gotta go with jimbo on this one matey sounds like a gud engine but needs to much body work sortin out, paintworks faded, wheels are shockin not lowered, it wud b like startin all over again from when u got the whitey but even worse cos its in worse condition

Dicky view the car before you commit to buying it, he is being honest about it needing work but doesnt give exact details on where and will it make the MOT?

I think if the shells good then buy buy buy, if it needs too much work then its got to be bought for an engineswap - Am sure someone will do it cheaper than £700 b'cos @ end of day your only swappin off one car to another.

Perhaps contact Meesh for his contactnumber he was formerly going to use for his engineswap? Now thats was cheap - Dave The Raves mate it is

Yep, price was cheap, or enquire at Autosafe where I got mine done in the end
