i'll get picks tomorrow when i go back up there,some ones coming for a second look at my busa so hopefully that will be gone soon and then the peug can come in from the rain

pictures of the peug are in my photo archive,,forgot to reduce the size so i'll just leave them in there for you to look at .

had a better look around it today and made a list of what i think it needs so far.
front discs
battery
engine bay fuel lines
hand brake cable
front and rear brakes will need looking at
rear wiper
new door.
trim for door is in the car

still worth £200 ?

its a track day car ....

it needs battery .....

start it, test it on your drive then see what it needs.

How do you know it needs front disks? They'll clean up rust in one press of the pedal unless they're warped.

Why does it need new fuel lines?

hand brake may be siezed, doubt it will be the cable.

rear wiper .... on track?

Do you want this for track or driving around town?? Seems you want to be in town the way your suggesting stuff.

Does it run well?

It looks pretty solid and rust free, I'm with MikeR, throw a battery in it, pull off the rear calipers to free off the handbrake and have at it. Maybe pick up a door at the scrappy.

Looks like it could stand some soap and water and a heat gun to peel off the stickers but it's hard to go wrong for £200.

track day car is out of the window now that my girlfriend has seen it,she thinks it might be a nice little upgrade from her KA.

fuel lines have been bodged and as much as my gf can be a pain at times i dont really want to set her on fire lol

ok.... its now a different story.

I'd ignore the body work for now as despite what she says she can still drive the car with a big dent in the door.

new battery, replace fuel lines. Then (if its got MOT) drive around the block slowly to clean up the brakes. If no MOT give it a once over to check everything works then drive to an MOT to get a complete fail list (pressing the brake lots on the way). It may just surprise you.
