Both front tyres bald on the inner edges
Nearside front suspension turret starting to split
Rear bumper cracked and needed new
Smell of stale water in boot from a leak
Laquar coming off C pillar
Rear inner wings fouling on the wheels
Centre vents replaced with a boost gauge and 2 switches “anti lag and “launch control”
2 wires hanging out the gear lever with a switch, which i assume was for the launch control - no signs of any of the above actually fitted apart from the switches
Grey injectors not fitted, the multi plugs on the loom are grey so i assume thats why he thought they were greys!! They were black topped so i’m assuming they were Siemens 55lbph injectors.
To be fair it was very solid underneath in the usual places, few spots of rust along all 4 doors from under the window scraper mouldings
Defo not the car for zowow!!!
It's a shame really, if someone was really after a crystal blue one I expect they could get it up to scratch for a couple of grand but agreed, most of them these days are so rough round the edges it's hard to see the potential in the car I guess.
Even if you saw past the bits and pieces it needed, the gut feeling was to walk away.
Shame though, but it was probably for the best
Cheers again though fur for coming with me, much appreciated - I owe you a couple of beers as usual
