Looks like it drifted into a war zone.

It probably looks worst than it really is, difficult to fully judge from the photo's, but less than a grand would be ok.
You could break it for parts and get tat back (Not ideal)
I've got a glass hatch in stock, and various bottles of zip wash, window cleaner, upholstery wash and trimwax!
But it's the mechanicals and bodywork that could be a can of worms.....
MOT check says it's black! 93K and last MOT expired 8.5 years ago....(December 2008)

To further divide opinion and create bad feeling, why not link all that's for sale at that place that deals in classic cars that are modern, near Glasgow, and half can discuss how they think the sun shines out of their backside and the other half can discuss why they think they're permanent turd polishers.
Well everyones entitled to there opinion Craig,,,
thats for sure and i can only speak of my own personal dealings which for me was excellent as was Macnulters i believe,,,
Sun shining? not so sure about that,,i just fed back how my dealings onto the forum,,,,,,
With respect Craig i dont really understand what modern classics has got to do with this and Rogers link?,,,,
cheers,,jasonp

It's very simple (like all things should be in life, but they don;t often seem to be)
Traders, dealerships, specialists etc..are all a documented Business.
Some of them prepare cars to higher standard, and have better service than others but ultimately they are all
"in it" to make money and a living.
So some are very good at making any prospective buyer "Think" he or she is getting a cracking deal etc..but the higher
quality types normally make more money than the lower grades, because they have a bigger reputation to protect and sustain
and they usually spend more money on the car and subsequently ask more money for it to cover their overhead bills, the car bills and the profit they want....
For those that are in a car sales career, or have done some private sales will know you can buy any car and easily spend too much
on it getting it really good and end up making a very small amount on it if not a loss! the times I've spent heavily to get all the key areas done bodywork and belts etc..to of not really got any more money, as opposed to cheap bangers you an flip with a wash and wax and make an easy return
Some private individuals do not understand how large business overheads and running costs are, and think when a company is seemingly asking an arm and a leg for a car they are a rip off! this is not the case.
Some places also go a bit over the top on the sales pitch, "Lovely Runner" Immaculate Stunner, great history etc.and in reality
they are not often that good at all..Some also go overboard on a Buff and a valet..
Add on top of this the classic market increase in the last 4 years, and there are now "chancers" that will stick a high figure on something just in case somebody thinks Wow I'll have that, and then gets off on it up the pub with said mates and thinks 20K for a Fully Restored 205Gti is brilliant!
I've done this loads of times, I've done 2 Motorcycle restorations from ordinary looking things into Retro Cafe Racers....and made thousands on them..

There's a lot of work to do there.
It's been outside with the bonnet up for a while and with a plug sitting on the inner wing is not good. Assuming the sills are shot, wheels are only good bits.....
