Description
I bought this as a project to teach my eldest the basics of car maintenance. We've had it for 7 months and done the following to the vehicle:
Prepared and put it through MOT (Nov 2024) - 3 x advisories, nothing horrible.
Replaced Oil (full synthetic) + filter (June 2025)
Replaced Timing Belt with Bosch belt(June2025)
Replace Air Filter (June 2025)
Replace Drivers Window Regulator (June 2025)
Paint and replace N/S wing - the original was rusted and beyond saving. (June 2025). The paint job is not fantastic (it was his first), but it is solid with reasonable colour-match and clearcoat.
Original parts that we replaced are in a box in the car and I have receipts from Autodoc to prove purchase of the replacements.
Bad points:
It is a Cat N/C vehicle: we can only find evidence of both front wings having been painted and probably both bumpers, as they're starting to peel on the clear-coat.
It's a great little runaround that now has to go as we're looking for the next small project.
