DodgyBastard Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Proton gls1.3i 12 valve5 speed box4 wheels4 doors1 bootquestionable paintworkCarisma 3 spoke alloys in "Aldi" white It starts and goes reasonably well but as of today the brakes are knackered, the pedal goes to the floor and the rear brake lines are burst as they bend up the rear next to the chassis rail.I can't be arsed trying to fix it so if anyone wants it for absolutely fuck all then come take it away.I'll keep the alloys and fit the original steels.

DodgyBastard Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Bloody he'll, just looked at the Mot history too. Only had 1 fail and that wasn't for anything major. It's just a pity I've ruined the paintwork on it. I am really regretting painting it now. I've fallen out of love with it lately and would rather drive anything else, Mrs FOAD isn't a fan either.I've come to the conclusion that it requires more effort than I'm willing to give in order to make it presentable again. It has been a great car and never let me down but I'd rather someone else got the use out of it.The only welding I've carried out was bodging a new filler neck together with bits of old exhaust. It's not pretty but it does the job.The sun roof has been plastered in silicone but it still lets in a little water from time to time.I would prefer not to roffle it and it to go to someone who wants it. I'm not asking a lot for a good usable but cosmetically challenged car which could do someone a turn until the end of the summer. stephen01 and purplebargeken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 A good ole rub down and some http://marcusglenn.com/military-vehicle-paint would have this looking much more presentable in a weekend. Someone did a van near me recently that was clearly end of life (but he wanted to feel less ashamed of his unfortunate poverty) and it came up a treat! Good luck with it FOAD.

Alas, a lack of storage space sinks that idea. Forgive me - but if you want to annoy them, I'd suggest not putting it in a barn 15 miles from their front room window.

vulgalour Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 It'd take a while, but you could do it. Depends what prep was done but it shouldn't be insurmountable. Alternatively, key it all back and give it a fresh coat of something or wrap it. Has potential and I'd have it myself as I'm very partial to these but (sorry FOAD) it's really bad timing as I've just got no space and time to look after it, let alone properly.

stephen01 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I want this just because it's 100 quid and i'm in scotland land at the end of the month. also i missed out on one about 12 months ago. it looks so rough and unloved i want to take it away and make it lovely - none of this would ever get done as i never have time to do anything like this but i can dream.
