So this is my second car, first one was a Peugoet 106 that had sat in my mums front garden for 2 years without moving, had that for a month before I noticed the head gasket was going, so quickly sold it (£450, and the buyer knew about the gasket haha) and bought this.
This is how it was when I got it
I paid £950, was generally happy
x) although the car needed some serious work, the pics don't show it but the front bumper was a mess, stone chips everywhere and a crack at the bottom left, the driverside wing was cracked when I bought it and taped up, back bumper was very loose on one side and eventually got another crack (that was my fault). :dapprove: I also noticed the sunroof leaks quite bad and still does to this day.
I had the car a month before the clutch went, got a mate to fit another one for £160 all in so not too bad, been running fine since although still had issues... got MOT done on 21st, garage quoted me £315 for the work, same mate who done the clutch done the work for £80, parts cost £100 which included 2 front shockies, nearside wheel bearing, 2 lower front end suspension ball joints, driverside track rod end ball joint, and my back brakes were unbalanced so he scrubbed them up and they JUST passed, will be getting looked at later.
Anyway, had enough of the state of the car so since I've bought it I purchased things as I went along, moved in with girlfriend last month too so had a little more cash from college etc (I'm a HNC student) and so far I've had the front bumper replaced, back bumper replaced, driverside wing replaced and all sprayed pearl black and fitted, got some tail lights which I haven't fitted yet and getting new headlights/foglights asap.
Here is how it looks today (not had a chance to give it a proper clean yet!)
Still got a lot to do but happier already.
Future plans:
Give it a proper clean!
Looking at getting centre caps for the wheels (no clue what make the wheels are, guys son painted them apparently) and them sprayed black, or just new (smaller) wheels.
Fog lights bought and fitted.
New headlights as they are a mess.
Tail lights fitted.
Going to buy some carbon fibre wrap and do some of the insides, and some other wee bits and bobs.
Getting the plastics colour coded, or at the very least I'll get back to black and make them shine.
Get the back windshield motor removed and the hole filled.
Any other suggestions?
