I wont lie,it's a lot of work....if you REALLY REALLY want to fix the car and have the cash and the ability to step back when you get pissed off go ahead, otherwise quit now before you spend money on something you'll get fucked off with and sell for buttons

Thats why i have bought a little 1.0 litre punto, to potter round in, and the car is in the corner of my unit so if and when i run out of money/patience i can walk away for a week!, i have always wanted a fez turbo and love the car so dont really want to jump ship

I'd deffo look into a newer shell, if you can find an 'N' reg shell it's going to be what 5 years newer for a start? If the log book doesnt matter to you then i'd get hunting for a nice one old lady owner 300 quid car !
