Well a little update. I picked the car up today having never seen it before  and oh dear!! Big hole in the bottom of the drivers door, "a" post's rotten inner and outer sills just came off in my hands and so on...... Well i didn't pay much for it and was expecting it to be like this any way, i looked at it for spare if nothing else. I will be taking some of the parts off i need and want i.e the full stainless steel exhaust and then will look at striping the car of any other usable parts. I hate to have to do this as i would love it more to see it back on the road but it has been left for to long   If any one needs anything drop me an email all i want to do is get some money back from the car which is a small amount so parts will be cheap. I will know more by the weekend when i start to take things off, but i have front headrest's, speedo, pas box and pump, wheels etc so let me know and I'll have a look. My very helpful recovery guy ;D  All loaded up and ready to go  Back at work  See anything you would like?  |

And it does not look at all bad! Worse ones than that have been restored
Has it got sillstrips on it as it looks like it - not original though. The seats will fit straight into P5B's as well if they are any good. For those that like air ATF oil coolers this should have one

It is a shame and your right it does look nice it the pictures thats why i took the risk in getting it, but half the o/s came off just when it got loaded on to the truck  Haven't had a really good look over it yet, but from what i can see, seats are in a poor condition and would need re-trimming but frame and chrome is good around them, screen trims are good and front headrest look good john so ill let you know as i may keep them for myself, not sure yet. Let me know of anything else and ill gladly have a look |

Is it a manual by any chance? I'm after the little nylon ball that goes at the base of the gear lever plus the bush on the remote shaft. (I have a D reg MK3 )

It looks like an auto - the white dipstick/filler can be seen to the left of the engine bay

Thanks for spotting the auto filler cap - teach me to get my hopes too high. I am new to the P5 game so apologies for not spotting that one.
Is the rubber boot seal worth salvaging as my P5 doesn't have one at all currently.

I use Interlink and can arrange delivery. If you are really struggling I could get the parts from David Green and have them posted to you or have you not tried talking to David directly to see if he will post to OZ??? Either way we can get you sorted.
