I want to sell this to an enthusiast. It needs work: cills, outer arches, inner arches. Engine seals.
Other bits: Bonnet hinges. Bottom of drivers door, heater, spongy brakes.
Chassis is fine.
I live in Birmingham and the local mechanics are very competitive. I tried to get a quote from my mechanic but he said he couldn't give me an exact figure on doing the body repairs. He gave me a 'ball park' figure of 600 quid (just for the bodywork and that would get it through th e MoT).
I thought the quote for 600 quid was pretty good. Also the mechanic recommends pulling out the engine at the same time and doing the engine seals all in one go: I like that idea. and at the same time I would like to fit hardened valve seats so that I can run it with peace of mind on unleaded. I generally put in an unleaded additive.
No Tax no MoT
So that's basically it: Either someone makes an offer over £700 or else … I do the repairs. I might put it up for sale after doing the repairs!
