decisions

Post by rsi-dan »

I have just bough a ford Ka of a mate for £150 non runner no tax or test

1. do I get it back up and running get it M.O.T'd and flog it and put the money into my paint job / new interior
2. keep it and have it as a daily so I only use my corsa for shows

I'd test it and sell on, the ka is a horrible Car to drive imo

If your getting a daily I'd suggest getting something else
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Then if you crash its void, 6 points, lose your licence! Going around with mods is bad enough but even still a 1.6 for a first years driver will probably either get you caught speeding or crash, talking from experiencw

Tbh dom engine swaps without declaring it has been goin on since i can remember. If u don't declare then its a risk ya take. Most do this cus it wud be two expensive to insure so it wud be easier on there side just risk it
If it ain't green and black send it back :D
