If the modded one was any good it would be a lot more than that to buy, it could be broken for 3x that easily. Plus an mot could cost anything, a bit of rot here and there mounts up cost wise. Go local and do it just how you want!

BAD POINTS

THERE IS A SMALL PATCH THAT HAS BEEN WELDED NEAR THE EXAUST, SOME RUST IN THE USUAL PLACES BUT NOTHING MAJOR,

THE CAR COULD DO WITH A BIT OF A TIDY UP, A VERY EASY FINISH PROJECT

PLEASE NOTE YOU ARE BIDDING TO BUY,

DELIVERY CAN BE ARRANGED WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE


what you lot think then?


lol, we all probably guessed it was fleabay when you typed this first time round....

If you want a flying start on your project go for the modded one. If non of it is what you want your finished mini to look like then its a waste and you need to go for the local one.

plus if bits have already been done then you wont notice everything that needs doing.
i'm starting from scratch and i keep finding extra little jobs to do.
i'd rather find all the problems now and fix them than be in a constant battle keeping my car running.

locals a lot less hassel too.

Havent seen the local one, but that one on ebay doesnt look particularly cared for, doesnt say when the mot ran out, or when it came of the road. I get the impression that its not all it makes out to be, that patch near the exhaust looks horrible - if thats the standard of the work been done then i would suggest there will be alot of work to be done ot get it looking good - that door shut looks extremley odd to?
I say go for the local one. Like has been said you can make it how you want, and also you know exactly what your getting yourself into!... thats just my 2pence worth :kiss:
