:obought this Ph1 a few years ago off a fella that got done for drink driving.he thought the gearbox was gone because of the noise, turned out to be a knackered wheel bearing.swapped over a front hub, noise gone.it also needed a gearbox mount and drivers side engine mount.further inspection showed it needed sills but the rest was rust free.
removed the dash to repair the loom due to burnt wires

dash is back in place. had to leave the heater direction cable disconnected due to the bottom flap being seized and no amount of wd40 would loosen it.sun roof and windows didnt work.sunroof was just a blown fuse and the passenger side window was a dodgy connection at the motor. cant get drivers side to work.

costs so far
€200 91 r19 16v 3dr
€ 65 rear gearbox mount
€ 20 swap over of 2 2nd hand tyres
