Thanks again Bob, spoke to chris, am gonna get some tips and have a look at his current for sale car.

Am at the point where I think the high miler isn\'t so bad (with the engine rebuild), cheap buying price is somewhat offset by
a)resale possibilities after i put another 20000miles on it (anyone bought one with that many miles?)
b)replacement of bits other than engine

Anyone had rear/front bushes done recently, presume you wouldn\'t see change of 1000?

[ro284]

Mines only done 50000, i wanted a lowish miler one as hopefully all the suspension/steering etc, would have a lot more life/use left in it. and it is nice to drive, but recent m.o.t. showed up worn rear top suspension bushes, but on a 93 car it can always be worse.i just wanted to get the best i could at the time, if it needs a lot of work it\'s false economy in the long run, not so bad if you can save on labour of course.
