Another cheap car experiment. This one was again bought from eBay, advertised as having a noisy gearbox. In fact, the noise was coming from the speedo head - no massive issue - and a hole in the A-pillar, which I plugged with some fibreglass. Otherwise a good car, needing only a CV boot and a numberplate bulb to get another MOT. Sold to a friend who wanted a cheap runaround before he went travelling - I broke even on it.
