Yes its up for sale again!! . . . .

has a gsi front bumper (with toe eye)with holes cut in :confused:

All in very well spec'd car that has been around abit

since ive owned it i have -

removed rear brake discs clean out and adjust handbrake
changed the ****e gear linkage on it for a nearley new 1
removed and refitted with thread lock steering rack bolts
replaced 1 tyre on n/s rear for a part worn toyo others are pirelli's

bad points -

It has a oil leak not sure where its from just a little drip now and then nothing majour at all i havent put any all in in 800+ miles and i check it weekley
O/s rear arch is scabby in 2 places ideally wants repair arch and repair to inner arch.
Front brake discs are warped and vibrate under hard braking, ive drove it for over a month with no issues a spare set of discs come with it but im not sure if they fit was told by previous owner that they might . . ?
Rear manifold isnt pretty and has had a bodged repair downpipe. As the numpty who built it put the fuel pump in the engine bay when warm is suffers with vapour lock as the fuel in the lines heats up and dissolves, so you have to turn the key 5x or similar to get the fuel back up and it starts 1st time.
Underneath has been welded a few times and in places isnt pretty but its solid as a rock, its not a show car just a very quick road car. The paintwork is quite good i heard it was diy but has a nice shine to it!

As above im just being honest i have had little porkies told 2 me lol

Scott stop being gay! with that new job you can get a runner TDI for Penny's (old Mondeo) and then keep this, save some Penny's and buy better car later, new job will give enough money for two cars, as im on same sort of wage..
