well, something else poped up on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9861&item=4532588501&rd=1


might go and have a looky, its only 20 miles away.


seems a bit suspect tho, was on about a week ago, then went down for 2 days, then back up under new name with 0 feedback...

might just be being paranoid.

i was thinking that.. but seeing as it dose have complete 12 year full service history. leathers, zorst, alloys and looks pretty clean.

i suppose id be quite willing to spend a tad more, but depends what his reserve is..

but then, i could get one for 150...rite shitter one. and i have 90% of the parts sat outside on the old clio.

ill just have to see..

the old clio cost £600...well £595

off topic...but what is this retro respect all about?!?

Well, saves making a new post.

but decided to attack the car today to see exactually what damage there is,

and its not all that bad.

just need a bit of reshaping. only problem is the not so nice looking bend in the chassis rail. but even that isnt to bad.

dont know what the dvla, police or MOT will say about it tho, thats the problem.

anywho. pics (yes i did get some batts)

but then it might just be me thinking positive this time :/

the kink in the chassis rail is pretty hefty.

Get the bumper and bonnet etc off and get a better look.

If its not to bad get a battery back in there and a chain and a sturdy lampost and re-shape it.

If you have not declared it as scrap or written off to the insurers then theres no reason for the DVLA or the police etc to even know its been in a bang.

only delcared it sorn.

the only other problem i was thinking, is the light housing took a rather hefy bash.

so once thats straigh (ish) it might not pass the MOT on the light alignment..

then thell look to see why its out of alligment, and see the bends.

ill try and get a better pic of the kink, its hard tho, with them wrong way operning bonnets!!
