To add to this, I'm toying with scrapping the car as I cant b arsed to fit a new radiator to it

Car has less than 100k on (H reg!) but paintwork is the usual Red faded to pink

Was hoping a PH'er may be able to make better use of it than me taking the best bits off and turning it into a cube

MOT'd until Sept 11

PM me, if not I'll get shot later this week

Matt if you wan't a hand sorting the paintwork out just askthumbup

Plus you could ask Dave (chim) to help with the radiator.

Mate,

I think the paint is beyond even your skills, its covered in the pink fade and also has some anti freeze spill at the rear that has stained the paintwork

TBH, chances are it would only be worth about £500 once its done up, so rather than go to all the aggro I'd rather just sell it to someone who can get some use from it (be that as a do'er upper or spares) for a little bit more than scrap value.

A car that needs a little bit of attention to sort out you say? I'm a sucker for such things.

Where abouts in the SW are you?

I'm afraid not

(Mrs car!)

Bodywork is sound, its just got a lot of faded paintwork (clasic reddish pink)

But at the price above I think its damn good value for a parts bin or doer upper!

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your mail.

Sounds good - can you send me a picture please? I'll have a chat with my father in law (going to be a bit of a joint project hopefully) smile. He does the body work and i do the oily bits!

What engine/box does it have?

Cheers, Mark.
