DILLIGAF?: Project Ratty

The stripping of anything worthwhile has begun.
And now the front looks so sh*t
That's it now, Bert is ending this week, one last journey never to be seen again. :cry:

are you sure this is what you want. they are so rare and would be nice if someone could buy it off you to restore…..... it would have a pretty keen enthusiast to restore the paint to its original colour mind :P these things do happen i guess. i had a mondeo mk1 with full RS bodykit and i loved it. then like a twonk i booted it up hill and got to the top to find steam coming out of the bonnet and a very jerky ride. managed to bunnyhop it home to find there was no water left in it. almost everything important blew including head gasket and wierdly the starter motor. hated it but managed to sell it for bangers :( keep us informed on what you get next

Yeah, it's time for this car to be laid to rest. The water pump HAS gone like I had feared, so include this to the list of things needing doing (welding, new sump, front bushes, cam belt, MOT and anything picked up in that) and I think I'd be looking at a healthy bill, probably the size of a semi decent second hand car (my estimate for the parts before the MOT was around £500-without the bushes).
It just makes sense, if I had the time and space I'd have struggled on but one thing seems to be leading to another and there comes a point where you're throwing good money away that could be put towards a new car, one that won't need any work for some time.
I'll be here to pester you all with stories of my new motor (not just the pedally bike :lol: ).
