steharvey Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I like the look of the yellow westy on Ebay in Newcastle. He wants 5k for it. Can I have all your advice to wether It's any good or not? It's the second time he's listed it as it never sold the first time. I wanted a red top or zetec but this would do for now till I convert it during the winter. This will be my first westy if I get it so any advice on what to look for if I Ho see the car would be appreciated. Steve Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 looks nice enough for that sorta money as far as you can tell from the piccies not sure how the dash got through IVA though - you might want to change it as I am fairly sure that is gonna blind you on a sunny day Quote
RedditchJay Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 looks about right for the money...... although there are some very good WSCC members cars up for sale at the moment with a better spec..... Quote
steharvey Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 Well if anybody knows of anyone selling there westy for around 6k mark feel free to point me in the right direction. I like the look of the yellow one in the cars for sale section but had no reply after emailing him so its probs sold. I would prefer one with a zetec or red top to be honnest. Quote
housebeautician Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Hi steharvey mines up for sale at the mo. Its in the cars for sale section and linked to another site with all the details and contact no's Not sure it was me you emailed but car is available. Give me a shout if interested. Cheers Tony Quote
RedditchJay Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 and its a fantastic car..... dont get hung up on zetec / XE engined cars, a damn good pinto or hot xflow keeps up very well..... and for your budget you will get a tider Pinto or xflow Quote
steharvey Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 Hi Tony. It was robthehungrymonkey's car I was after. Yours is very nice but I wouldn't want an age related plate or I'll be stuck with the emissions and not so easy to convert the engine. Good luck with the sale though. Someone will snap it up! There's a nice white one on piston heads for 6k ish that looks tidy. What's everyone's thought on that? It has a 1700 cross flow engine fitted. Quote
perksy Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Well if anybody knows of anyone selling there westy for around 6k mark feel free to point me in the right direction. I like the look of the yellow one in the cars for sale section but had no reply after emailing him so its probs sold. I would prefer one with a zetec or red top to be honnest. Just a thought... Why not hold fire, save up abit more and buy the spec' of car that you *Really* want to start with Conversions can add up quite quickly Unless your good with the spanners and are prepared to wait and pick up parts 'as and when' they become available Quote
housebeautician Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 No worries . good luck with the hunt. There is a nice red one for sale as well but not advertised will call the guy and tell him your looking tony Quote
