Pardon our interruption...

Due to a shorting out the battery cable there is now damage to the wiring and car does not start/run in it's current condition. However it is a fairly simple wiring job for the seasoned hobbyist. Not too many wires on these cars and painless wiring even sells complete kits if you so desire

From the eBay listing, this is CE41G9C249102 -- looks B7 to me, but no tag to confirm.

Tow bar hooks.

The car actually looks decent for the price. Hopefully, the stock parts are around somewhere, but whatever. Hooking up the battery backwards could do some damage, how much, I'm not sure. Probably a new harness (not a Painless) and a look at what was done to install the aftermarket stuff (like the radio and headlights) will cure most of the ills.

The aluminum foil on the AC lines is odd. Gotta lose that flex fan before it kills someone and there's no PCV.

I don't believe the claim of less than 14K miles and the car is gonna need some work, some that probably isn't being described on the ad, but again, the price isn't bad based on the pics. Seeing it in person would be needed to confirm.

Evans lists an under hood wiring harness. $120 for points, $135 for electronic. That might handle most of the electrical problems, but you won't know until you get under the dash.
