"shockingly bad" , and probably the thing that needs the most immediate attention, aside from the brakes and the cv joints. I'm gonna have to have a long think about what to do. Coz in all honestly I can see me getting all this fixed up..and then something else will bugger up..lol! And all I really wanted to do was spend a few hundred quid or so getting the interior right. Ho hum...we'll see...need to seriously sleep on it. Thing is, realistically, If I do put the car back up for sale, with all the faults as it stands...I'm not gonna get anywhere near the 3k I spent just 2 weeks ago...and that is what is knarling me the most. What sorta price can I optimistically hope for? Anyone have an inkling? Thanks again you guys, for all the input so far...its nice to have a little supportive group...its much appreciated.
