Hmmmm . . .
"i could be really proud of from an engineering point of view" - fairy nuff . . . .
"Airbags removed" - which would make it uninsurable
"has both sunroof AND climate control - one of the reasons i bought the car in the 1st place" - I used to have a 1999 Vauxhall Astra like that - may I could have sold him my old hack!
"the sills are a little crushed in the usual place from speedbumps and poor jacking" - that sounds something to be proud of . . .
"front splitter is in quite a few pieces and is
cable tied back together" - what engineering manual details that method?
"I have got an central locking problem" - surely one of the easiest things to fix!
"up and down the country racing literally anything i can goade into trying" - sounds like a mature, sensible driver - NOT.
Do you think if I offer him £25 in redundant Woolworths vouchers, he'll consider it?
