the cars mot runs out the end of this month but will mot it, tax will run out too but its not insured anymore but i can get it taxed at buyers expence
now for the bad parts as every car has it ad id rather not bull**** you and waste your time
the car has had its fair share of welding with most of it being on the floorpan, its had a few patches on the floor an in front of the front seats and a couple patches in the boot where the drain grommets were
wiring could be tidied up behind the dash
heated rear window dosnt work could be the relay i think
heater cables are broke so only works on hot but when do you ever put it on cold?
needs part of the lock mechanism on the drivers door
tracking will need done
small dent beside the drivers door handle where a wheely bin fell over :/
as i was intending to strip the car i have sold the electric windows and central locking kit along with the door cards so you will need something to replace these with
all it needs for its mot is a small section welded on the rear chassis leg but like i said i will mot it
****e mate is there no where in hawick you could keep it?
Going to see a guy on Friday who's literally 30 seconds walk so hopefully get that place room to keep 5 cars in as well
well finally got myself a lockup to keep the car and only 1 minute walk away
sold the 8v engine guys coming to get it on saturday so i can get the car stripped and onto a rollover jig when i get one
sorted a couple problems on the vectra, reistor had gone on the heater fan so only worked on 4
89p later from maplins and a bit soldering and its fixed, found a leak on one of the hoses though when under pressure one of the clips from the intercooler pipes has been rubbing against the radiator hose and caused a split
got a new GM hose from ebay for £9 so not too bad
