i went to look at

i went to look at a mk2 s12 in cornwall that i had seen on ebay today, the shell itself looked tidy enough no rust anywhere , then i popped the bonnet, what did i see? the worst mess i have ever seen , oil everywhere in the engine bay it covered absolutley everything the underside of the bonnet included. I started it up , only running on 3 cylinders , smoke pooring out of the breathers, the only good thing about it really was the scorpion exhaust, it didn't have a dump valve like he said either, he also said that the head gasket had gone between two cylinders , but it looked more like it had a holed piston to me , he'd wanted £350 for it , i shook my head turned around got in my car and drove back home , 130 miles for nowt , never mind something better will come along soon

you should have asked for petrol money!!, i always tell them over the phone if its not what you say it is i will be getting petrol money out of you

i didn't think about asking him for petrol money , tbh i think he was a bit of a muppet

£350. he's having a laugh. For a non runner, Bodywork would have to be emaculate for that money. Is that the Blue face lift on Ebay.

I picked up a project car a few weeks ago for £75. It was a non runner, Been stood round for 6 yrs, however now running as it was only the Fuel pump that was the problem. However, since starting it have discovered the thermostate must be stuck as no water seams to be flowing to Rad. But bodywork under neath is solid, Just needs a drivers front wing. & the red is now a nice faded orange, so long term will need a respray. But definately been loked after as engine bay & interior is in lovely condition. So they are out there. By the sounds of it that one could turn to be another S12 that bites the great parts bin in the sky.

Take a look at the Bronze one on Ebay. Its looks fantastic. If I was in the Market for another one that's one I would consider & pay the money for. 30 psi looks nice, but needs an engine.

yeah it was the face lift one on ebay, i have seen the bronze one on there aswell (the same colour as my very first silvia) but it's a bit too far for me to go . I'm lookin for something thats quite sound body wise not to bothered about the engine tho as i've got an sr20det to go in it with 4wd gearbox and so on , just as long as it gets me home i'm ok with that, but the blue one wouldn't have made it 20 miles in my opinion
