Parting out a 230g cabrio

Post#1 » Sun Jan 27, 2019 5:12 pm

Hello Everyone!

Purchased a 1980 230g cabrio back in 2011 with the idea of restoring it - many of the body panels took some rust damage, frame is in great conditions, trans and engine are great, lockers work, break lines are replaced but not connected (This is a project after all). I have a clean title, most of the parts, I would say the car is 85-90% complete and the 4 cylinder engine was rebuilt less than 10,000 km ago. I have various documents on the cars history, the original manual, and several other items I can provide photos of / discuss. I would like to stress that this is a project car. When I purchased her she looked to be in decent condition but after taking her part I found a decent amount of rust on the body and some questionable wiring. I removed the original break lines and replaced with steel, I believe I also replaced the lines to the lockers. The car drove off the trailer and into the garage, all gears shifted fine, it has remained parked for the last 7 years. I took apart most of the car to cut away and sand off the body rust, she will need reassembling after metal work, wiring, etc...

This is my first post and I look forward to discussing with all of you. Happy to upload photos if there is interest, figured I'd post her on the forums before listing her on eBay / craigslist. I would entertain reasonable offers for the entire lot. The car is located in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Thank you everyone!

Will post pictures later tonight. Does anyone recommend an image upload service? She's quite the project, body rust is the biggest culprit. If I were more experienced \ had the time, I would keep going with it. Stay tuned for photos! Thank you everyone!

I'm in the $5000 range but I'm open to offers within reason. I don't want to shy away from the fact that this will be a project.
