Default Wheel Question

My beloved Tourer has signed it's death warrant and beyond my budget to repair after mot. I put it on eBay but didn't even make £200. It has four nearly new tyres. My daughter has a mk 3 Mondeo anyone know if wheels are compatible? Was thinking if swapping for her.

Don’t think they are interchangeable with Mk3 mondeo, the wheels on 75’s & ZT’s are interchangeable with classic Subaru’s tho and some other brands, but can’t remember the others off hand, why did it fail the MOT ?

Lots of labour stuff. 30 years ago I'd have done it as a project but too old now.

It's a shame because shes never missed a beat even with 164k on. Was still confidence to row to Scotland this year. Never did less than 42 mpg even around town.

Great cars and would have another if they were still around.

and if you were closer I'd say bring it over. Always wanted to have a go at making brake pipes
Don't send it for scrap, if you are going to get shot put it in the members cars for sale section as it is mostly DIY.

trouble with labour costs being so high cars are not worth doing but how much is the labour and how much will you spend to replace it?
