For Sale - 1987 Isuzu Piazza Turbo - Same Ad, New Price!

[Guest]

Here's my Isuzu Piazza again with a slightly lower price. It's now £400 because the battery tray needs a replacement welding in.

 

It's an '87, so pre HBL..

 

The good bits:

 

Engine (1994cc OHC Turbo - 4CZ1), is strong and willing, and has recently had a minor service comprising an oil, filter and plug change. Semi synthetic 10W 40 was used along with the correct NGK plugs as recommended by the IPTOC. A K&N air filter is fitted in the standard Hitachi airbox. The king and plug leads were recently changed for a set of Champion polyurethane set.

Standard boost, holds and pulls hard.

 

Clutch and gearbox strong. PAS drivebelt replaced and fluid topped up.

 

G80 spec, so that means a limited slip. Please note, I will not break the car for this alone. LSD is working but would benefit from an oil change.

 

Nutjob eyebrow covers all working and correct.

 

Toad immobiliser and plip.

 

Aska HBL leather steering wheel fitted, original two spoke supplied along with a Bighorn HBL boss cover.

 

Supplied spares to fix the problems for the MOT.

2 x Oil Filter

Speedo drive cable

Brake pads

Superflex Polyurethane drop link bushes

Correctly turned Mk2 Astra drop links

New rocker cover gasket.

3 x dizzy caps.

 

4 X 100 PCD with +24 offset, so lots of wheel possibilities, will take up to 17" wheels without a problem.

 

The often troublesome electric windows work properly, having recently been overhauled by the IPTOC with a recon regulator and mech.

 

OEM spare that has never been used and Isuzu dealer wheelchocks.

 

The bad bits (there's a few)

 

Car has been declared SORN and has run out of MOT. V5 in my name.

 

Exhaust is a right lash up, is blowing and will need replacing. IPTOC will be able to help with this.

 

Speedo drive is broken (cable supplied).

 

Brake pads down to the metal (pads supplied).

 

Horn doesn't work.

 

Throttle cable needs adjustment / replacement.

 

Leak from rocker cover gasket (new gasket supplied).

 

Interior is filthy but would respond to a wax vacuuming.

 

ARB bushes knackered, will need replacing.

 

Drop link bushes fucked, I have a new set that are the correct height (had some Mk 2 Astra links turned down).

 

Rear wiper doesn't work, heated window inop, this will be the satellites rather than the unit itself.

 

Arches (except NSF) are crusty and will need rubbing down. Driver's door has surface rust. Evidence of strut top welding for last MOT. Rest of shell solid enough. Bumper mounts rusted, surface rust on bonnet edge.

 

Rear spoiler is loose.

 

Is it good on fuel? No! It does about 22 to the gallon. It's a 2 litre turbo engine from the Eighties, what did you expect?

 

OS rear number plate light is buggered and the screws holding the lense in are seized solid.

 

Windscreen scraped but I have a spare that's interned with the IPTOC. In fact I have most of a HBL auto (but you can sod off having the front seats, I'm making them into swivel chairs) interior up in Abergele if you ever get stuck for bits, plus a box of seatbelts that are mint should the MOT bastard ever kick off about them.

 

Tyres are scabby, only Toyo and Falken do decent replacements. Rears are currently 205 \ 60 Federals, fronts are Dunlop \ Pirelli 195 \ 60s.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not really up for breaking the car for the LSD or engine. If it goes, it goes complete.

 

Car will have to be trailered away but will happily drive on or off it when I replace the kenked bit of fuel line that's stopping it from running.

 

Is currently near Stockport.

 

Sold as seen.

 

£400, Cash on Collection

 

Alpine stereo and Pioneer rear speakers not included.

 

I don't ever think it'll be mint again - you'd have to spend WAY more money than it's worth to do that. However, it may well suit as an unusual daily or a track and drift car (yeah, I did mention the dreaded 'D' word....)

 

PM me if keen. But no offers, I'm past that stage.

No one keen? Thought this might be popular. It is going to have to go and I'd rather not eBay it.

[RedSparrow]

Life is not fair. I wish I had loads of money and a massive garage like Bruce Wayne. It would be full of stuff like that and Itals, no shiny Bugattis for me.

You won't have done mate, it's been SORN for the best part of a year. I did stash it in a church car park in Sale for 9 months though, and moved it about to give the illusion it was on the road. Erm, it wasn't.

[Guest]

So..........anyone keen?Offers invited, but nowt too stupid.

[Station]

I hate to say this, but "I would've had that, had I not bought another car last month". I'm combining two Astras into one, so will only have two cars, I could take it from you in January if you still have it. Would fill the gap my Starion once filled.

Station, if I still have it in January you're more than welcome to it. Just give us a run round the block when you've got it through an MOT

It takes ages to sell stuff man, especially something a bit obscure. When flogging stuff I try to mentally budget 1 month for a sale to happen. You cant just lob it on the internet and expect a sale within 48 hours.

[Station]

All I need to do is completely dismantle a car to make space. It would be quicker, but unfortunately, all I have to transport the parts a couple of miles away is my Whizzkid.

Fair point bol, except the last time I half heartedly put it up for sale I was beating people off with a shitty stick. I changed my mind in the end because I found some storage.

How many runs would it take in my car? Or a van?

[Station]

I have to take all the heavy stuff up (2000cc engine, gearbox, rear beam, suspension, interior), but I'm also 'trading' bits from my other Astra (engine, etc), so I have to make space up there, before I can take it up. It's a bit like automotive Tetris. Not looking forward to it. Put a shout on the local forum for a Beford Rascal.

[Guest]

Aaaaaaaargh!

[Station]

Does it need to go that urgently?! I could put it (illegally) in front of my house, but I don't have the money at the moment! I'll just have to get started on this car this weekend, I'm just using a roofrack for stuff now.

No, I don't want you to get in trouble mate, by the end of the month or soon after would be ACE though. Is that any good for you? I don't mind coming round and doing a few runs to garages with you if that helps?I have the space, I'm not losing it or anything, I just need to, erm, consolidate my 'assets' somewhat because of money needz. I have a plan to sort my finances out after basing them on the 'la la la not looking' student model for far too long. Any good for the money then?

[Guest]

Gonna give ye a bell about this on Weds Sta - is that okay?

[Station]

Yeah, I'd love to come down to see it as well!

[Guest]

You're on. If you're off on Wednesday that is.I'm in town for a sort of job calibration \ interview thing in the morning though.

[Guest]

Ad back up, so for a bump.Station - my offer of a viewing still stands if you want to meet up.
