Well its looking like 2k in body shop costs, then 3k in parts (found some engine niggles since last time) added to the 3k to buy...... tis adding up and my 7k budget is in a rather a poor state. And im expecting another 500 quid in bits and bobs that ive forgotten.

Other than if you need to machine the engine cut the middle man out, do the work yourself.

Vinay-RS. No. It was an accident damaged one when I was looking for a project. Took some major dimensions and realised that despite the look of it the shell was quite badly twisted so walked away. Shame as there was actually next to no rust.

Peugeot 106 1.1 is the cheapest car to insure for me. :/ I could do with a cheap banger, which is easy,and cheap, to fix. :) I'm not getting one of those silly little insurance boxes in my car. no, no,no,no.

My 1.5 diesel 106 was cheaper to insure than the 1.1, they wanted 2100 to begin with as they wouldn't take my classic no claims, eventually found somewhere to insure me for 1300

I did look into the Fiat Seicento, but like the 106 a lot more.

I don't think there's enough oil based hazardous liquids in human existence to remove the amount of underseal on the metro!!
Ben it's about 5mm think aftermarket stuff that's been put on over the top of the factory yellow cork underbody protection.

Yeah I know, at least so far it doesn't seem to have been hiding too many nasty's.
There's underseal stuck in my hair now, tried washing and scrubbing it but it's stuck to me!! Hahaha
