£40 car

not an mg but im still impressed with it, its a hyundai accent 1.3 and was bought for the grand total of £40 with no tax or MOT, the head gasket was a bit gone but it was still usable, altenator was shot and it needed a new battery, well price list as below

car:£40
Altenator and battery tray: £10
battery: £20 new
Mot: £25, so road legal car £100 which was ideal for tanya passing her test



a few months later all going good did the headgasket at a cost of about £50 and a few hours of my own good labour, and put in a clutch too for £60






so a year later and it just flew through its MOT again, just deglazed all the brakes and gave it a polish, few dents but nothing serios, back arches are a bit rusty so going to respray all that come the summer and it'll be sorted!
