You can't help but collect shit can you?

For a £100 though if you get 12months motoring and weigh in it's an absolute bargain!

I'm like a magnet for shite cars.

Its a tidy little motor, I got it off a mate and I've worked on the car so I knew its a good one.
Just a few corsa niggles need sorting that he wasnt fussed by or noticed.

Its main one is water leaks on the scuttle panel.
Very common problem. And a warmish heater.
I'd already flushed the matrix months ago but I think the stats stuck open as the temp reads lower than normal for one of these.

Ohh and if you use the blower on full pelt it creates a vacuum in the car! Open a window and the fan motor speeds up as its not struggling. I'm assuming the pollen filter is clogged or something's blocked up.

It'll get sold on for what it owes me when the Dyane and disco and MOTd in a month or so.

Its already been claimed for when its avalible.

Corsa sold to other half mum. Bad idea is all I can say.

Little update on the disco. The rust was certainly in deep. But I've gone to far to give up. One more inner wing to do and the rear crewmember wants doing.

New metal going in. I'd packed a job in so made some panels rather than buy them. This took way longer than it should. And would have been cheaper to buy them if I put a value on time. Headlight back panel and post were made. Front headlight mound was salvaged from a td5 that was ment to be rust free but wasnt. So I repaired it in the end.

Used some britpart range rover inner wings and battery trays. Not the same so require a bit of modding. But I got them uber cheap.

As everything's a bit quiet round here I figured I'd better start posting again. And hope others will too.

Not much has happend Suzuki wise, antons is the same as it was shortly after it arrived.

Another Suzuki will be arriving soon that I don't have any space for but it was something I could pass on

And my currently daily is this
