Kaos, sure thing

James, don't worry, I haven't got much intelligence to insult ;-). Sometimes I do need bloody obvious things stated to me or I miss something stupid.

We finished it yesterday and it goes! There was a bit of a tense moment when it turned over and didn't start but that was because I hadn't plugged the ignition block thing in properly,

Now I have the daunting problem of the rust...
Yeh up the parks, up the road oposite the old post office. i was the one that lead Jeff to it :) as i drove past it constantly.

BTW Does your mate run a taxi firm?

Still give me a shout if you need a hand.

There was no note on it when we went to tow it. I dunno. The bloke I got it from whose drive it was was a bit weird, f***ed me around with the paperwork for months until I gave up and applied for a lost logbook, wouldn't be surprised if he took it and didn't tell me.
I got it for £100.

No, no taxi firm but he does drive me and my mates around a lot. Any particular reason?
I'm not sure what to do next. I suppose the biggest problem it would have getting through the MOT is the rust. Would you mind having a look and telling me how bad it is and how to deal with it? It's the first car I've owned and I haven't got a clue about what needs doing to it.
