My new rust bucket.

My new rust bucket.

It's rusty as fuck, and i've just discovered that it's had a minor bump earlier in its life (they must have replaced the light but the bonnet and bumper are very slightly gimped next to the front wheel), but for £175 I can't really complain. The alloys alone are worth more!

Runs fine, had a wee drive around Cramlington today.

Let's hear it for Bobby

ouch..

I'd hate to think what the underneath looks like if the panels are that rusty

For £175 thats a fookin bargin!

Needs a bit of work but so do most cars..

id rather crawl on my hands and knees than be seen in that.

You do anyway ket rat

its gets me from A to B.

which is a lot more than that piece of shit will do for you.

might be getting new bumpers from the scrap yard.. i don't think its possible to get that much rust off with that colour restorer shit..

You'd be suprised!

It drives fine so far.. me my mates and my mam had a go. Rust needs sorting out

Re: My new rust bucket.

so I can expect you picking me up for a change then

Re: Re: My new rust bucket.

Bobby would be honoured.

Would you?

Guessing ull need new sills for the next mot?

for the arches and that price, there not worth repairing, just get some chrome arch covers, like u see on 80's Mercs

Mines coming along well too..

Sills webba? wassat?

Excuse me, i'm not very car literate. Bumper, CD player and alloy wheels are the only words i'm really familiar with!

'steering wheel'?

Sorry mate, sills are the bits of metal which attach the floorpan (underneath) to the sides of your car. Have a look just under the doors, on each side a metal line will stick out along the length of the car, just see how rusty they are

I'm gonna get some more soon. Might even get the XR2i's if they fit, and are available from the scrap yard

I'm not paying for any new bumpers, they'd be worth more than i bought the car for but you can get bumpers and stuff for £20. It's had a light bump at the front right too, affecting the bumper and bit to the right of the bonnet. bonnet is intact.

is it still running

Fuck off, its his first car.

Its ok, put him onto some of my Ford Obsessed mates at www.interford.co.uk, should see him right.

Sounds like gear box mountings.

You the man Webba!
