Advertise it in numerous places, Autotrader, Ebay, Gumtree, FB marketplace are the ones that stick out to me although there will be more no doubt, how much you pay to advertise it is up to you.Ajhs18 said:I have a MK3 golf cabriolet that has failed it's MOT.

There is very likely a specialist owners club.Ajhs18 said:I have a MK3 golf cabriolet that has failed it's MOT. I need to know where I can sell it either as a restoration job or for parts.
It needs some welding doing.
Failing that, list in an online auction with the starting price at whatever you'd get for weighing it in scrap. Take care to be clear in describing the condition fully and correctly.1 -

No,it failed on the following
Offside rear vehicle structure needs some welding.
Brake load sensing valve linkage defective.
Offside rear and nearside rear brake hose ferrule excessively corroded.
Offside rear and nearside rear wheel bearing has excessive play.
Service brake efficiency below requirement.0 -
...just put it on ebay stating its condition and the facts that you have....or join a users forum and put it on there?

As above I'd try places for free like Autotrader (free under £1000) or Facebook marketplace listed with the issues it has failed on. If the rest of the car is decent and has good history it should have some value.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0
