I've done quite a bit on this in the time of me owning it and there are still a few bits that ideally need doing in order to make it REALLY tidy such as the fitting of the new passenger wing and the passenger side is still in white primer albeit looks pretty tidy still. The Sills are in very good condition with no signs of previous repairs. The Drivers door needs finishing where i've started to treat the rust but haven't finished up, it's still solid though so is good to have a go at :)

When I first got the car it was pretty unreliable with cutting out etc. over time i've slowly got this sorted out though and now runs very well giving good economy, it needs very little choke to get it started and the engine pulls well for the mighty little 1.4 :) I've been doing 30+ miles in it daily since owning it commuting to and from work doing loads of miles on the M6 on and off traffic etc. and it does it's job well :) Engine warms up nice and quickly and has never overheated on me, fan kicks in as needed and does the job of cooling effortlessly :)

By no means is it a perfect looking car but tbh wouldn't take much to get it there but it is however (Now anyway after lots of time and effort lol) a good runner for daily use etc :)

Dunno what else to put about it really but if anybody wants to ask questions then fire away :) I'm after £400 I'm based in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. If you want anymore pics etc aswell just let me know and I can email them.

I'm on the lookout for a cheap, EG Civic hatchback, either LSi or ESi or similar with T+T so try me :)

Thanks guys!

Have you got any better pictures of the rust on the door?

Also, would you be interested in delivering to Milton Keynes?

Hey there bud here's a picture of the door before I treated it

This was it aftervtreating with red oxide

It's still completely solid and fine to give a quick skim of filler and paint over. I could deliver to MK but I would charge for that

Ta dude :)
