Scrap it, with that much blistering on the rear quarter its going to need metal cutting out and replacing and thats going to cost

Tony

 

dont talk out your **** scrap it because of the blistering, if your not after buying keep your comments to yourself

 

Did you sell the wagon after ?

 

yes mate sold it

 

sorted the downpipe, needed a gasket and done the bonnet catch

 

you have pm

 

+1 Bump for a cheap sti

 

come on people need this gone,as my family car{crappy vectra}needs the engine sorting,so need the money for that

 

Agreed! Sorry but you are are talking ****e!

 

£1350 last price as my other car is going to the garage monday and need the funds

 

can offer you a grand and collect tommorow. thanks

 

sold

 

So you bought it then?

Classics are double skinned on the rear, you get that much blistering and the inner skin has gone, you need to replace the panel.
It cost me 200 quid to sort out just the minor blistering on my v5 type R (and it was very very minor), and he had to take 2 inches up the wing back to metal, so if you dont think that was bad, that v3 is terrible
Sorry OP, but once you understand when the rot sets in and it blisters that badly, your screwed.

Tony

 

that scooby is from the midlands a while ago the engine blew up in it did you buy it or did you buy it off someone else mate. only noticed due to wmcruizing sticker in the back window my mate used to run the club glad you sold it mate

 

I'm stunned that STi's can get so cheap

TX.

 

To be fair the seller priced it well for the faults it had. If someone has bought it who has access to a bodyshop then the expensive job of the rear arches may not be too pricey and he has got a good car for the money.

 

if ur telling him to scrap it why r u bothered what ecu its running????? just respect the guy he sold it cheap enough didn't he? a grand for an sti regardless of body condition is a steal as you could break it for more.
