Went over to me mams to pick my son up and she told me the couple that lives over the road was having some problems with there car, The head gasket had gone but because it went 2year ago when he bought it out of a garage then gone again now he thinks it needs a new engine

So sent mam on phone to ring over the street and tell him to come out the front and i went over to see him.

Right the plan was to offer to fix it a lot cheaper than he had been quoted from a garage with a propper head gasket ( All im saying as you will know what kind of car it is ) as the garage only put another standard one on and never skimmed the head and make my myself a quick penny or two for a few hours work....and when i got talking to him he said he was going to buy a new car as he did not want to spend money on it and scrap it..

So i am now the proud owner of a mint condition silver Rover 25 on a 51 plate with 8 month tax n test for £100....

Well looks like im ordering a uprated head gasket tomorra at work....

 

I thought you were gonna say a rover,Never mind the rover get the cossie finished lol

 

lol ..... went down the garage and looked at it today.....Then i turned round and went back up home...

 

looks just like this one...

 

mint them lol.

prob a few beers in it for you when done, the blue rinse brigade love them!

steve

 

lol or there will be a few beers in alright......£100 for car and say £100 to fix it...by the time i get it pressure tested n skimmed n freelander head gasket.( got all the other gaskets at work ) then quick check over n oil n filter change......

The feller i got it off is nearlly 65 and payed just under 3k for it 2 years ago....

I thinking maby make about 500 - 600 on it...for a few hours work..

 

Well i hope you make some money on it then you can spend it on your cossie.

 

Nice buy there fella, should be a nice little profit in it.

 

decent 25s are sought after. You might squeze 1k out of it

 

nice one mate.

 

I was thinking this ive been looking and they are pulling £850 upover for a 51 plate but this one is low mileage and is nice and clean.....

But id rather sell it cheaper and have a nice fast sale and still make a good profit rather than it stood outside mine as i have to many cars stood outside now and can never make me mind up which one to jump in for work now....lol
