This is my daily drive as i cant afford to insure two cars.

Anyway i got her off ebay Saturday morning. Paid £500 for her. 118,000 miles, 2 months tax and 3 weeks MOT

(below it cut from my other thread)

I have some pictures of my own but mainly piccies of work that needs doing. had a bit of a shit day with her to be honest. washed her cus she was filthy, bodywork is 85% okay.. back bumper needs repainting as do skirts, front bumper, its cracked in a couple of places, not sure what to do with it, changed the headlight bulb ( which was blown ) out of my other one ( which worked ) and it still doesnt work, so im thinking and hoping the fuse popped when the bulb went? attempted to fix the washers not working, and yes, both the pipes have come off the washer pump, but theres literally no space, i couldnt get the rest of the undertray/arch guard off,it was getting dark and then managed to slice my hand on summet under there,and then the salt and shit from under the car got into it and i had tears in my eyes it stung that much.. so gave up and left it managed to screw the back bumper side back on as it was sticking out, but it was when i did this i found a nasty suprise behind the turret carpet on drivers side



Dont know whats caused it, wheres leaking and why its there? any ideas?

Other than that, it has these issues it needs sorting, bodywork wise.. oh and some other pics of things i liked..

Parcel shelf with working cords! rare...



Brand new unused spare!



Stress cracks and general shite state of front bumper,missing foglight surrounds, has crack under headlight, shite fillerwork repair on drivers side by wing and crack on bottom lip -





Passenger rear arch (worst one)



Drivers rear arch



Rear Bumper scuffs/scrape (i think the bumpers been rattle can painted )



Dull painted, (rattle canned again?) drivers front wing -



Video of her in action.. this was flooring it off the lights, i went upto 3rd gear then had to slow down,this look/sound ok? im going to check the IRMC tomoro.. -

Im quite happy with her, shes original, and for her age, what needs doing is relatively minor..can anyone recommend a decent bodyshop in leicestershire area?

The MOT is up on Feb 19th this year, so next weekend im taking it for an MOT and the outcome of that will be what decides the fate of this car.. if it needs too much, welding and crap ill just sell it on or break it, if its just silly cheap bolt on parts.. ill fix it and carry on with it. Until the MOT im not spending or buying out for it, she cleaned up well otherwise, one little car park ding on drivers back door. Its just the bumpers and skirts that need doing and the rear arches..
