Project EP3 arrived last week, I bought an MV6 off Ebay sight unseen and was described as in good condition with a suspected head gasket failure but the good thing about the car was the full Irmscher Kit in the same colour as my car which is why I bought it and paid £700
The seller said he had a receipt for a recent cam belt change and the milage was only 110,000 but when the car arrived there is no paper work and the milage is 142,500 miles. I called him and asked him for the receipt for the cambelt change which he said he would post on Friday and guess what no receipt yet and he's now stopped answering his phone. Its a good job I didnt buy the car to repair and sell on to make a few quid.
Yesterday I removed the front bumper and fitted it to mine and im going swap all 4 door and tailgate as they are excellent with no rust and the alloys are in good condition with new tyres. So once the parts are swapped and a new oil cooler is fitted its back on ebay to see how much money I can recoup
Front bumpers swapped
Rear bumper and tailgate to go on
Pimped glass, I might put the clear glass in the front windows
I dont know if im going to keep the Irmscher rubbing strips or fit the facelift ones which have no chrome strip
And good wheels and tyres
