Default Worth taking a chance on

Alright folks, been offered this S2 cheap, you rekon its worth taking a chance on and buying?

It has no MOT or tax so apart from the obvious cosmetic issues, im not sure what it needs.





Anyone take an educated guess at what its going to cost me for;

Front bumper
headlight
side repeaters
wiper arms
jacking point cover


Cheers folks.

The bumper and jacking covers will be the most expensive parts, the other bits are easy peasy to find at a scrappy.

Personally though, a car with MOT i feel is not worth much at all.........ive been there and bought a right sweater of a S2, thing was hangin man! Learn't my lesson on that one!

Probably needs some fairly extensive welding if its got no MOT

looks a dog, break it, not worth all the paint prep and tidying to make it worth 1200 - 1500 quid, not to mention parts and machanicals and interior parts it may or may not need, if its under 600 snap it up and strip it
