So what can £100 get you? Contains DEAD BMW

[DeeJay]

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"

I have a mate that looks like Bernie....

[DeeJay]

Bugger me, your'e not Leepu AICMFP?

[Ben_O]

nope. thank fuck

[Parky]

I can tell you £100 can't buy a fucking premium bond for starters....

[Burnside]

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.

Sorry, shouldn't laugh but I did.

[billyboy406v6]

Great work, Leepu.

[Ben_O]

Well here is the £100 Focus

 

 

 

[Pillock]

Jesus, that's tested for a hundred quid?

Alloys, original CD player, looks straight, not been driven through a brick wall, no corpse in the boot.... What is meant to be wrong with it?

[Lacquer Peel]

 

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.

[purplebargeken]

Crikey, that Focus looks ace in a modern car sort of way. 

[mercrocker]

Impressive work...goes to show this kind of thing hasn't died out yet. Are you able to achieve all this without a ferry crossing? If so, I am double impressed.

[Ben_O]

It's not as good as it looks my friends....

 

Those are it's best sides

Nope, all local cars.

 

The furthest i have had to go is 8 miles

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.)

Cheers for that, ill give it a look see

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. Good work. 

[HH-R]

A Punto "60" will be the 1.2. EXTRA VALU 4 MONEY. Bo' Selecta!

[Ben_O]

For those wondering, this is what is wrong with the Fuckarse

 

 

 

 

 

But happily, these came with that car.

 

[purplebargeken]

Still, for a hundred quid it's a clear bargain

[Ben_O]

That's right, the bloke i got it from just spent that on the new doors!

[richardthestag]

 Hi, that's right, it wasn't so long ago those would have gone over the bridge for more and no one would have known otherwise or had the chance.

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.

 

Please keep this thread going, love this sort of thing.

[Ben_O]

cheers!

 

will update as i go

I think the B post has moved in at the bottom but i am a panel beater so repairing it won't be an issue.

 

Luckily for me nobody else was involved in the accident so it was never reported or recorded so there will be no marker on it!

[Ben_O]

Ill get one of these in the week
