My new toy

[frog]

Ebay Item number: 270369802408
Just paid a deposit on the above car, paying the rest on ollection tomorrow.
Got it for £450 after viewing and making the owner an offer 
The bodywork scratches aren't really that bad, they wont polish out but they didn't bother me to much.
The interior is quite tidy, the engine sounded quiet with no leaks, a new clutch was fitted recently (receipts to prove) good service history not full but most MOTs to back up the mileage (123000 ish)
Drivers headlight cracked but will possibly look to change these back to standard.
16" wheels, not in great condition but straight, will need a rear tyre as its on the limit, the only real issue is it has a stupid cone air filter fitted so might look for a standard airbox to refit but overall i'm happy for the money i paid.

Looks ok for the money, just for info if those headlamps are hella then even if one is cracked they have a value of around £60 or more.

A few questions....
The stupid single wiper conversion parks in the middle of the screen is there any way to move the parked position? (if not then i'll look to convert back to twins as it driving me mad sat in the middle  )
Can you buy Hella quad lenses? The drivers side outer lense is cracked.
There is only 1 key, can i just get a standard key cut or are they coded?

keys cut at timpsons shoe shops cheap, light just rub some super glue into the crack that will stop it spreading and letting in water we use it in the army for field stitches and the wiper is always at the 12 oclock on single wipers
