its bad enough to bother trying to sort it out, especially when ive got a perfectly good lude anyway. tbf the bodywork isnt that bad, the boot is scrap though, got loads of holes in it from that hooooge spoiler, and has got lots of little dents in it that looks like someone has smashed the fook out of it with a small hammer

the bonnet has a rusty front edge. the arches are quite clean apart from a small bit of bubbling at the bottom of the drivers side where it meets the sill. and underneath the car has some surface rust but seems solid.

im not very sure the engine is healthy as it smells like its been burning oil. under the bonnet is quite tatty, the rad stays have been spot welded because the bolts have snapped, lots of rusty components and pretty much every bolt under there. with this, i have decided to keep the engine myself, dismantle it, see whats what and put it back together to maybe go in my lude in the near future

interior isnt bad, but the dash board has lots of screw holes and various switches

there was a reason this sold so cheap, and i knew there was a chance it wouldnt be worth sorting out. fortunately the goodies on the car will help me get my money back, and also there are a few bits i can keep for myself
