You’ve done a really good job there and can see was very hard work so hats off to you sir, all the very best and take care, I’ve purchased a couple of cat n vehicles from copart and have been very happy, and have only gone for them as they have the X after the lot number which I believe is direct from the insurance company, regards Mark from Billericay 👍😃
@@marcusmaximus451 Hi, this was a Q number, which apparently is something Copart have bought with the intention to sell through auction. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Still none the wiser about its previous history but it still shows as not being a write off or a stolen recovered on a history check. It's my daily driver now and has just done a 600 mile round trip at 65mpg so can't complain.
@@alistairmscott excellent glad all going well and very economical, you did an excellent job fixing it, just a little tip as I’m a fussy old tart 🤣 , renew the gearbox oil for piece of mind kind regards 👍👍
@@marcusmaximus451 yeah it's on my list. Currently restoring an eBay leather interior for it. Eventually there will be an engine rebuild, hopefully top end only depending on how the leak down test goes...
Could be worse, could have turned out to be a right off or a stolen recovered. I've just rechecked its history and it still comes back clear six months later, which is something!
