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

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.

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:
