I told him if we need to spend 2-3k on it then its just not worth it. He seems to think its a bargain and looks in his old car mags and have seen some in there for about 10k... Living in a dreamers world i said.

I just told him that you paid £500 for one and he said lets go round there and look at this one to see what work needs doing to it. I had a quick look and it needs new wings for a start then subframe plus rust bits here and there so its going to cost paint too!

Best part about it all is he said "well we could do a deal and get the maestro too, old cars are worth money!"
