There. Don't say I don't give you anything. This saloon would only need a bonnet, bumper and grille basically. £100 worth of bits and sorted. Nice looking car and S-plate too.

I did see that earlier today when browing....

I was just unsure of the damage inside maybe rad problems. Dunno how the local plod might react to me driving it...

I am looking at an estate at the moment on '99 ... 156k miles but no work needed, jsut poor ebay ad

Yeah i am budgeting for a cambelt change, also be usefull to learn as its a 2.0. So good practice for mine.

Its going for £200 at the mo with 10 mins left... 99' T or V i think.... late gls spec but estate will be popular and the smaller engine...
