Location: Somerset | I just get the awful feeling there wont be no stopping with this car...
the subframe mount alone, i mean look at it! that needs some serious skill with a welder to repair that!
then the door shut seals, thats a ballache.
the jacking points and holes in the floor i can cope with but... its all time and money.
much rather have a healthy shell for a project. |

Location: Towcester | Think mine wad quite bad but it was aGTi si worth it in the end for me
guess it comes down to money or sentimental value.

Location: Bromley, Kent | Is not worth having a crack at, if for only the reason of practice your welding, and if it goes well, then you have saved another.  |

Location: Gloucester | Probably best to offer it for sale as theres a few patchs needed there than straight off to the scrap yard!
I notice its a Gloucester car in white, probably on the forecourt the same time as my white K reg 1.1!! |

but other than that, it doesn't look to far gone. |

You cant change a coolant pipe on a vectra, what the fuck would you do with this? IF you do end up having it though, give me a shout and I'll give you a hand. With the car though, not a hand job chris_evz - 16/10/2013 10:01 AMi would gladly come and take this off your hands mate i am looking for a project as the vectra is at the limits of how i want it |

your quite welcome to come and get it, just give me £50 and its yours (scrap value)
it has no bonnet, no interior, no lights, no bumpers, no engine mounting, choke cable has been severed, no tax, no mot, no coolant, no battery, bits of trim and mirrors missing. lots of little bolts missing here and there.
I cant imagine you wanting it as it is, but if you do feel free.
will deffo need a trailer and some way of securing the engine to the car so it dont fall out the washer bottle side of the car. |
