He put a link to the guys Facebook profile on not that long ago maybe in the other section.

Hopefully also drained everything bar a pint of petrol, kept the spare and stuck a less than good battery on....

Bub check the current cat prices especially the manicat ones as they are usually genuine, if I had space here it would have been worth my while buying cheapies and selling the cat.

Well this has gone to shit. Small bit of corrosion in the boot so at garage to address it. Small corrosion turned into a massive hole. While on the ramps the little bit of external bubbling on front sill has proven to be internal corrosion as the weight of the car on the 2 poster has concertined the sill and bowed the floor pan. The front wing as also bulged out so guess corrosion on the a pillar.

I really don't know why you bother with old shit Bub, you have a terrible track record with cars through mostly no fault of your own.
