Bargin damian, snap his hand off.:agree:
will do if i get chance.. may even be able to tidy it up a bit as hes enver washed it in his life.
Going to suck driving a saxo though but i guess the fuel bill will drop massivley

Damian I drive a n reg fiat cinq, nicknamed the White mouse as a cheap get around, and I'm 6 foot 3 , Got to be better than that! :laugh:
If you fixed the door and wing and painted it, what would it be worth? £750 tops?
How much will it cost you to sort it out incl paint?
Worth the effort? Not my cup of tea.
Worth £200 just to hammer about for a few month then scrap. As Trev said not worth the effort doing it up unless you get the parts cheap/free.
i drive a P reg k11 1litre micra, definately one of the best moves i've made to save money.
a 1.1 saxo will be just as good.

do it deej! cant beat a bit of no nonsense motoring, you will just appreciate your current cars more when you jump in them on the weekend
plan isnt to make cash on the car, plan is to have a cheap runner for a few months and sell it for what i pay for it. :) thanks though folks ill see if i can get hold of it.

All I do is make sure oil is topped up and coolant level is good, no filter changes no nothing! had it nearly a year if I go down to London at 60 mph I can get 500 miles from £35 :laugh:
