Ready to be picked up tomorrow for scrap!

Not too bothered tbqfh as ive seen the light and realise its not worth spending the cash on it to get it road worthy, mainly due to what it will cost to put the rust right. To be honest its solid all over bar the arches, but cant justify spending the dollar to get it right and chance it all re-appearing!

Im in the market for another one with a solid shell (i hope!) and can put the 2.0 in that one!

Is that what you call rust ?? lol
Surely repairing that is much cheaper than finding a new one ,on the other hand the car you know is always in better condition than the one you dont !!!

2k for a decent spray job?
500 for new sills and welded in?
1k plus for rear pair of new arches?

Proper job like, not just a quick rub down and re-spray...?

The prices you got up there are unreal in my world ^^
I would expect a decent paint job under 1k which i know is possible.

And how much do you expect to pay for one that has "NO RUST" !!!!
with "FACTORY FRESH" paint work ???

Its not just the qty of rust lads, its what it will cost to put it right.

Its an £800 car at best in mint condition.

If its not a problem to fix the rust then someone would have taken it off my hands on the forums it was offered on.

Anyway! Its gone now! To china and to return as a washing machine!!!

Hi

Can I ask why the car was stripped in the first place?
