mattywatsit Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hi All, This car has quite a story (as you will see in the pictures...) I will start by what it is though: Model: Hyundai Accent 1.3i 12V GSYear: 2000 (X)Mileage: 88,000MOT: 12months!Pics: (Lots, below....)Location: Sunderland, Tyne & WearPrice: £395Contact details: Matt on 07455159581 So here goes!... I bought POSH (Piece Of $***e Hyundai) in February with the intention of teaching my OH to drive; whilst having something unusual to use now and again. I had the car two days and the clutch went! I was unsure what to do, but was strangely attracted to it and decided fixing it was the only way forward!... Fast forward a few days the gearbox was out and I found a new box would be a good idea due to a bell housing crack - again I should have maybe given up but I decided NO! I would continue to fix... skip another few days and I had a donor car for £100 to get a gearbox (and other bits...) from. The car came to me with a cracked front bumper and dented passenger wing due to a 'bump' with another car by the previous owner, not significant but I decided as the panels were nice on the donor car id have them! Equally the bonnet had something dropped onto it by pervious owner when in a garage, so I changed that too... everything went back together and with a small service the car was running as new and pressed straight into action! Fast forward to just a few days ago - MOT was due, there was a slight exhaust leak from the front Flexi so I decided to change the whole front exhaust section as they are so cheap at circa £30! then 12months test was easily obtained! I have now decided to put my OH on my daily (boring Focus) and teach her in that... sell POSH and get something more retro again. To summerise:- Recon Gearbox- New Clutch kit- New Gearbox oil- New clutch fluid- New (recon) starter motor- New rear wheel bearing (N/SR)- New Exhaust front section- Full service (Oil, Coolant and filters)- 4 Near New Tyres (All same make)- CD player- Electric Windows- 12months MOT- Not one, but two spare wheels! (and a full set of spare wheel nuts...)- Unique styling!....- Can come with a gazillion spares also! (Lights, Clocks, Mirrors, Trims etc etc.... off the donor car) All it needs is the front end painting to match the back, or like me - leave it looking like a bad cut and shut! It does have some marks (what 15yr old car doesn't?) however no rust at all! and it is absolutely solid underneath and will provide you with at least 12months easy cheap motoring! Will also potentially come with just under half a tank of fuel!... £Offers - Thanks It actually owes me £518, so someone is going to get a bargain as all of the niggles have been removed - couple of advisories for the future but the MOT tester was very complimentary. Will PX (potentially either way) with something retro..... Cheers,Matthew oldcars, Skizzer, nacho man and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattywatsit Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Will it do 60 ? It will do the legal 70 with ease... but of course I can't talk of any speeds beyond that which it won't will easily do also! Thanks for all the comments! I have been a reader for a long time but not posted until now! Ben - that 309 was a beaut, well worth buying back! tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
