As you can see in the pictures, it needs a LOT of welding.
I have no idea what else it will fail a MOT test on.

Should i take it for a fail, then decide?
or get straight on with breaking it?

Compared to the red one i have, it runs like a bag of shyte. No power steering, electric Nowt (except mirors) electrical faults a plenty.

I have almost decided already, but want you to confirm my decission.

Its a shame as its got some nice bits, interior looks nice, and the leathers look lush! It even has a full tool kit by the looks!! I was going to say of course fix it until i scrolled down to the pic of the boot rust, that is major whole! as bas as my 1602 was and that had mud in the boot which had come off the back wheels and through the non existant floor! you shoudl make some nice cash from the parts thought mate, so look on the bright side, make a tody bit of cash on her and spend it on your other 3's. :D

Break it mate. It will cost way too much.

I have seen better ones in the breakers :lol:

Get some cash for it and put the money into modding the red one further.
