Hey up all,
So - you may have seen me mentioning that I was buying another Multijet.
It just so happened that a few days after I bought my metallic blue one, i spotted another one in black about 5mins from my house along my slightly changed commute to work.
To be honest, i would probably have never saw it if it wasnt for a diversion (closed road) one morning on my way to work.
I asked the guy what he was doing with it, he was holding onto it incase he found another mint working example but he had been looking for the past 9 months and not found anything, he did however come across the car i bought but it was too far away for to him go and pick it up so gave it a miss, since September last year - its been sat outside is house, on a private road gathering up crap from the elements outside.
At the moment - i've not done anything with it other than get it home on the back of my cousin's trailer, the brakes where not seized either so it was a nice easy job getting it on and off the trailer and into my drive.
Tomorrow - i will be hooking up another battery and will see if it fires up with easy start spray, if it does - the engine could be a winner.
It has done around 104k - so i was told and the guy i took it from had it since 2010.
So far I can see that the exhaust is excellent condition - im keeping the backbox, it has all its skins - mine doesnt.
It has yellow springs on the suspension all round, it looks lower than my car, the drivers side spring does look like its on a funny angle so will know tomorrow when the wheels are off.
It has 3 blades and one other OEM 17" fiat rim...
Anyhow - enough badgering on for tonight - i leave work in 2mins so better get these pics up.
Also - the whole thing cost me £100 and im set to make back that £100 at scrap time, if i had my own trailer i would be making much more as im giving the CATs to my cousin for his work (lifting and shifting the thing) so he's also set to make about £300
Happy days.
Now to find another blade rim.
And swap over the wheels onto my blue multijet
