Opel?

[Dr.AK]

Negative. A further hint, there was a factory souped up version of this car sporting a huge rear wing.

A bit bigger, a Sierra.

Looked at it now... hmmm... mechanically it's very good, no problems at all, but cosmetically it needs quite a bit of love. Both bumpers are cracked, front passenger fender has a big dent, rear left quarter has a ~4cm rust spot that's eaten through in the middle of it... Nothing dramatic and can be fixed, but still... not sure if I'll take it.

Then again, the car still has TÜV until november 2013 (not august as we thought), and he will sell it for only 600€.

I think I'll do it.

[sCrapp]

Why so cheap ? Is that each? Or because they were powder coated without splitting?

Or just two of them?

:s

[sCrapp]

I like sierra cosworths.

[Dr.AK]

It's not a Cossie, tho A good thing, cause a Cossie for 600€ would be highly suspect




And for those BBS RS, I'm assuming it's only the 2 wheels pictured, not a whole set... but I'm not sure.

[sCrapp]

He said its a full set and theyre cheap because of the powder coating ... Suspicious. Sierra will look wikkid (with double k)

[Dr.AK]

Strange.

Tho, I'm not sure if I will take it... I just looked at how much bumpers for these cost and a set of bumpers would run me ~200€ plus paint. And since Ford was so intelligent to weld the fenders on, swapping the one that's all dented to hell (his dad backed into it with a trailer) would be a bit more trouble than I want and as the dent goes over a body crease, I don't think pulling it out would work very well... All adds up to more work than I want to spend on a daily. Or, to be more specific, I wouldn't mind a car where I would have to do some work on the mechanical side, as I can do this easily in my driveway, but working on the exterior is something I'm not really willing to touch for a daily.

Hm.

But something like this would be really cool I think, some kind of 80ies box-car. But I think I want something with better visual condition, even if the mechanicals are very good on this one...
