What's the front subframe like ?
For starters it's hard now trying to find a rust free one and hard work changing one on your own.I knew that would be your first question!

Exactly my kind of project for sure.But when you have the workshop up and running.....

There’s a receipt from last week from the MOT garage in Wick that done a pre MOT check and the only thing on it is handbrakeExactly my kind of project for sure.
They have cars in Wick!?There’s a receipt from last week from the MOT garage in Wick that done a pre MOT check and the only thing on it is handbrake
I was in this car today, it’s actually a decent car that just needs some loving. The bodywork requires addressing as Graham has mentioned and there are abs and Tpms faults which seem to point to a wheel hub for the abs and either a sensor or the computer for the tyres pressure system. Otherwise it drives well, sounds great.
For little money, someone could get a decent car here. They are always a project at this age but it’s silly cheap to reflect that.
If i had the time, I’d probably buy it but i don’t !
I'm guessing it's going to need probably another £4k to sort the body, the hub and hand brake?

Only if you bare metal respray it, which I wouldn’t. I think you’re talking £600-800 for the body and a grand for hub, hand brake and bits n pieces. You can spend that on any Maserati, as we all know, so it’s not major. In the end, it’s a cheap and very useable car that could be made better with some loving. The fundamentals seem strong, drove very well.
Thanks. I'm surprised the paint would be that cheap, but sometimes it looks worse. Sounds like a major bargain. I guess the subframe is the critical piece
