i went to the scrapyard today with my brother for some bits and asked if they had any cars for sale and the owner told me about an M plate 106 ski he had, so i went and had a look at it and started it up and it ran fine so i agreed £275 for it delivered
havent got any pictures of it as i didnt bring my phone but it basically looks like this



it hasnt been deliverd yet and ive already bought somthing for it
alm:
its a blue carpet out of the kid version only cost £5 and it looks brand new


well happy with it but it did need a clean due to being sat out in all weathers for at least 4 years as it was there when my brother had his 106 back in 2006
the car has 130,000 miles on it but it runs sweet as a nut with no overheating or hunting and no smoke out the back and it drives nice and straight not sure it would need much for the mot but if it does its bound to be cheap on one of these
the owner of the scrappy said he was going to put it on the pile tommorow as he had had no interest in it and i just couldent see it get put to waste like that
i will upload pictures of it tommorow when it gets deliverd :thumbs_up:
[BREAK=Its home

right finally some pictures of the ski
fresh from the scrapyard :shocked:



and after a good wash:thumbs_up:






plans are to fix the dent on the side and detail the car and put it through an mot, then sell it on for a profit
[BREAK=Rust!]

the good news is i got some 6x9s off my brother for £3 just to fill in the holes in the parcel shelf:thumbs_up:

the bad news is i had a poke at the rust

hi all
got the painting finnished today
after sanding the filler primer down i cleaned it up and put on a little coat

and finnished with 2-3 coats of lacker



well happy with it, it appears to be slightly darker but the car is a bit dirty and sanding dust all over it so when clean should all match
havent got any pictures of it as i didnt bring my phone but it basically looks like this



it hasnt been deliverd yet and ive already bought somthing for it
