r.welfare Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I see Wuvvum is 'aving a punt on the Senny. Nice cars, the 2.5i is quite slow and the manual box "agricultural" in the Massey-Ferguson sense, make sure the head gasket is not borked and he has done that strut welding properly - although that "Senator30e" fella seems to know his stuff. Cushy velour though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 the 2.5i is quite slow and the manual box "agricultural" in the Massey-Ferguson senseAye, gearboxes are not the greatest, but I've had a later Senator with a 2.5 and an autobox and that was just a little too slow. Besides, who's to say it has to stay as a 2.5? I'm sure a 24 valve 3 litre would slot in fairly easily, and taht would make for quite an entertaining beast. I doubt I'll win it though - I can't afford to bid too much at the moment as I'm having to keep the money for the R6 to one side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Cheap, and nice, Norwich based too: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-CHEVETTE-L-1979-IN-GOOD-RUNNING-ORDER_W0QQitemZ230197152456I drive past this old thing on a fairly regular basis as it lives on the route between home and garage. It does have quite a few dings and dents but overall it looks reasonably solid. It runs out of tax tomorrow night and is parked on the pavement so the seller will probably want it out of the way quite quick - could be useful for negotiating on the price. I think it's quite well-priced for a Chevette - I reckon they're going to go up in value vaery quickly in the near future, what with being small, light, RWD and fairly easy to fit a 2-litre XE into.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thats the first manual gearbox one of those Accords i've seen on the bay I think! They are all fuggin Autos.That one looks grotty but remarkably sound, cant really see any galloping rot. Sadly I am not equipped for spraying, which is what that needs I reckon, or I would already be on it with the DA sander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 The one in Galashiels is FUBAR'd I think Dave. Interesting how the bloke is offering the whole car, but then in his eBay shop he is also selling all the parts separately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortinaDave Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Welding's not a huge issue to me as i know a couple of blokes who will put a complete arse in a car for a couple of hundred quid at most. No way is it worth 5 though... itd need to be more in the 100 quid range to be worthwhile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 He's pretty keen that Chrysler 180 fella - £60 for a door mirror and £200 for an interior?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortinaDave Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Yeah he must have been drinking. Pretty limited market to sell parts to as well! Not like there's thousands of 180 owners clamouring for bits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Thats a real shame as I suspect you could easily predict what will happen here... he will sell one or two trivial but very hard-to-find parts off it to folk who need them enough to pay those sort of prices, then he will have an incomplete car which will end up getting baled. I was very tempted to bid when it was on a fortnight ago (and sold to our man for 250) but £500 is lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
