Newbie from Essex/Suffolk by walshythechef on Mon Nov 19, 2012 5:05 pm
Hi after spending last week looking for a cheap 4x4 for winter i found a nice clean '92 2.0i sport in red for £100 with no tax or mot..
It has been standing since march after mot ran out..
I pumped up the flat tyre and drove straight to mot station where it failed on a corroded brake pipe and a tyre on its limit!
I was really chuffed with this!
Anyway i left it at garage so they could do the brake pipe and i sourced a matching tyre from ebay..
Thanks to Gregster on here for sorting me out with the tyre and a few other bits :)

Now i am looking forward to getting it muddy!!

here she is....

I will take some better pics soon

Hi Walshy, that is one cheap motor and looks in good shape. Those wheels look fine and after a 2" lift will look even better.You're not far from me so will keep a look out for you. :wave:
