LingLing Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 So glad you did, is it still driveble? what's missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogoose Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 thanks guys, It had a window smashed and the ignition barrell is completely broken and missing! but other then that it looks ok from a quick glance. i had half a tank of gas in it though and its down to 1/4 now so at a guess id say they traveled approx 100-150k's in it before they dumped it. the theives must live in the birkdale area to dump it so close to where it was stolen from! hopefully the police can get a good finger print off it cus i would LOOOVE to find out who stole it!! still looks drivable but the police towed it away so not 100% yet.

LingLing Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 , alarm and immobiliser + steering lock. if they don't seriously after you car, the chances are they won't bother. and get insurance mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogoose Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 cheers andyling, alarm was planned for after the conversion cus all the wiring loom was getting changed going from 4k to 4agze etc. it was parked in a carport not out on the street or anything, never thought anyone would steel a stock 1.3L auto lol. yup was fully insured i won't drive a car without insurance! it will have the mega security on this thing very soon now though!

dave123456789 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I might be being a bit paranoid but usually after I have finished working/driving a car which I actually care about I try make it really hard for them to steal. None of my vehicles lock so I take the king lead with me or leave a wheel off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
