cheers mikey, ive just had a look on there but aint seen anything

[eqraz]

bump
money aint really a problem, just it has to be immaculate with low miles

[MikeyXR2i]

HI Eqraz, keep looking there a bit hard to find, but you will get one, if you find one, check it out, condition of valances behind bumpers, definetaly check the sill seams, cos rust can start here, and spread to the floor pan, look up, on the inner side of the fuel cap for rust, check along under the door rubbers. If you want to know more give me a shout, Good luck m8!

cheers mikey, how would i do some of this without putting the car on a ramp?
or is it impossible?

[MikeyXR2i]

i know its a bit awkward, but if you can, take a trolley jack with you, and ask the owner would he mind if you jacked it up, to check the sill seams, and take the back left rear wheel off, to look back on the metal surrounding the fuel cap, very cheeky i know, but if don't want to buy a Dinger, this is whats needed! I done it when i bought mine, he was watching every move i made, but he was okay.

hi eqraz, top man can't fault it, low millage which is good. mine had 60k on it when i bought it, you will laugh at this, i don't use it in wet weather, its garaged through the winter not used, they are a lovely little car when mint, my advice to you, plenty of WAXOYL everywhere. Nice one mate.

[eqraz]

hi mikey sounds a pure minter and it also sounds like you keep good care of it
but what is waxoyl?

cheers

[MikeyXR2i]

yeah, im gonna borrow the camera from work soon and get some pictures up, Waxoyl is a liquid that people spray into box sections, doors, sills, inner wings, tailgate, bonnet, to stop seems rusting from the inside out, a lot of places on the mark 3 fiesta, if not looked after, rust from the inside outwards, when you park the car in the sun, and you've been waxoyling, the waxoyl runs with the heat into places you can't get to. Another good thing to keep your car mint underneath is Hammerrite metal paint, again stops rust starting.

cheers mate, ill look into buying some next time im at halfords

[MikeyXR2i]

nice sigi, from that little pic, car looks good and genuine. nice one, keep it mint.
