----------------------------------------
Right, my CRX. I bought this car in from a friend in 2004. He looked after it well and paid in excess of £1,500 for a complete strip down and respray. When the company took the door panels apart there was lots of rust and tiny dents all over the car, this was completely redone to an excellent quality, the car looked brand new after! Only thing he done wrong in my opinion was spraying the car some dodgy mouve colour, so when I got my hands on it, I got it resprayed in Subaru WR Blue.
I also added some more touches whilst I was at it such as meshing over the foglight holes, smoothing over the indicators (they're now in the front corner lights) and removing the rear wiper and jet hole.
There are loads of other little touches but you can ask me about them if you want...
I eventually stopped using the car as I got a great deal on a 206 GTi. Since then, the car has basically been stored in the garage forever since... I've had a lot of interest in the past but unfortunately most people have been time wasters!
Now the car has no TAX or MOT. Regarding the MOT, some guy was coming to look at the car, so I got it taken to the garage, MOT put on and then he never turned up! It failed the MOT first time, due to the rear brakes seizing up (because it was standing still for so long). As it hasn't moved since I would presume this would be the only thing it would probably fail on next time.
OTHER BAD POINTS
Electric sunroof is a bit of a b**ch to shut!
Some rust bubbles can be seen, but no bare rust
The car has been garaged for quite some time now! and last time I took it out the garage, the steering sounded rather squeaky, I'm thinking it might need some new fluids!
Needs a new battery...
PRICE
I bought the car originally for £2.5k, have spent about £1.5k on it since...
But I need rid so looking for just £925ono!
