1998 Sterling 825 for Breaking / Project

Post by PhilC » Mon Jul 06, 2009 12:10 pm

Guys

link to my car. 52K miles
http://www.rover800.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2585

After speaking with some local mechanics. I can't get the cost of doing the head gaskets down to where I want it to be by doing most of the work myself. I don't have anywhere suitable to put this car to keep as a long term project or as a breaker therefore its available if anyone wants it.

PM me if you are interested.

FYI it has a new battery, new radiator, new thermostat, new air filter, new yellow expansion tank cap and a working expansion tank.

There is an alternative.

I've got 5 weeks left before I go back to work. I can leave it insured and taxed on the road and break it for parts (engine bay and interior). Just spoke to a chap who will pick up the lump after that.....and give me cash

Anyone interested?

Phil,

How good is the front grille(any rust?), and how much would you want for it?

Precisely...

Dan
Just had a look and its perfect on the outside apart from a spray over spill on the bottom edge that not really noticeable until you look closely. I can remove it with my finger nail (see picture) Just taken the surrounding rubber off and that's in good nick. A tenner plus P&P would be worth my while
Let me know
Cheers
Phil

Mike et al

I asked the salvage company to hold off crushing it for a few days to give you guys a chance if you wanted anything

BS Salvage 0161 799 2185 - Walkden Manchester- they'll do mail order

What I can tell you is that the Bonnet, front wings were very good. ONe doore had a rust spot at the top (rear offside), also plenty of key marks by the locks. Bumpers were marked in the four corners and the rear bumper was marked in the middle. None bent all could be recovered to new condition. Interior was spotless (mats were slightly marked but scrubbed up well)

Sorry Dan

there was a one stud and nut that just rotated. Stupid fixings!! should just be screwed on - simple plastic part - very little pre-tensioning required. Just couldn't get it done it time. Awkward to hacksaw :roll:
