FIXERUPPER of the week/day

Ded_Zebra

My sister has a punto with a good body but the engine isn't great in it. It suffered oil starvation to the cam shaft at some point. I'm trying to convince her to buy your punto and I'll swap the engine for her. She just doesn't have the money at the moment though. If you still haven't sold it by the time she can afford it maybe she'll get it. Hope you have it sold by then as it might be a long time!!

I was thinking of breaking it but, ah, I don't know.



For a field car it's alright but I don't think they will bother putting it through the NCT. The problem is that I'm in the middle of nowhere which makes both buying and selling things difficult.

Same here. Very remote. Can be hard to sell a car when people hear where you are.
You are in the middle of the country compared to me

If you were closer Gvido I'd take that Punto from you.

Engine alone is worth that around here

Interesting how I had it up here for about 2 weeks or so and nobody showed interest. Now everybody wants it. :pac:

Lads I'm selling a 1.4 facelift Corolla liftback, it has seven months tax and 160-odd k on the clock, runs very very well. Two (brand)new tires just put on the front and two previous owners.

It failed the test on two very curious little holes on each sill (have pics) but they've been fixed and it's ready to go through again but missed the retest deadline by a week. Passed on absolutely everything else. 400 if anyone on here wants it

Very curious rust patches? :P?

They're like too perfect circles...caused by a trolley jack or something but in any case its solid everywhere else!

You're gonna say two previous owners included in price? And both on the front?

Tfb are you looking for a parts car? Celica 190 with leather seats and nice looking wheels with an engine needing "attention" for 300 quid

Toyotafanboi

That's a joke!! 2zz's go for sick money! My old engine with 200k on it and a blown head gasket sold for €450 for just the bare engine I believe. If that was anywhere near me i'd have it.

****ing Passat B5.5 wheels on it?

UK import, exact same spec as mine, Black pleather, sunroof, climate control, alloy pedals, the whole lot. Will actually probably lose a bit of sleep over that.

Probably spun a bottom end?

I'd be interested in a few bits and pieces from it if you take it.

Toyotafanboi

Not a fear i'l be taking it, I just don't have the time for it. Shame though, it's going for pocket change.
