I needed another car to bounce around in while I start my 20 valve turbo conversion on my Marea saloon.
Saw a Brava on eBay that looked reasonable and for the money I offered for it I didn't think it was worth bothering to go see it first.
Did the deal and paid 150 quid for the little X reg fiat. It's a 1.2 with a few problems.
It has test till October so how bad could it be I thought.
Well ...
It stinks like an old dog, it used five litres of coolant on the 130 mile trip home, it's absolutely filthy inside.
I don't think it's ever been washed its got green stuff growing on it all over.
The injector light comes on
Wiper blades are no good
Suspect engine mount gone
Wishbone bushes knocking
It's a shed.
But hey. It's a project now.
