Well after some young lads decided to do this to my immaculate 30k mile N13
I went without a car for a while. At least until necessity reared it's head.
I considered a few options, but ended up winning this on Friday night and collecting yesterday.
It's a 94 205 Junior 3 door, 1.8 XUD (Lucas pump) 2 owners from new and a pretty cool plate from new. eBay nicked pictures as the weathers been awful..
It's pretty clean, bit of rot around the passenger window frame on the inside and it needs a good scrub. But i've done 160 miles in it so far for about a tenner and apart from a little vibration at 60 it drives pretty well. The throttle response is instantaneous and it's even quite perky, I'm very impressed. It's had two part worns and new pads and disks for the MOT so comes with 12 months. Also got a GTI front and rear valance thrown in and what looks like a brand new after market Sony stereo. Not bad for £370.
I don't really want to do much, I'd like to drop it a bit but I'm not too confident on torsion bars so not sure if I'll bother. I'll likely replace the missing trim and give it an oil change this week. Dash lights are pap so I'll see if I can brighten them up somehow.
