Had this in my watched list - parts breaker indeed. But would be nice to see it revived personally.

To me that bumper looks legit, easy way to tell is whether that grey/black grill part with the badge is a separate piece. :wink:

I'd certainly be interested in a couple of bits, gearbox sounds good as long as it could be proved. I wonder how much he has receipts for? Other things I'd like if someone does buy to break: gauges, camber kit, under braces, sump, timing belt, cam gears, wheel nuts.

So one or two things. So is this turning into a dibs thread for whoever buys it then? :lol:

Interesting mod on the rear quarter windows, I wouldn't have noticed if he didn't list it. Someone do it! 8-)

IMO that thing is only worth a grand if the Mugen bumper is genuine.

I'd tend to disagree once you total up the parts on it - of course there is a big list of stuff that you assume is actually on the car. But his listing tends to give the impression he knows a bit about these cars and the mods on it seem very good choices.

Yeah the potential to make some money is there.

That is where I am coming from. Hard to tell on a non-runner. But the exhaust and bits might make it worth while.

My suspicion is always raised when a car looks as jobby as that.

Ouch! Poor thing :cry:
TBH it wouldn't take that much to get the car running again though I expect and would be a great track car. Obviously worth more in parts though, as always with ludes :cry:

I do like that mugen front bumper on 5ths...


If the mugen manifold/downpipe are in good nick and fit 4ths (no difference IIRC) I'd be interested in that.
EDIT: that's dibs in case people don't realise! :lol:

Meh. My CX Safari looked great when I parked it up on the front drive. It pretty much looks as jobby as that now though! :lol:
I never have let it get quite that green though before taking pity and washing it, I have also run it a couple of times as well. :? So perhaps not as jobby as that on second thoughts...

Yes! (assuming someone buys it to break)
