[Guest bangerfan101]

It's not the engine you need to worry about. It's the tin worm under your seat, feet that will skint you. They wob like an alfa under a tree

[vulgalour]

They wob like an alfa under a tree

 

Close, but what you meant to say surely was "They rot like an Alfa in the sea."

[STUNO]

Must admit that I have not seen a rusty Ka here yet, and yes, Ford DID sell them .

[theshadow]

looks are deceiving,well beside small plate done sill,usual around petrol,theyre is no underbody rot at all,odd surface corrision,,looks rough on top,look at wires he used to wire up radio/speakers,household flex..... :-Dmore to follow...

[Cavcraft]

Well bought, sir. Looks truly appalling.

[Craig the Princess]

That is wonderfully grim.

[oldcars]

Had the bumper been riveted on? What's the play-doh masterpeice on the scuttle for? So many questions, so much grimness.

[UmBongo]

'I like driving in my car, it's not quite a jaguar...'

 

But I wouldn't want to drive that.

 

Sorry.

[SiC]

The perfect Ka to hunt out the newest, shiniest and newest new car to park next to. Or playing the game on seeing how many other cars dare park next to it.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

50 quid? You were robbed mate.

[theshadow]

has mot for 6 mths,the black tape on the roof lived in morcambe,holed than the water got to sill,hence small plate,previous owner spent £590 on new rear axle bushes,pads,bottom arms,coil,leads,etc..... :-Dtime for scrapyard for a good tyre,drivers needs doing cheaply...

[johngarty]

Great buy. Totally shite 

[theshadow]

went to scrapper yesterday,bought a dark blue mattellic passenger front wing,if its blue it matches,bought rear interior door panel,s  due the numpty cutting out plastic,than putting 500w speakers, in,had to do  rear brake line,its was leaking ...it drove fine,bought the service kit from ecp,yet to bog up the front wing,still pissing it down,still driving ok,painted some underneath with lidls finest black metal paint,may paint the bonnet yet in the stuff,or roller it on...

[Parky]

What's that stuff on the front of the A pillar?? Looks like black bathroom sealant invisibly* applied, possibly to hide a hole.....

 

Great buy though, it looks as if it could become a benchmark for future forum purchases

 

"Yeah, I went to see it but it made Shadows KA look like a concours d'elegance winner"

[HH-R]

Crikey, that's had more hits than the Bee Gees. Hard to go wrong for £50 though, top shiteing.

[explosive-cabbage]

Tell me, why would you do that to yourself? It is repulsive!

 

Shame havn't got the faintest theshadow of what you're trying to write.

[KruJoe]

That is rancid, even for a Ka.

I don't recall seeing one in that colour before, but I remember when there were Mk4 Escorts everywhere, most of them were that blue.

[Insideimsmiling]

It is certainly distinctive!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Looks the absolute pits

[Ghosty]

 

[cros]

I think that Ka is OK. Just a shame technology doesn't yet permit us a whiff of the interior. I had an hour stripping out the furnishings of my rusty Rover today, 55 years of decay, an olfactory treat.

[billyboy406v6]

How can a 53 plate car look so scabby ? Well bought sir. Nato green paint applied with a foam roller will make it mega !

[Cavcraft]

You should 100% defo buy another now. Especially a silver one with leather seats

[Faker]

How could you go wrong for 50 quid?

[Split_Pin]

Looks like tigerseal in the pillar, another favourite rot spot. The roof hole is bizarre though. Well bought for 50 quid, perfectly fine if it's for an emergency car.

[vulgalour]

That's delightfully appalling.  In that colour it reminds me of Mk3 Fiestas, which is fitting because the Ka is much more like a Fiesta than the Fiesta of the same age.

[JonnyHS]

I can taste the smell of the interior from here. My throat is burning.

[theshadow]

pictures tomorrow,bonnet is now painted black, with aldis finest metal paint,have removed front bumper,bit a filler on the wing,will put bumper back on,used evo-stik stiks like shit adhesive.... :-D
