I've bought it to fix then sell on for a tidy profit to help boost the trophy fund :D
Just need to find a replacement door to fix this

Just a bit of experimenting, no they're fine but the white 17's had better tyres so that's why they're on & I'll sell the standard ones on ebay or something. I'll see if they fit my valver (doubt they will fit like) if they do I could loan them out to you guys getting refurbs :wink:

Got some other goodies with it I'll be able to sell and I reckon the car will sell pretty quick once it's fixed. My mum & dad want 1st refusal on it :shock: so does my mechanic who's fixing my valver :lol: I've also had loads of old dears coming past my house & commenting how nice it is and how much they like it while I've been tinkering and got even more interested when I told them it was for sale after I fixed it.

Full service history and had a new engine put in at 44k - it's 1st service not done by Honda the garage royally ****ed the engine :roll: so they had to replace it :lol: The cars only done 64k :D

Hit 2 snags so far :evil: 1st one is sourcing a door, absolute ballache finding anyone who's breaking one :x 2nd is that my guy who done my valver is snowed under and fully booked up with work for the next couple of months so he can't do the work for me :cry: He quoted me £500 to fix it all & respray the whole side, maybe an extra £100 if the sill needs replacing.

Can anyone recommend me a decent body repair shop no too far away, whos quality of work can be vouched for and can get it in pretty quick as I've only got temporary insurance on it.

Hiya - I'd recommend LW Smart Repairs in Alfreton - he did all the work o mine - give him a try - his name is Lee Watson - tell him I sent you and you should get a good rate!! :wink:
