Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

[Mally]

mirrors only 15 complete inc glass off ebay

 

More than the cars worth.

[omegod]

I've a stack of spare fiesta steels with tyres if you happen to swing by my way anytime, just don't park it in my road pls

[oldcars]

That dash is class, loving the red. I have however seen cleaner fields.

[Kiltox]

Looks familiarly dirty

 

[Twiggy]

You â€‹were paid to take it away, weren`t you ? ? ?

[rantingYoof]

Tbh if I saw that for sale on Gumtree I'd have reported it as an offensive advert...

thats pretty tidy, :-D

[Supernaut]

This entire thread is fucking comedy gold, and the car is utterly rancid.

 

Great work Cav!

[Bren]

That upholstery is dirtier than a hamburg skin flick.

[Shep Shepherd]

Is the dashboard orange from the factory, or has a previous owner coloured it in?

[Pillock]

Naaah, Ford did a "1970s Vauxhall" on that shape Fiesta and there were a few different interior plastic colours. Red is quite rare, because it's a bit...... striking. I think there was a dark blue too which was better.

It's carried through to the Mk67 or whatever we're on now, still get red and blue but they're joined by Autoshite Brown.

[sierraman]

There's quite a market still for spares on these, a place near me strips them, goes through loads of em.

This reminds me of my farmer mate's L200, which had grass and weeds growing in the footwell and baby cow ectoplasm all over the back seats.

[RoadworkUK]

From the inside photo I can't tell where the interior starts and the outside finishes.

 

You'll need a a plough to get through the mud well before you reach the dirt.

 

Well bought!

[strangeangel]

I can smell that thing from here. More pics of the Raleigh Chainsaw speshul please.

[oldford]

Spend a day or two cleaning it up and it'll look good, the interior doesn't look too trashed as does the body, looks to be a decent colour as well.

It's standard from the factory. Colour is Tango Metallic on that Fiesta and this was the only colour that had a colour-coded dash.

 

Actually thinking on it, some had blue dashboards, especially the ST's / Zetec S.

[lexi]

baby cow ectoplasm is the "phrase of the day"

[trigger]

Thats the kind of car that a few days cleaning would transform and add £100's to the price. I'm using a 2004 1.4TDCi at the moment and although it's a bit noisy for 29k car it does drive well.

[Aston Martin]

If you were an utter bastard, you could take it to one of those Polski car washes and get a full valet for about £40.

[trigger]

To be fair thats what i would do!

[Kiltox]

I'd do that too at least as a first pass to get the worst off

[dave21478]

They would probably tell you to poke it.

Source: Have been turned away from a couple of Kosovan Kar Kleaner places for a too-dirty car.

 

 

20 minutes with someone elses vacuum cleaner would make a world of difference to that. Even better with a rented wetvac.

[steveo3002]

wouldnt be soo hard to have the carpet out and jet wash it , they come up a treat then hang it up to dry while you scrub the rest

[Cavcraft]

The plan is to just basically not do anything to it at all, and just punt it on 'as is'.

It'd be very therapeutic and quite enjoyable cleaning it (I'm sad like that) but it'd be easier to just (try and) find a home for it.

[omegod]

How little sheckels are you wanting and is it a 1.25, I'd only want it for parts ( not insidey ones )

[Cavcraft]

It's a 1250, or whatver they are. Will be too rich for you for parts I reckon, soz. I'm after £300, had a few sniffs but nothing concrete just yet.

[Kiltox]

How many miles has it done?

[Cavcraft]

Erm, f*ck knows, sorry. About 115,000 I think, will check at weekend and update if wanted. Soz for not knowing off hand.

[Kiltox]

No probs, too many for me to be arsed with it - should sell quickly at that money though even though it's minging
