New gen 4 green lude

[c_doughty1]

Ok over the weekend I bought the following car, which some of you have spoke to me about ref: dodgy lude seller...but I have it a green 2.2 N Reg which I paid 400 pounds for which after driving from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire to Devon to collect it then down to Cornwall for our holiday and back home it's quite a trip.

However I'm happy, it's got fsh some from honda and it's only done 63500 miles, it's got a hideously rusted sunroof which I expected and a damaged wing which I knew about and it's quite possibly the most dirty car I've ever seen....but i'm chuffed. I've rescued it from a life of sitting under a tree gathering bird poo.





















What do you think....worth a punt at 400 quid.

The main thing...

All the sawblades are spinning in the right direction

Only joking, I'm chuffed you followed your heart and came out trumps Nothing that isn't easily treatable, so great gamble

Thing is mechanically it feels better than my lude I'm taking to japfest, it's just so unloved I feel sorry for it.
If it were a dog the rspca would be taking the owners to court.

[NafemanNathan]

Sounds like it deserves some love then

[c_doughty1]

Well I'm thinking about a colour change though, I don't like the green to be honest.

[NafemanNathan]

Would you do the engine bay as well? Nothing worse than a different coloured engine bay (Unless it's a neutral colour).

[c_doughty1]

Yes I suppose I would a different colour engine bay would send me insane.

[NafemanNathan]

Good!

Lot of work colour changing a car properly...

I know....I'm not sure what to do. Swap engines might be easier including the gearbox and dash.
