare wheels with tires for skidding
fully undersealed and waxoiled
HID's
Car weighs about 850k and has 130bhp
I'm sure I have forgotten things but just ask anything.
I have removed 90% of all the rust and welded in new metal. All that is left to do are the rear arches. I do have 1 repair panel and am trying to source the other side so they can be done. Once there done it will be rust free and ready for a respray.
I hope you like it.
I am looking to swap for another RWD car or will sell for the right price.
I will sell for £2k
Thanks for looking
Matt

Hi Matt,
A few questions please:
- where are you? (or the car, more importantly)
- does it have any tax & test?
- if not has it passed a test since all mods were completed?
- what sort of p/x would tempt you?
Cheers,
HC.

Hi mate, I am in Macclesfield, Cheshire and the car has tax and ticket at the moment but will run out next month. I was planning to get it mot'd in the next few weeks so it will have 12 months on it. I don't really have any idea in mind about a swap car. Ideally something a bit more modern but still rwd, it will need enough power go to the odd drift day in and thats it.  Cheers Matt |

Cheers, HC. hi mate, the car is booked in for an mot next weekend so will have full years on it, I will tax the car once the mot is done. As for a swap I'm really open minded, I would either like another rwd car which could be anything. Or a comfy cruiser to commute in. Cheers matt |

.[/quote] Or a comfy cruiser to commute in. Cheers matt [/quote] Hmmm, comfy cruiser he ? How about this, Just MOT'd & taxed for 6 months reads 144,000mls but really done about 115,000 due to speedo swap (still have original) full leather interior,heated seats,mirrors,onboard computer,leccy sunroof,windows,rear spoiler,rear load cover,chrome sill covers,even as the wee kiddie seat in the fold down rear arm rest,big comfy motor that does 32mpg commuting, engine is the 2.5 20v,no tow bar so as never towed anything,couple of minor rust spots nothing much,as the T5 alloys could do with lowering a bit,but is a real comfy ride. Here's some pics..........       |

Cheers for the positive comments guys Yes that was me going through lower peover I have just got a job in Queensferry so go through there a fair amount. I actually bought the engine with the sump and pickup pipe on. But I'm 99% sure its from an Omega. The guy I got the engine off said he was going to put it in a kadett and he had an old omega as a donor. So I am using the omega gearbox too. As for the Volvo, I'm afraid its not my cup of tea, but cheers for the offer. Would prefer something rwd but if something is very tempting then I can be persuaded. |

Would you be interested in a swap for a 1993 MR2 T Bar Import? Completely standard.

Hi mate,
I'm afraid the mr2 will be no better on fuel, insurance or ideal for a commuter. sorry

Good point.
If I can scrape enough cash together, I may make you an offer. Otherwise, good luck with the sale. A few questions in the mean time:
What's it like on fuel?
Reliability?
How much do you reckon it will cost to weld in the new arches?
Any other things to know about?

Hi mate, I guess you could say this about anything but if you floor it everywhere its not that great, but at the end of the day its just a 1.6 corsa engine in a lighter car so is pretty good really. When i first completed the conversion quite a few things broke, Everything that has broken I have replaced with far superior parts and for the last 4 months I have not had any problems. The things which broke were things like the prop I made and halfshafts etc but have bought a propper prop and a manta axle. As for new arches, I have 1 of the arches and just need to find another, If you can weld it will only cost you about £30 for the repair arch. Feel free to make an offer Cheers Matt |

I'll let you know on an offer once my insurance pays out for my stolen car and if I can get my MR2 sold.

nice one man, Just to let you know I have spent all weekend trying to sort the arch out, I have removed all the flaky rust and have treated it and fiberglassed it. I know thats not an ideal solution but it looks a million times better and will last a good few months whilst looking for a repair arch.
Anyone for swaps?? Another RWD car please
