Default Free car!!

I have a Mk1 Fiesta that was being used as a run to work and back car.

It has now got to much money to maintain so im getting rid, it will either be scrapped or if someone wants it come get it...

It is a 1976 V plate, got 65k on the clock, it has a mish mash of interiors with mk3 seats and carpet, no rear seats but its all boarded out as it was used to carry. It dont have a driver side window due to local ar-soles and the brakes are dead, wheel cylinders are shot....

If you have the time and a garage or lock-up it will be a cheap motor to get it right.

It is light beige has a little service history ie, mots.

All i have done since buying it was service it and abuse it to work and back....

So if you want a project for maybe a son/daughter then come get it...

Im in South Manchester by the by.....
