It was a good debate of how troublesome eBay can be when buying a 22 year old car; and how different people set their own 'definition' of what's perfect, or not, for them.
I'd have to say that the chatty threads have caused a lot of hot air, but not much else.

I hink Buying a 22 year old car - is like making the same decision as dating a 22 year old gal/bloke!!!!! how reliable will they be - will they break down at the first hurdle (although most likely they won't need any body work doin!!!! unlike myslef :cry: ) - but I have plenty of expericence of body work so if anybody needs any -(car wise) give us a shout - my services will be free to those who live nearby!!!!!
I'd be interested to know about your bodywork experience. I've suggested a section on welding is added to the "knowledge base" area - but my welding skills are distinctly amateur and I've doubts I'm always doing it right!

Whitty, i also interseted in bodywork, yesterday i put my finger through the inside part of me sunroof, the other week i put my finder through the spare wheel well - but that is ok now, plus it looks like i need a new rear panel plus the odd bits of rust everywhere need to be zapped!
If you see a hole "DONT POKE IT" lol!!!
My friend did that to the chassis of his beetle and poked a 6" hole out 8O
I know its temping but try to avoid the temptations haha

You may as well poke it, because:
1. If you don't, the MoT tester will
2. If you're driving around in a structurally weak car, and are involved in a crash, its not going to protect you in the way designed.
3. If you're pulled over by the police for anything, they are free to look at the car and if they suspect its unsafe, can declare it unroadworthy there & then. This would lead to high costs to recover it back, or it being crushed if you don't pay up!
