Just been and looked at it, and I am not too sure about it now.

It is full of empty beer cans and rubbish, and the owner thinks the keys might be in the rubbish somewhere.

It had no water in the expansion tank, so I filled it up and started it, it ran OK for a while but the water level didn't drop in the tank. It might have already had plenty of water in the system, but I'm worried the water pump is not working.

It also cut out when it started to get warm and wouldn't idle properly. It is a 1.8 pinto I think, but I'm a bit rusty with old Ford stuff.

There is also alot of bad rot on the drivers side rear arch, and the sill has been badly repaired on that side too.

Oh and the owner said he thinks the clutch us on it's way out.

All in all, it's pretty rough. But it is a manual rwd car and I only need it to last 1 year. And it is only 50 notes.....

Should I go for it?
