#1: She's Back, my old 180 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Wed May 27, 2020 7:40 pm ---- Well she is back, my old gti180 and now in the hands of my brother. Been sat around for the last 18months so is looking a bit sorry for itself at the moment but glad to see her again and soon be back on the road
Some might remember it from back in the day

It's in the process of having the basics replaced like wipers, bulbs but will at some point, possibly be resprayed as the paintwork is in that bad condition

Me too but it's difficult now to find a decent one, they are other hidden away or being stripped for parts even for the tiniest fault

Shame, some of the ones we were looking at getting went that way before we had the chance, not much wrong with them at all but worth more in parts. The modern day equivalent of the Mi16 maybe...
Doesn't help when there's folks out there building "plastic" 180s out of cars with cheaper insurance and not declaring it, if/when they smash those up (or get hit by someone else, through no fault) they'll be seized and crushed without much doubt.

The guy seemed to use it a few times after buying it but then just stopped using it. He said it was dry stored but I think I got the wrong impression as when picking it up it was covered in grass cuttings etc

Car guy's interpretation-: "car has been sat in a garage/barn or otherwise out of the weather, might be dusty but otherwise it's fine"
Random seller dude interpretation-: "ran out of fuel, and all the oil and coolant leaked out years ago"
