my bargain of a daily driver

Post by jord294 »

thought i'd best post some photos of my cheapy daily driver, which was taxed and tested at the time. with a run down of money spent so far

£220, but with a snapped n/s front spring
£35 bought me a pair of almost new monroe struts, springs, droplinks and driveshaft, from the scrapyard :D
£55 REFUND on insurance change :cheesy:
£20 for o/s driving lamp in bumper
£90 for top engine mount, oil, 4 x filters, thermostat and coolant
£5 for piece of sill from scrapyard
£30 and 4 cans of grolsch for payment of welding
£15 for rattle cans of waxoyl and paint
£40 for m.o.t

depending on finances, i plan to get the car lowered and fit some nice black 17" wheels

oh, and hopefully gonna be buying a towbar off a forum member :)

Welcome to the club mate, I can see a lot of time and money being spent on this instead of Black Beauty. :wink:
