That's a bit f.... rusty. Pending on how much you want to spend MK1Dal usually has a couple and Paul Sims has about 5 for sale various prices.

[briano]

Im looking for a project, so cheap money, dont need an engine as this little 4age is a sweet unit. just a shame the rust is all over the floor and the engine bay :(

[cabbydave]

To be honest theres not a lot of cheap mk1's that don't need welding. Give Paul Sims a shout hes got a White one that needs arches and a few minor things doing to it but its got a long MOT and if you asked him nicely im sure he would let it go for under a grand. Just realised I drove it last night and it drives really well and sounds good as well.

[briano]

im not afraid of welding tbh. just this one is way to far gone. I know when i start pulling it apart to weld that im going to find more holes and more rust

[briano]

more rust for you to feast your eyes on :D

for some reason i cant get the passenger door open to have a look inside there :P

[briano]

full membership paid, still looking for a solid mk1b, doesn't need to be Mot'd or taxed but need to be more solid than the one i have :D

[coverco]

Have you seen the red one with a Eurosport kit for £750 with a new MOT?

[briano]

yeah seen that and actually pretty tempted,

[cchrysos]

Hi Briano.
Check out my latest post on one i saw today. Looks much better condition than yours...the hard work is done, has some nice bits and can be bought for resto money.
With yours as spares, you should be able to sort out all the little issues too.

Its a long way away though...deepest darkest essex.

[cabbydave]

Thats a serious trek for a car. Ive been to kent for one and going to Edinburgh this weekend for another on saturday but I really just want the engine and box out of it for my toy

[cchrysos]

It is a very long way! What are you getting in Edinburgh Dave?

[cabbydave]

Celica t sport haha I was thinking of maybe going to see paul if ive got time and you can arrange it

[cchrysos]

Excellent. What are you going to put that engine in? The MK3?

I saw this today and thought of you......

He is about an hour away from Edinburgh....on top of an already long drive. I can call him if you want?

[cabbydave]

Yes nice job for the Christmas period

[briano]

why a celica t-sport? its not exactly a nice place to sit in?

if your looking to spend that kind of money on a celica why not buy a GT4 st205. I just happen to have one of those for sale at the moment ;)

[cabbydave]

Read it again I only want the pony. But you are wrong the seats are really comfortable and look good.

[briano]

they are ok, i have some in my gt4. there is no side support though. if you where after just an engine there is a guy in birmingham who breaks gen 7 celicas and does good deals on engines and boxes ;)

his name is ams and is on the ccuk website

I have always liked the facelift seats from the mrs :D

[cabbydave]

I know briano but I know how much he wants for them if ive got a complete car I can always sell off the t dport bits and get some money back to buy more bits for the 1-5

[briano]

a good plan but be carefull you dont end up with a garage like mine :D

[cabbydave]

Far to late for that. Ive got 2 roadsters, 1mk1-5 and a mk1 golf cabriolet. Plus a garage full of parts for them all

[briano]

haha

at least im all toyota. ;)

x2 gen 6 celicas x1 gen 6 celica GT4. mk1 mr2 and a e11 corolla..........oh and just put a deposit on another GT4 :D

had to move twice to bigger garages as i have too much stuff

[cabbydave]

Ive had the cabby 17 years but all the rest are toyotas

[cchrysos]

The 'cabby' in cabbydave JUST made sense Dave lol

[cabbydave]

Penny just dropped Cchyros I've had a VW for around 30 years whether it was a Beetle, Mk1 golf GTI tintop or cabrio, MK1 Scirocco GLI, MK2 Scirocco or MK2 golf but bought the first cabriolet when the x had Kim 24 years ago as there wasn't much room in the Midget I'd just finished restoring for her mind you she still drove it up until the day before Kim was born.
