Those shut lines are appalling and the doors aren't the same colour as the wing. Shed Level 100. Keep up the good work
Straight and central, is this OK jumper?
My steel wheels on my alto were black underneath the silver trims, but once the trims came off they were sprayed blaze orange.You probably had black wheels and now don't want to admit it
Even mine?Yes
1) all pictures must be taken straight with wheels straight
2) all black wheels mean car = scrap
Did I miss anything?
Looks like they've been curbed all the way round the edge as well

That's all the frame damage from being so stupidly low
It is no example of perfection that is for sure, but it was cheap, and so far has been faultless. Driven 1000 miles, not used or leaked a drop of anything, drives pulls and shifts smoothly.
Positives:
- New MOT
- 80K miles
- JDM Celsior w' JDM options (widescreen nav, air purifier, parking pole, etc)
- No rust/rot
- Mechanically sound
- Interior in very good condition, supremely comfy too!
- All electrics work bar a jammed CD changer cartridge
- Fuel eco surprisingly good, same as my Volvo was!
- Insurance is cheap, got a £300 re-fund even with mods all declared!
- The car itself was cheap, traded my Volvo + cash for it, worked out at about £2K or a bit over.
- New BC BR coilovers, new brakes, few other bits
- Stainless exhaust & Rays Forged 350Z alloys
Negatives:
- Some panels have clearly been replaced
- Has clearly had paint done here and there to varying standards
- Panel gaps haven't been done properly
- It has definitely been crashed into hence the above
- It has definitely been drifted and has done burnouts (I have videos
)- Some minor scrape damage underneath but nothing horriffic
Some love it, some hate it. Mostly people love it. I certainly do.
Even mine?
Just awful.

996 has aged very well.
Not the most exciting of motors, but it's first car I've had in 10 years! I've just moved back to the UK to a job out in the sticks that needs a car so I just had a few days to buy something, anything, that'll get me to and from the studio.
2007 318i M sport. 140k, manual, one owner, full service history. A little scruffy as you'd except but drives smooth and has obviously been looked after. Paid a little over 2 grand for it, which I think is pretty reasonable.
It just has to keep running until I get settled and buy something electric next year.
Anyone got any tips for de-shining a leather steering wheel?
@mid_gen - Nice Parking!
@Homer-Simpson - Awesome machine, but can't be OcUK approved due to wheels and grey paint.
@Maccy - Is that oil under the car next to the rear wheel?
Sorry, nice motors all. At least yours are out of the garage and being driven

Yup.

- Vehicle structure is deformed but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced underneath - been run too low
Hmmm
