I would expect in the current market - £30k is a realistic guide number. Of course this depends on many many variables. Myself - im not really bothered. I just want to get it back together and usable for me.

The S4 will unfortunately need to go once this ones together

Tailgate removed. Two struts that are with it are different lengths - one has a well known suppliers label on it - it’s catagorically too short and not of adequate nm rating. Now thrown in a pile. Bits had a good hunt through - need to make a shopping list of new nuts and bolts.

Drivers side fuel tank now in. Nice new foam pads made from the remnants of the missus yoga mat.

Wood panel fitted - ecu fitted - side panels fitted - ram air mod done.

fuel breather up and over pipe - great - it’s heater hose and is rock hard. The vent thingy solenoid that goes to the charcoal canister is loose in a box - so need to get some pipe for that as well.  All other wires and pipes routed where they should be.

thats enough for this afternoon fettling. I’ve pulled the memcal out and taken a pic - sure the chips not original - taken a picture - but that’s on the iPhone and it’s cold so the battery is dead ....8E81A9B0-C247-40F0-9B60-A0754AAA6671.thumb.jpeg.b9701b1009e5eddfc992cc7c803c987f.jpeg

@Barrykearley  No idea, I wonder if someone has erased the original EPROM and reprogrammed it. What's the BCC and the 8 digit GM part number (usually on it's own on the third line) on the casing label?
