Featured Replies

alrite all i bought this car as a running little project over the winter. had a pre M.O.T check up yesterday by my dads mate in a garage and it come back with a long list of problems. There is no chance i will be able to repair it as i dont have enough money. pictures ...

it's lowered about 80mm on starmag wheels. the bodywork is near perfect with a small rust patch on the back and a white strip where the drivers door has been badly painted. its got no service history and a few weeks left on the M.O.T. it drives solidly but still needs work.

I really loved driving this car for the 10 days i could and i dont want to break it for spares as it is such a nice car so I'm hoping that someone with a little more experience with cars and more time than i have will be able to buy it off me and restore it back to what it should be like. i payed £800 10 days ago for it and would like about £550 £400 back. if your interested and only if you seriosly are PM me and ill give you a list of the work that needs doing on it. want it gone quickly

EDIT:

exhaust front box holed

offside sill corroded

near side cv boot corroded

hole in the fuel tank ( i have got a spare replacement just not fitted )

track rod end fouling body

front brake pads

offside front tire touching (fouling) the arch

Drivers door needs painting

engine and gear box are fine i've owned for 10 days and driven it everyday and night and its fine. the jobs arn't exactly major but i dont have the money to get it fixed up i own a 6n and working on this is going to be enough for me. mum and dad givin me shit because they need space on the drive £550 ONO

cheers, kyle

Nice looking car mate, sorry its not worked out.

I think you will get a better response if you list the failure points on the ad mate, people will know if the jobs are within their scope or budget when they consider the car. IMHO
