Full service history, but it does'not run? Odd that. You can usually tell from the bodywork how much people look after there cars.

Not bad for £5o though, should be able to make some profit on that.

Cheap coilovers, wiiiide banded steelies, flared arches not worrying about the paintowrk seeing as it's a bit shabby anyway. Basically epic stance and sh*t bodywork... a bit like Leo's old blue poverty spec 206 that was completely slammed on 14's with flared arches that needed painting - it looked crazy for its lowness alone, despite the bodywork. That's what I'd be tempted to do anyway. Laughing

not really much bits worth anything as its a fairly basic model will be worth more to get it running as the labour doesnt cost me anything and the bits are cost price Very Happy

yeah well im quite lucky like that as i work at a garage we quite often get cars that arnt financially viable to repair from the customers point of view so i give them £50 for it and spend a few weekends sorting them then that either get sold or nabbed by various family members haha

YUP So chucking in a whole working engine in with manual gearbox attached might work out to be pretty cost effective?

Haha, to be fair though, without spending a pretty penny on getting it into mint condition (and why bother on a low spec 1.4 auto?), then my suggestion would give it the most visual impact, it's all about making it look cool without making it look pristine. I guess what I'm basically suggesting is rat look! At £50 it's virtually disposable so you may aswell have a bit of fun with it Very Happy

Indeed i do... thing is though with a main dealer you rarely get cars like that in, its more new stuff, working on vans all the time i never really get the chance of a cheeky bargain unless its a clapped out transit van Laughing


and with regard to the welding your not wrong there haha!

future plans are:
sort the rest of the bodywork out
spray and fit the sports front and rear bumpers i have in the loft
fit the old ecosse springs from my 1st 206 to the standard struts from my 180 and fit them
get used to the slowness Laughing (and how stiff the 180 feels after driving this all week haha)
