Been to fetch this today

Had a call recently from a Mate saying he desperately needed to move this car from the car park outside his house and did I want it ??  Did a deal for 275 quid for it without even seeing a picture (you have to trust a Mate). No tax or mot but in average condition he said. Also said it's a good runner and responsive. Went to fetch it today and it drives quite nice actually and is totally standard apart from a k & n air filter and the back box. He also gave me a de cat pipe with it. It has 4 electric windows which all work, mirrors and sunroof work, air con and is nice and clean inside. Not sure whether to mot it and keep it or break it yet so comments would be welcome. Not sure I would use it much as I already have a Mark 3 8v and a Mark 4 8v. Anyway here are some pics of the new car and by the way the Hyundai is not mine it's the father in law who is using my Mark 4 at the mo

Am actually going out now to give it a damn good clean actually Mate and do a fault code scan to check it over. Trouble is when I MOT it they don't seem to be selling lately and I will end up keeping it and don't really need 3 cars. I'm a sucker for keeping them in the end Mate

Id deffo break it mate, they aint selling at all. Once youve made paid to mot it then there wont be alot of profit left to make. Plus, I need the exhaust!

Why not put it in for a mot and go from there.

Well I have cleaned it up today (with the help of my 7 year old) and it came up nice and clean with minimal bodywork required. I have decided to stick it in for an MOT test as it drives too well and is too clean to break. It drives better than my other 8v to be honest and sounds better. Shame I have done some work to the other one and this is a 5 door. But after the MOT I can decide whether to break or just put it back on the road. Will update this thread next weekend when it has been tested.  Here's a pic now though....just needs another coat on the bumper plastics to get it fully Black but I think it looks better already.
