Well here it is better Late than never

My first thread of my progress with my vtr, you'll have to bear with me as it could get messed up but hopefully not

anyways starting from May Last year, After owning a Mint 106 quicksilver decided a wanted another Saxo vtr after previously having one of those too L! so got about looking and advertising my car for cash or swap for a saxo Vtr. Not long into my search i got offered a Icelandic grey Saxo for swap ( the one i have) he said not long Mot quite long tax needs abit of Tlc ( He wasent joking!!) Anyways looking back now a was quite silly just jumping for the first Car a got offered but i thought it was mint almost to good to be true.

So my mate and i got to the "swapping location" My mate being okay with cars i kind of put my faith in him abit. Got there The saxo was very low at the back immediatley thought axle so took my mate took a look seemed to fine, cut along story short it was fucked everything but the axle that is, and i dident know it ( Slaggings welcome but its true we learn from are mistakes!) done the deal he flew off with my car i thought awell lets get back down the road and give this a good clean! but soon smell'd fuel?? Turns out looked under car fuel filter pissing fuel it was all taped up so it wasent leaking beforhand

the boy and his mates all took off knowing fine well they'd done me a was gutted but here ar a few pics so far

- First pic is the breakdown guy fitting a new fuel filter

- Second is one of the pics i saw of the car when it was advertised!

Fuel filter replaced, breakdown guy had a good look over the car to make sure everything was okay yet again it seemed to be but my luck just wasent in this night because we got held up we were very late getting home well almost home!

driving very cautious and nearly home when i heard a horrible crunching and noises under the bonnet and comming from the wheels straight away slowed right down pulled in and.....

- First image is my freind fitting a new driveshaft as the other one was mangled to bits all along the road

- Second one being a part of the driveshaft correct me if am wrong though.
