2000 Peugeot 206 2.0 hdi, £120, needs a new axle on the back and a bit of welding on the exhaust, but can be the new work horse

That's common as muck that those back axles go, I bet it's the offside too. The 2.0s are a nice engine too, whilst they keep going anyway

Got the axle done earlier today, and it's now mot'd picked my friend up to go to work tonight, he said it felt like it pulled quite well. Bargain car, owes me £250. Even got a towbar too.
Means i should now be able to get the chance to do some bits on the fiesta, I want to take all the suspension off it, clean and paint that up nicely, fit poly bushes where possible, and give it a good clean underneath and in the arches and paint it with some black stonechip stuff. Maybe drop the front subframe and clean and paint that too. Need to redo the roof decal, that's peeling off, currently considering taking the sticker off and painting the chequers on. Would also like to get the front bumper resprayed, due to a few stonechips and a small scuff, and give the wheels a quick refurb.

Lol, it's just been bugging me seeing it dirty underneath. And the roof stickers peeling off, started doing it on the motorway and making a horrendous whistling noise, it's currently held down with cello tape at the mo

Only just got back in from work manic night, was like working in a jungle, had a bit of paperwork to do after I found a few blokes doing drugs in the toilets, and there was a fight in the pub too.
