Cracking little build, that's exactly the sort of Mk2 I'd want for thrash days. Rare to see one still running the small bumpers and properly stripped out rather than just shell-and-cage for show.

One thing that might help it move: the thread's been sitting since last November, so it might be worth a fresh post with the price and a few clear photos on the ad itself, since not everyone clicks through to an external album. Also worth mentioning if it's got a V5 and whether it's MOT'd or SORN, as that'll decide whether buyers see it as a road car or a track toy.

£3000 doesn't look daft with the cage, coilovers, cam and three engines' worth of spares thrown in. Good luck with the sale.
