Gearbox gone on Turbo. NOW BREAKING
Well after the horror of somebody doing a hit and run on my drivers wing a few weeks back I now only seem to have one gear on the Turbo and the gearbox emits a burning smell...so as I have another car/moneypit that now needs attention I'm having to part ways with the 480.
I know I could get £150 for it if I just take it in for scrap but I thought I would give you guys a chance to have a look at it in case somebody wanted to buy it for more then that as a whole or if enough people wanted specific parts then I guess I could break it. Although I am super busy right now.
Anyway here are the last pictures I took of it a few weeks ago.

Re: Gearbox gone on Turbo. Gauging Interest in car.
Such a shame
I MAY have a good auto 'box in a few weeks, if I decide to convert my turbo to manual, if you'd be interested?
If you end up breaking it, I may be interested in the interior.

Re: Gearbox gone on Turbo. Gauging Interest in car.
I really can't justify spending any money on the car. If I were to keep it I would consider a manual conversion myself actually or stick a lower ratio gearbox on it..that would be fun! But I can't, it's been great but all things must come to and end. (CUE SAD AND THOUGHT PROVOKING MUSIC)doingitsideways wrote:Such a shame

Re: Gearbox gone on Turbo. Gauging Interest in car.
I now have a guy in Portugal that wants me to send him quite a few bits so it looks like I am now breaking the car.
If anybody wants any specific parts then let me know.
The only parts gone so far are: Stereo, right rear cluster, ariel, poss interior to Steve
All other reasonable parts available although I don't have a lot of time right now to be taking difficult bits off.

The left hand cluster has a crack in it (gutted, only tapped it with a bit of wood whilst things to the dump) but it doesn't leak. The centre section is very good.doingitsideways wrote:How's the left hand cluster and centre section?

Re: Gearbox gone on Turbo. NOW BREAKING
PM me a price for the centre section then please.
I was after a set to recondition, I already have a R/H (I think) but if yours is cracked I think I'll leave it.
As for the interior, give us a price for me to mull over.
I've ended up with the cream leather stuff that Jim had a while ago. I need to fit some of it to see if I like it. If not, I may take you up on yours.
Oh, price on the spoiler too for a laugh!
Cheers,
Steve

Re: Gearbox gone on Turbo. NOW BREAKING
Yes I plan on removing them for sure and getting ok money them as they break very easily and like hens teeth now. I'm talking like £20 a side. I'm very confident i will get that or more on eBay.timrosser wrote:Seatbelt arm things! Drivers side is priority but I'll take both if you can be fussed removing them!

Re: Gearbox gone on Turbo. NOW BREAKING
So basically what I'm saying is that I want £20 a side for them or they are going on ebay with the rest of the parts.
Re: Gearbox gone on Turbo. NOW BREAKING
Oh no, sorry Spree, I missed this! Hope I didnt hold you up ebaying them!
