Picked up a cheap Mondeo yesterday. 2.0 zetec bit of panel damage (drivers door and passenger wing) £60 only really want it for the engine to go in another project. That made a total of 15 cars so promised the wife that was it until I got rid of a few, but in all honestly she doesnt complain how many cars I have or what they look like.
Promise broken today when looking in the classics and collectors section of the local free ad paper.
Corolla GT 16V easy restoration so quick confusing couple of phone calls later ( the bloke who was selling it had put his sons mobile and landline number in hadnt told his son who by this point was sick of people phoning asking about the corolla gt he had for sale ;D) Find out its actually a FWD AE82 which is a damn shame but turns out its one owner from new FSH has been off the road for two years waiting to be restored. Ask him how much he wants for it and am told, "well to be honest if you are going to restore it you can have it for nowt"
Call TonyCC/CCX to try to get him to convince me I don't want it, didnt work ;D
Then call the wife and tell her the story and ask if its okay to get, "yes no problem as long as you get rid of something soon" ;D ;D ;D
Went to have a look tonight C reg goldy looking colour brown and beige interior. Very solid looking car. Bumpers and wings all removed car looks really good for the year two small bits of welding needed at the back Comes complete with two brand new front wings two new rear arch repair sections and all bits needed to put it back together.
Will get some pics tomorrow in daylight.
Thankyou for Tony CC for giving me a hand tonight and a massive thankyou to my better half for once again allowing me to take up yet more space in the yard with yet another project vehicle ;D
