Runtman Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Alright guys, I generally have no idea about cars but sent out one day to find a motor when I passed my test. I managed to get this car for £400. Tell me what you guys think. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/Picture001Medium.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/Picture002Medium.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/Picture003Medium.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/Picture004Medium.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/Picture005Medium.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/Picture006Medium.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/Picture007Medium.jpg The sub and speakers were replaced by me, as I couldn't handle the standard stuff that was in here. Apart from that I really want to modify this car and have no Idea where to start, I definately need two new bumpers the state of these are killing me. The engine is in good nick a mechanic said, it's got 99.000 miles to the clock which can be quite off putting, but this car has done my no wrong so far. Apart from when I drove through a hedge and lost a wing mirror (that's why they are those black ones). Worth £400? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danposs86 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Looks alright for £400, especially with mot till December. Whats the mileage? Hows the chassis under the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchkev Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 will look a thousand times better after a wash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevmo3691 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 my opinion, obv. bumpers, respray mirrors, colour code bump strips or remove them (depend where you park), new grill, pair of new plates (always think new plates make a car look nicer), GTI interior, cat back exhaust, or at least a back box (have one if your interested), induction kit or panel filter, diff alloys and a thorough polish should see you right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtman Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 When I find new bumpers, I will pay for a full vallet. Hard to find bumpers, the colour is a bluey purple.. No luck finding any. What's so different about the GTI interior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's so different about the GTI interior? The GTi is half leather, half fabric and quite supportive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtman Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I tried googling pictures but got brought to loads of different results, is the gear stick etc different too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_Scorted Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yeah gear knob is a silver square rather than a black oval http://www.escortevolution.co.uk/forums/in...howtopic=132309 there are some pics of interior on this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runtman Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hmm, I'm pretty sure there is a leak somewhere, behind the drivers seat on the carpet it's always really wet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
