Make sure it isn't faded as yellow leons fade badly and the problem is the base coat under the lacquer fades so it can't be polished up respraying is the only cure.

Hello Guys,

Can you have a look at this as this is the one I am going to see today I got it down to £2100 but is this to cheap do you guys think. Would be nice to hear what you guys think as I don't want to buy a pup.

The car does require require a cv joint as that is what the knocking is and a service. The mot is next month but that is another thing I am worried about but I have a friend that can do the joint.

There is some fade but I am not to worried due to the price of the car as I can get it done as my dad has a friend that does spraying so not to worried.

It's not the CV on the left front is it?

 

[Nicholai]

hello Mate,

Yeah it is he says when you are on full lock the is a loud knocking noise coming from the front. He thought it would be the ball joint but they don't make that noise has to be the CV joint on the left side.

 

[Mikey_Bling]

I only guessed left front because in the photos in the listing the rim looks really buckled like it's had a big impact. Could just be light or camera angle mind you, and you've seen it in the flesh but it looks off to me.

 

[Nicholai]

I haven't seen it yet so I don't know going to see it today.

 

[Nicholai]

I just spoke to him and he said he court a kerb and had a word with the tyre guys and they said it is still fine no problem to drive it. Will check to see if it is ok

sorry it is the right hand side that the cv joint needs doing
