Mk5 Zetec S (Help)
I am the victim of my own stupidity 
Picked up a Fiesta last night, let my heart rule my head - I LOVE FIESTAs.
The way the guy was going on about the car you'd think it was a fu**ing Ferrari, but no it is a black, Mk5 Fiesta Zetec S otherwise known as a pile of shit.
One of the front wheel bearings is non existent, he didn't mention that until yesterday, 'makes a bit of a noise' he said, it's a wonder how I got 35 miles home, it was horrendous. 'Why is the drivers window open? I wondered as he was going on about how he could have sold the car a million times for more than 600 quid, what he failed to tell me also that the drivers door only opens from the inside, but be gentle because the interior is non existent so the lever falls off with a tiny amount of pressure applied - MOT fail but an easy fix maybe. It's been completely stripped inside so noisy as f**k, so I'll put a standard interior inc carpets back in. The front end has a splitter which is coming off (now for sale on FB) and no fog lights, another thing I'll need to replace. One of the rear quarters has been gaffer taped and had some kind of prep by a retarded monkey which looks super nice, he supplied arches for it.
And it has no rear view mirror, so where the hell am I gonna hang the Magic Tree?!
It's booked in to have that wheel bearing replaced today and I'd to try fixing the door handle/lever..
Cheers

Hmm because I'm stupid! I live in Cornwall and not prepared to travel miles for a car and I like a challenge.. It'll be OK, it's not for daily use, thankfully.
(And it has a Puma 1.7 lump)
