This is what £80 of car looks like.

Not too shabby. Some rust but the only bit that might fail an MOT is fixable. A new battery got it running but it takes ages to fire and idles at like 2000-3000 rpm. Managed to drive it so it sort of goes and stops. I think cleaning the idle control valve and replacing the ancient petrol should sort the high idle.

Nice :) I picked up one of these for free once, cleaned it out and made it look really nice and sold it again for £300!

Nice. This is my friends first car so he just wanted cheap as possible so he can save for somsthing nicer once no claims are built up.

Na this is for a friend, we managed to get the Saxo going. I guessed head gasket, but when we ran diagnostics we found out the coil was bad. Its losing compression in cylinder 3 and coolant but it runs okay with the new coil despite what seem to be HG issues. So well run it into the ground.

It’s going to be a DD so no jumping unfortunately. Less destructive hooning will be done, plus were painting it for fun. We’re brainstorming ridiculous rattle can paintjobs at the moment. Racing stripes will be making an appearance.
