New car Saturday! (if its all okay)
#56
I'd be looking VERY carefully at it...

It's a modified Ph2 DT - it's got a cone filter, a big exhaust etc.. It's probably had a hard life, the clutch is slipping on a Lucas pump so probably 190lb.ft tops, considering those clutches will hold 280lb.ft new and it's slipping now - it's proper shagged and will want replacing yesterday. Frankly I wouldn't be too concerned about the beam, it's probably shagged anyway - let's face it you're going to want to put on a GTi6 beam fairly quick anyway.

£650 is going it IMHO, although it's often cheaper to fix engines and suspension than bodywork... Make sure it's not rusting out, make sure the paint isn't just destroyed or there's dings all down it... Don't get distracted by oooh leather interior, oooh shiny wheels since they're £60-100 parts you can fit in an afternoon... You want to be making sure the parts that are difficult to change and you don't want to change are in great condition.
