Well its the new year and we normally experience breakdowns before christmas. The last two years have been slipped cam belts on two seperate Vauxhall 1.8 units and weather was not too disimilar to what it is now. Rain Rain and more bloody Rain!
We realised it is also a time when we tend to purchase our cars too. The Astra Gte was a December 21st purchase 5yrs ago. The Astra 1.7 Diesel Estate was this time last year and the wrx Scooby this time two years ago. Unfortunately the latter still remains in bits after two garage let downs so guess what?
Yep! Bought another one yesterday and picking her up tomorrow. W reg uk spec turbo which is totally unmolested and comes with just 83k on the clock. She is a beaut tbh.
Mot for 10 months new belts a while ago was dry stored for 6yrs of its life and covered around 11k by current keeper. Recent new clutch too and all work carried out by garage where I did my time.
All for £1,700. Another joint enterprise between the lad and I.
will post up some pics later.
Anyone want to buy a 1994 wrx with stripped engine plus loads of new parts?
