Should have put a skim of filler to level up the pitted area! Nice little bargain though, cheap as chips to run and great fun to drive.

Yeah I intend to do that when I do a prettier job of it when the weather/temperature improves, this was purely to halt the rust progress and make it look half presentable for now.

£80, could presumably multiply earnings by quite a bit on that, and to be fair, as a Ka driver, they're not great, but will do for a first car...

Will your son thank you, or hate you though?
Well I didn't bring him up to be an ungrateful little ****, so he's very happy to just have the use of a car, especially considering he was worried he wouldn't have anything to drive after he passed his test.
So yes, very thankful, plus he'll enjoy working on it with me

Bargain.
How much have you spent fixing it up since the initial £80?

Including the paint and Kurust, about a fifteen quid
The P/S pump was £25 but looks like I won't be needing it now. A pair of lower wishbones are £40, that'll be next weekends job. Other than that, just cleaning products, most of which I have lying about in the garage
Oh, forgot about the boot solenoid, won one on eBay last night for a tenner

Anyway, between coats I had another look at the PAS fluid, turns out it was lower than I initially thought, so I topped it up and..........the noise has completely gone
AND I CLAIM MY FIVE POUNDS!!!!!!!!
Yep, I discounted it because there was some fluid in there and it was REALLY noisy, but topping it up did the trick
