CBA removing the front wheel, so the journey home was immense fun*

This 218,000 miles 1.8 petrol MOT failure is happening. These really must rank as about the most unwanted and cheapest cars about these days...

Cheers, might message them. It failed in some part of the exhaust, ABS light on, emissions, rear shocks and a couple of other things, oh one was clutch master cylinder leaking I think.

 

It was absurdly cheap to be honest so any yard offer will probably get it.

Can now do an advert* banging on about 7AFE CRSPACECADET UOKHUNGL 3MOTIONXFE, or whatever people always twat on about Japanese cars when they sell them.

 

 

Not really, but if anyone wants it, or wants to swap their rubbish bits for anything better left on this (good luck with that one) let me know super-duper ASAP.

Right, times are changing. Due to my own laziness/recent circumstances, this has happened...

...and the Escort van will be following the black Focus 'Collection' to the yard, possibly the white 'Collection' too (both not pictured), plus a Corsa if I get the engine out of it first. Plan is to keep both ST170s (above), the ST220, both Pumas and this ridiculous eBay car that hasn't arrived yet.

Sadly, the daft eBay purchase is off. The seller says he had it on the back of his truck, the winch locked on and by trying to remove it it's knackered the sill.

Well, getting the bumpers off the black one was fun*. Luckily I had a wood saw, a hammer, screwdrivers and sockets. But mostly hammer and screwdriver. Also the stupid thing won't start now, so had to put a good battery on it and keep turning the key when in first gear to get it out. Absolute bastard of a job like, but got there in the end...

Puma Thunder was a bit of a bastard, bonnet catch was playing up, then it nearly grounded itself coming out. The dark grey ST is really shit to be honest, but it limped out of the garden ok.

Escort van had properly dug itself in, and even though the battery was mintola and it starts first time, it wasn't powerful enough to get out of the hole it'd created. Cue tow rope over the spring, out of gear, handbrake off, wheel locked over and towed it to the top by myself with the Transit...

Van and black 'Collection' getting sacked off very soon.

Looks at eBay cycles section to avoid buying something with engine, only partially succeeds...
