firstly: apologies if posts of this nature arent allowed (i know some forums from upon it)
and further apologies if its in the wrong section (i figured that id get a faster response in here)

anyway... to the painful part...

I've decided (for definite this time) to part ways with my 1979 storm but have no idea what a fair price would be for it
i'm not looking to add a load of "scene tax" too it and end up never selling it because its too expensive but I also dont want to rob myself.

major details about the car and work done on it can be found in my "build thread" here: viewtopic.php?t=11068


but in short
its mechanically sound, starts, runs and stops as it should. fuel and brake lines have been renewed as has the fuel filler and tank.
the body work is in really good shape (all major rust removal and welding sorted out) the only thing that lets it down is the paint job (matt green rattle can)
its done just over 100,000 miles
interior is full black leather and in very good condition (some wearing and cracks on the drivers seat but thats about as bad as it gets)
will have full MOT at time of sale (currently sorn but flew through last mot)

it currently looks like this:

anyway...
let me know if ive missed anything important
i'll be putting a proper for sale thread up asap

huge thanks in advance!

Hard to say, really, but with a full MoT I'd expect it to make around £2000-£3000 in an eBay auction.

avoiding ebay at all costs (selling my mk2 golf on there turned out to be a minefield of idiots and timewasters)

but thanks for the input :)

A well worded -format friendly- advert on here and on retro rides plus linking to the Facebook groups, not just ours, will shift that. Edition38 or club GTI forums too.
Agree with Ed re the pricing.

Hi the car looks lovely... may try carandclassic.co.uk. Seen a few Mk1's on there and were on there for good money too.

im most likely just going to stick to advertising it here and edition.
ive taken next week off work so i'll be getting it out of the garage and sprucing it up/checking it over and getting an MOT then composing an ad to suit

many thanks again folks :)
