[What car would you ?]

As a young lad many years ago i used to dream of owning a cabriolet  :>)

like most of us there was one particular model that i always fancied and looking at the prices i will never own one

ive been walking past this car for the past week and it hasn't moved . left outside on the street aswell  . i had to stop and get a pic 

never satisfied are we lol .at least i own a cabriolet :>)

if you could have any cabriolet what would it be apart from yours of course

[Mk6 Calypso]

well i brought the mk6 back in the garage to make a start after trying everything to get the front wheels off . i did wanna try and save them after trying everything to remove the seized nuts . i managed to round 1 off on the nearside and 3 off on the offside 

had top of the range nut guns /air guns and special nut removal tools and 3 different people that thought they may be able to remove them :>)

well in the end good old fashion hole cutter and big hammer done the trick 

wheels are finally off and fit for the scrap man :>(  had sold them a few months ago for £100 aswell lol 

onwards an upwards got a set of rs15s to o on them as a rolling project  just for the pre mot to see how bad it really is before i start any work on it 

will keep you all updated

[Advice On Value Mk3 Cabby And Sadly Sell]

hi paul

lovely example of the cabriolet you have there

like others have said its hard to put a price and value on your cabby

plenty of others out there for sale and it all depends on what people are after . colours spec etc

its definitely worth placing in a classic car mag or coming to car shows to let people have a good look around it

good luck with what ever you decide to put it up for

regards ollie
