cheap 4th gen 2.3l 4ws for spares/repairs

This car was my daily for a year, but it just costs too much on fuel and insurance for me...

I was sideswiped by a van, hence the crumpled wing.

I simply stopped using it - everything still works, except the LH door doesn't open (need dent pulling out).

Good:
  • cheap
    4WS and ABS works
    engine runs fine
    everything is basically operational
Bad
  • Bodywork is terrible
    Seriously, bodywork is in an awful state
    No MOT - ran out in January
    Bodywork not great.
£300 - come and collect from Darwen, Lancashire.

Car will be scrapped within a fortnight. If someone is interested, I could move it to a temporary storage point (mum's drive) for a limited time.

okay, so apparently I don't know how to do images - go here:

Only the most recent 7 photos are real - there are older photos pre-damage.

Pics posted for you - you need to copy the "BB Code" into the thread :D

Ooft yep, that bodywork has definitely seen better days...

What is the bonnet like? Is it straight and not rusty (including on the underneath?) Can you post a couple more pics of that for me please?

Yeah, I'll get some more detailed photos of the bonnet tomorrow. To the best of my recollection, there is only the odd tiny dimple . I will capture the truth as best I can.

Flikr seems to be having problems atm...
Will check back later.
Danny, also messaged you.

EDIT: flikr working now.
Thanks, good range of pics. So one dent in the top and the front around the catch is rusty but otherwise looks straight and good.
I'll wait for Danny to come back to me and see if he and I can work something out. Hopefully be in touch soon :D

Quick update,

The car has got to go. It will be scrapped this weekend unless I hear from any interested parties before then.

Kind regards
