Question Bit of advise?

Right so earlier i put on asking if anyone was selling a non runner, just to get me started & i got a message from a MOD saying that i needed Gold Membership to post for wanted, So im just asking, does anybody know where i can get cheap non runners? Ive been looking on Ebay, Gumtree & everything! You name it ive looked there, im considering buying Gold Membership so i can post in the for sale area of the forum! Any help will be much appreciated!

You won't find one less than £200, as that's about the weigh in scrap price.

If it's for you to eventually drive you need to check the insurance costs, that will be far more expensive than buying /doing up.

£400;
