Buddahwolfie 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Guys any idea's on where the best place to get a Rallye from not bothered about engine much as i want to do a project on it.I know parts for them are hard to get hold of but what about the car itself. Would it be cheaper to import one from germany?Any advice is most welcome Link to post Share on other sites

purple highline monster 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 trust me you dont want a shed of Rallye, as you say parts are very hard/expensive especially if body work needs attention,they arent that plentifull even in Germany anymore, dont forget there were only 5000 made from 1989-1991 so a lot are gone forever! i sold my mint tornado red one about 3 years ago, the guy still has it and it was up for sale again a few weeks back as he offered it to me, he wants 5k for it, it will be hard to find a "project" Rallye imo as the engine, body parts and running gear fetch such good money due to rarity, so people break them if they are not too good condition rather than sell whole cars, check ebay Germany they appear very occasionally on there Link to post Share on other sites
Buddahwolfie 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I was hoping to drop a r32 into a rallye as a friend is offering me a r32 engine gearbox and ecu from a 05 plate car for £1500 would need to get rest of bits myself. Engine has only done 9K.Someone has offered me a rallye shell for £1000 but its missing a drivers wing. i think i may have to scrap my idead and stick with my mk2 vr6. I shall just have to keep an eye out for a supercharger. lol Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_GTI 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I broke one two years ago and ended up selling most of the bits to people in america. I made more by cutting it up than I would have done selling it whole - As PHM said it can be worth more this way. Broke my heart having to destroy it.as you can see I really did cut it up Link to post Share on other sites
Buddahwolfie 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 man that must of heart. I have spent loads on my MK2 and the thought of selling it hurts never mind cutting it up Link to post Share on other sites
