I think something similar to this has been done but i couldnt find it so thought i would start a new one,
post pics up of all the cars you have owned with some info about them, for example pic of when you bought it and how you sold it/ crashed it/ scrapped it lol, how much you bought and sold it for, miles on the clock before and after and what happened to it etc
should be quite interesting ( can imagin dangsi will have a few pages lol)
so here goes
My first corsa an M reg 1.2 8v merit with 65k on the clock, bought for £500 completely standard (no pics)
then put some 14's on and a 4" rage backbox
9 months with 80k on the clock, later it was mot time, needed shit loads of welding and break pipes so off to the scrappies it went ( think some1 was ment to be fixin it up tho)
as the money was in short supply and i needed a car i had to sink to the dreaded fiat punto bought for £200 with 111k on the clock
this car was a disaster sender unit burst on the way home, so patched that, about a month later the backbox fell off so put a new one on, the a few days later the manifold blew off lol fixed that but the garage fucked the lambda sensor in the process so it had fueling issues and a few days later woudnt start, so it sat in a garage for a week and dried out and started and then sold it to some1 i know for £300 and the car ran fine for a good few months until mot time think its scrapped now
so then i went back to vauxhall, bought a T reg corsa 1.2 16v sxi with 38000 on the clock £1600 result
UNFORTUNATLY i had a wee mishap with some sneaky ice on my way up to a roundabout and the passenger side quarter panel met a silly wee pole,
insurance paid out £1945 so i was happy but gutted about ma car , with 42000 on the clock off to auckinleck scrappies it went as a cat c and one of the guys who worked there bought it and fixed it a bit and sold it on, unsure about whats happening now as i think im still the owner even tho its been spotted on the road.
pics of the damage will be up soon
Now on to what im driving atm, 1999 T reg honda civic 1.4 i with 68k on the clock for £1650 completely standard so i salvaged 3 of my alloys from the corsa (other has a big chunk out of it still in my hut tho) and bought a new one from halfrauds and put them on the civic along with a custom backbox from rms,
got some coil springs to be put on it, CURRENTLY FOR SALE
thinking about buyin this of my gf tho - A 1.0L 12v which was completely standard when she bought it with 45k on the clock the pictures are just after it was crashed into by a drunk driver in a clio, new bumper, boot and boot floor, including a full respray
only problem is the engine or lack of engine as its a 1.0 12v gls
plans would be a gsi kit and the cavy sri fan blades i got off jamie
and eventually a bigger engine
now sold with 75k on the clock or something
thanks for reading and feel free to do as ive done.
adam.
