Paint work wasn’t the best had to have replacement bonnet drivers wing and even the bumper. The interior is black leather but is missing some of the trim and at some point previous owner had replaced the roof lining making things not fit proper. Was in daily use until about 5 weeks ago but had a issue where both front hubs had failed basically the ball joint has worn out in the hub I tried to get a secondhand drivers hub and they seem to be like hens teeth so due to needing a car a got a saloon that’s a diesel tourer. I really don’t want to scrap this one as it’s a early one but scrap has offered £465 lifted from home if the car had been in n.I I would have had it lifted down to a friends and parked up until I had a doner one for parts to bring this one back up to scratch
Thanks to Craig 861, the old girl has been put back together and she's mine now. Scrap man averted, she's back on the road now.

Ravinder I owe you a pint next time I'm in Kirkcaldy as I would never have known about it!
