£450 quid for it? they having a giggle or what...

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered

)

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Been to pick up my Astra today.The frontera looks ok and has a mint 2.8 engine in it.Looks like it has had a winch on it at some point.Dont think its expensive at all.Considering the money they fetch with mot and stuff

Yea just a bonnet and headlight.Its a mk4 Astra on a x plate 89k.I always buy motors off there had a 1 litre 3 cylinder corsa the over month aswell with very light front end damage.Worth keeping an eye out as they do have some really good cars with very light damage.
