A mate of mine had a mk1 fiesta which had a huge square spotlight with toggle switch bolted inside the engine bay . It was usefull if you had to do anything and needed the light but seemed to be a odd thing to go to the trouble to do . not a bad idea..youd be glad of it when you need it one night , guess weve all had a random spot light laying around

yep id finish up the filler around the 320/400 mark , don't go finer as the primer needs that key to stick well
make every last effort to clean every trace of rust away ..kurust doesnt do alot

sounds fair enough , i think alot of people seem to think private sales are like tescos/argos when you can take stuff back for no questions refunds

i have a selection of their stuff
the comp is fine for hobby use , the blaster isnt really suitable as the comp cant keep up with it , maybe suit a 10p size scab but thats all

alsorts on the gearbox i think , make sure it sounds nice and all gears work as they should, no savage leaks etc
if you buy it maybe change the gear oil or make sure its topped up

id consider using one but like the others say what happens when a bolt snaps or i need some random part and cant finish the job
a secure storage yard thats £cheap for the first few days to allow you to overcome any unseen problems would be a help
maybe offer some kind of loyalty card where regular users get a discount and trade price oils n stuff ?
what would you do about mongs damaging tools or stealing them

I'm no expert here , but don't take too much notice of insurance groups , at least for me being older the group doesnt seem to have much relation to the price to insure the car
try adding on some older named drivers , so mum / nan etc

don't like them myself , lots and lots of people suffer blisters
maybe if the car is used often , like several times a week it might suit more

i would be looking at attaching a plate along the side of where the light fits ..either light fixing holes or weld a plate on , then attach it to a chain or ratchet strap to the nearest strong tree or lamp post
carefullly push the car away while dressing down the high spots
same again where its ruined the tailgate gap..weld something on and batter /lever /pull it into shape

mot should be easy to pass with a half tidy car , its just a basic roadworthyness check tyres , brakes , rust holes etc
BUT , ask around for a trusty place to take it as lots like to invent faults to scam the customer for more money
