Project car wanted was created by Sam

Hello gents,

Looking for a fixer-upper for the winter. No rust (or superficial rust) and a solid body. Would like a car with a relatively complete interior. Not so fussed on whether engine is present or not but would like to see a solid box and drivetrain, but would compromise for a sound body.

How much I'm willing to spend depends on the quality and completeness of the car on offer.

Might any of you know of anyone looking to offload an unfinished project at some point over the autumn?

Thanks in advance.

I have just had my x1/9's gearbox go on me and I was thinking of selling.

Mine isn't so much a project as I just had her MOT'd about a week ago.

I bought a new set of alloys with good tyres on to get her through the mot as the tyres on the original alloys were remoulds.
The guy I bought them from said they came off his x19 but they didn't come with the spigot so it difficult to get them dead centre plus after balancing the weight just touch the brake caliper.

She's a good example and rust free apart from a couple of tiny spots starting to show on the nearside rear wheel arch.

Good engine, revs nice.

It's just had new suspension.

I'm in Bristol
