The needed some work doing on them too. Not just a simple straight forward refurb.

cheeky gits! those wheels are a good £400 of a refurb! means its more than £1200 though. The top one is nothing of my doing.. Undone all the "added dazza w**k"

Took a quick snap on my lunch break. What a difference 4months&£1200 makes! Before After

Mines just short of 80k on a 53. It will be lucky to rise 3k a year.

Skipton you say.... How much then?! Mine could do with a bloody good polish.

Stiff bit of plastic should pop off. Mine came off fairly easy to paint. Shame my painting skills are shite.

Unlucky.. What's with your plate going white under camera flash? Never noticed mine do that!

I've known two who have sold their cars for export. My stepdad sold his ph1 172 to a Frenchy for cash over eBay. All went very smoothly. Another lad in the village sold his V6 to a chap living near the nurburgring, picked him up from the airport, handed over the cash and off they went. Just...

On the upside though, my insurance renewal came through. Its now bugger all a month :)

Tell me about it :( I tend to keep cars till they wear out, looks like i'm stuck with this one!

Blew the rad hoses last month, £270ish gone. Hub got replaced too Onto this weeks latest though. I got the wheels sorted out. 4 with buckles, 1 had a small crack. All been professionally straightened and welded, topped off with a powder coat of silver. Drives so much better!

You were behind us off the roundabout. Looking rather clean! 172cup and a silver dci. Just picked up the cup after a wheel repair&refurb

about 33-34, mostly town driving whilst the choke's still on. Does 40+ on a run though :)

Dropped it off yesterday to have the wheels refurbed :) Back to lovely standard silver!

Mine rattled when I got it, only when hot though. Turned out to be the dephaser pulley. Check YouTube for some videos of the noise.

local motor factors?

+1 Or the mod's muney spent on buying a car instead Justification: I bought cheap, I'm going to be £1500 in just repairs by next month trying to put it straight.

Looks bloody good does that!

Looks standard bar the wheels now. Just need to get my arse in gear and put up a FS thread with the bits ive taken off, See if I can recoup something.

Its off the car now. Bloody orrible!

That's what I worked it out to be over a tank of 200+ m-way and 120+ of local driving(Usual week). I rarely put my foot down. Quick squirt to overtake then lightly feather the pedal to keep speed. Just cant be arsed trying to drive fast most of the time, Some idiot either gets in the way or your...

Exactly how I'm feeling! I'll get another set of Turini's next month, throw a bit more cash at it and see how I'm feeling. The MPG is nearly at what the Fiesta was doing(44) so the economy is good, My mate in his Octy VRS is only getting 37 when being a complete good boy, I can thrash mine and...

Mk 5 Zetec-S. Had it 6 years, 70k+ done in it.

It certainly was cheap, If you look on the project thread at some of the pictures you would get an idea, The previous owners really shagged it up. Speed wise it does piss all over the Fiesta. I'm probably just moaning as the car isnt at where I want it? Over 6years I had replaced every part of...

I'm on my 3rd month of owning my Clio now. 1st month it was off the road waiting on parts to be fitted, belts&dephaser, de-chavving it, All in the parts alone are standing me at a £1000, £2000 including the car. Yes it was cheap and I'm feeling that now! It still needs a new set of wheels as the...

I thought those Astra vans were alright. One I drove went like the clappers for a 1.3.
