Yeah, I wouldn’t be as upset if I’d paid £195 for it. It’s all good fun though.

Been like that for years! Still plenty of life left in em.

Interior isn’t too bad though after a clean. None wrinkled door cards.

Far too much.

She’s crashed hers today.

I tried to make some money on this volvo. I think I’m going to fail. It was for sale up Cumbria way. Last owner since 2011, mot ran out in January, 153k miles. It looked pretty tidy in the pictures so I thought I’d buy it to see if I could flip it on. Bought it blind and paid £195 to have it...

Im breaking myself in gently.

The replacement...

Sold.

I’m old. I just read this and wanted to type don’t bother but I stopped myself. well, I kind of did.

It was like a piece of Swiss cheese. The guy had repaired it with cardboard and toilet roll. Cleaned it up now. Just need the volvo badge on there.

Got Craig to help me with the wing today as he’s in my support bubble. I spent 6 hours trying and failing to fit it so felt a little vindicated when a welder and grinder was needed. Needs a bit of clean. It’s on eBay at the moment. 101 watchers yet strangely I’ve only had one message!

Hill Power - what a name from the past. One of the few clio tuners / specialists that bowed out with his reputation still intact! Restore it!

Air it out bru.

No, he gave me £400 for it. If I could’ve put it on the 740 I’d of kept it but I couldn’t.

He did tell me he’d keep me informed on how the repairs went.

Goodbye.

Ive found it’s harder to sell a car when it’s broken!

Eye spy is still one of my favourites. I’m also partial to a game of slaps or knuckles.

Deposit taken. The dream is over.

31 years to be exact.

Before I new someone who can weld I was the same. When the average age of your car is 30 years old you have to accept the odd bit of corrosion.

It had an advisory for ‘underbody corrosion’ - I think that was a bit of an understatement!

Nooo, it’s a 32 year old car, its gonna need a tickle every now and again. I’ll at least use it over the summer months to drive to and from my daily exercise spot.

According to my welding guy the chap who mot’d the doka must have been stevie wonder. Great. All welded up now though and should be back this weekend.

I watch Jesse collingham for the comments.

what a beauty!

Yeah, that’s a tad over priced!

I never stop working on them.
