DeeJay Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I don't know whether to take that as a compliment of an insult It was a compliment, an insult would have been "You are Bernie Fineman AICMFP" Ben_O, chaseracer, Pillock and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnside Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Thats great work on the Bo Selecta Punto just goes to show how a little time and effort spent can turn a car round in a short amount of time. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with the Focus next I've been seeing a few bargain priced one's lately too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Laguna 1.6, £50 It drives but needs a jump start if the weather is cold. MOT'd till July. Bit rough, something is about to give up, drive shaft or wheel bearing (not sure) and needs new back brakes. Vince70 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldofceri Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hey, just remembered my mate had a same-shape Punto of '97 vintage. One day the throttle or brake pedal (can't remember which) felt a bit weird and on closer inspection it was literally about to fall off. Might be worth a quick check before your mate drives off into the sunset! (Or off the end of the island.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiperCub Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 What with the price of scrap being on its arse again, there's a very pleasant return to usable dirt cheap hacks being available once more that have a fighting chance of seeing service again rather than a one-way to the bridge.

Cavcraft Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Another 'can't go wrong' winner there, I doff my proverbial hat in your direction, sir.Even if you just lob the doors in the boot and advertise as it is you'd surely double your money at the absolute worst.
