Lots of repairs but now ok

I think you could say I bought a nail.
In gleaming black with only 75k miles it seemed a bargain.
Within 2 weeks the front ns strut collapsed.
The cambelt hadn't been changed.
The handbrake was dodgy, and both rear calipers needed replacing and new handbrake cables fitted.
One drive shaft was leaking and needed changing.
The headlight aim was all over the place.
The tyres needed replacing as did the front and rear tie bars which were badly corroded and wheel alignment was way out.
Good points, engine is good not a Smoker.
Can get nearly 40mpg since brakes were sorted.
It now seems to be a good car looking good with bronze alloys.
