Mint.

If you condense it down to what it should have been though, using actual advisories I've seen used before...


Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
  • Nearside Front Anti-roll bar pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i))
  • Offside Front Anti-roll bar pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i))
  • General underbody corrosion
  • Nearside Front brake caliper binding but not excessively (1.2.7 (f))
  • Nearside Rear Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))

A few of my purchases haven't been great, but the only two really bad ones were the Celica and the black MX5. :p

... Oh dear, both the black ones... And this Primera is....... :eek: ;)

Needed a cheap, interesting, stopgap car.

Hold up. You have the E30 and the Volvo, no?

Also, you could have got pretty much anything else for sub £1k that would have been better. I guess that wouldn't be 'Acme' enough though, spending money 'for the lols on the internet'...such an odd thing to do.
 
OCUK version of Car Throttle cross with Might Car Mods where they buy the cheapest car for sale online sight unseen, except with more randomness.

Actually, you should start a YouTube Channel, at least then you might get some views and some money back.
 
Haha Acme cementing his status as a legend within OCUK motors. Love it man! You need to start a YouTube channel!
 
It will look a bit better once I'm done with the graffiti paint I just ordered... Although I must admit, it is growing on me.

I wonder if it will arrive before my £16 fake chinese cold air intake...
 
Acme man, I wish you’d take my advice seriously sometimes. I get the appeal to trigger people on these boards but financially speaking, man you’d have been so much better off if you didn’t make the purchases you did.

These are lost causes. F spending money on old tat.

Calm down! lol :p

I'm selling the V70R and I bought this as a cheap daily, once the Volvo sells I'll be able to afford to move out AND have the E30 sprayed, rather than either leaving it as it is or putting it in storage when I move out.

I've had half an eye on this Primera for months, exchanged a few messages with the seller, made a cheeky offer, and now its mine.

I like Primeras, I'd like a P10 eGT, but this one will do fine. I'd prefer it without the daft get-up but I found it funny. It has been worth it just for the reactions from everyone (people I know not just on here) and it will be satisfying 'normalising' it a bit.

Plus it has the benefit of being dirt cheap to insure.
