thanks for all the help,
i'm going to give the guy another call today, we left it that i was going to price up all the work and parts and get back to him mid week.
all going well i should get the car for sensible money but if not ill keep looking and maybe come back at mot time to see if he's changed his mind. problem is if i pay what he wants then add the cost of sorting it i could buy an s13 with tax and mot... would much prefer an s12 though... lots on ebay this week too
cheers
