i\'d say it looks slightly expensive for the buy it now price

apart from that it it looks like more of a project in terms of the engine, i guess thats what your after?

I\'d search here for similar "should I buy this car" threads guv, youll find all your questions have been answered :)

In a nutshell if it doesnt have a warrenty from a specialist saying the engine has been re-built, then you\'d better budget for one.  You would be looking at between £2500 - 3500 for a specialsit or if youre handy up to around £1500 uin parts to do it yourself.

If it was me id be buying a car (with a rebuild) from this forum :)

It seems to have a lot of body work needing doing. I\'d worry a bit about the dents in the roof, but maybe they can be pulled out easily.
As has already been said, unless you have proof that a rebuild has been done you always have to take what is sad with a pinch of salt or keep your fingers crossed. You could be lucky after all :)
