And then there were four..

The scorpio has finaly bitten the dust 19 months after laying her up she has finaly finished being broken up and the bare shell collected by the scrap man.

A fair amount has gone to new home so far and a few extra £££'s will be comming in. The garage is full of scorpio sh...t.

I am a bit sad as she was a nice car to drive and very comfy. As usual though the cost of repairing for the road would have been £400+ for a car worth a simialar amount with a valid mot and tax. I could not sell her for £300 but have already made more than that in parts. It won't be a huge financial loss if any.

The sapphire has seen a little bit of attention. fitting the electric sunroof and air box into place.

The golf seems to run very badly, I think another engine is called for and I am trying to source a 16V 1.4 Polo Unit.

The Mondeo failed it's MOT and cost £433 to get back on the road ( OUCH!! ) it was only a Cat and a handbrake fault due to a caliper.

The Galaxy's Cat also had to be replaced in January due to a blockage, I have now also fixed the parking sensors on it so it's a lot easier to park now. I am slowley getting to all the issues.. I am going to try the Granada Cosworht wheels on her as I think the will look quite nice.
