Shed (project stylus) for sale!!
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 12:43 pm
Hi all, after the initial flurry of emails regarding the 'project' Stylus (see the thread 'I bought a shed...' in the General forum. I have just lost my garage 
and also work dictating no time (or skill) to do the work myself. Better for me to buy a completed car when I have a garage again in June/July. So, decided to sell the project on.
Its an early Stylus that never made it to SVA (though very close a number of years ago), fitted with a Fiat twin cam, seats, dash (not secure but dials in and wired up), basically everything done... a complete car.
Now the reality....its been sat for years under a tarpaulin and needs at least the following:
Wiring completely re-done - did all work but its a birds nest (fire hazzard).
New light surrounds
New engine mount.
Engine was working well but no battery at the moment and prob needs a re-build/service
Some of the fibre-glassing in rear cockpit is very ugly
May even be best to take body off, re-furb components & re fit the body
Exhaust fitted
Adjustable shocks - look OK
Body is intact and all in place but needs a re-spray (small graze through gell coat on front edge of bonnet, size of a 50p)
Doors fitted & trimmed (ugly trim)
brakes are seized as its been sat for years but did move when temporarily freed)
It has a new soft top but no frame
Has the roll hoop fitted
Gear lever seems very far forward but engine seems mounted in the correct place
Chassis seems OK
I think you get the picture guys!
If anyone fancies a project that has all the bits, for not a lot of money at all (much much less than the sum of the components) then PM me an offer, ask me, I wont be offended or bite.. Im realistic!
Thought Id give you guys first shot and then on Ebay next week if no interest/takers.
I would love this on the road and if i had the time/garage/skills it would be a very low cost entrance to ownership.
I'll try and get some pics at weekend - not wanted to get the covers off at the mo as its dry under there and wet outside.
Thanks

, its not scrap and will make someone with the skills to rebuild a great car! I was quoted approx £3500 parts & labour by a builder/mechanic to get to a good state, on the road and through SVA and thats on a commercial basis with the profit built in (not inc respray). So as a DIY job......should be much lower! 
. Im hoping it goes to someone on the forum rather than me having to contend with ebay.
