What do you mean by it needs a box? Ask him how much he wants for the g60 steelies plus I'd give him my steelies in return if he needs some wheels!

Aye needs a new box then. 395 for decent refurb one, then need clutch too.

Common problem. If he'd parked up when it started making a noise or lost its first gear it might have been ok to swaP the bearing. Fucked now.

Got £300 here. He can fit std suspenders back to it if he wants. Needs £400 worth of parts min then labour to fit it all.

Aye he said that. And he'd been told the tb would need cleaned out. But a tb doesnt block up from standing for a few month.

mine did on the corsa, and wd40 did it even worse... carb cleaner is the fella cos wd attracts the crap over a few weeks
best off going to view the car mate. i seen it a few times and can vouch it was his pride and joy and well looked after but cant say i had my head under the bonnet for long though... dint wanna gan say its a minter and it turn out to be a nail for you
