decided

to repair my clio, new door, good as it was

Thought it was a write-off/cheaper to buy a new car?

it was a write off, i bought it back for 34 quid for spares... decided its worth repairing when i looked at it today and realised its actually a lush car lol ;( airbags, remote c locking, elec sunroof, elec windows, power steerin, decent 1.4 engine, too good to scrap for 70 quid

Good on you :)

Aye why not! Get some more miles out of it before it dies! How much for repair?

I can get hold of a door from scrap yard for about 20 quid and fit it myself ;P

result, with it being a write off though don't you need to get it VIC tested after repairing it?

no idea lol, getting a pre-mot before i buy another door though, unless thats the same thing

I wish I'd done that. Bit more of a risk but could have been worth it.

Sounds like you saved an awful lot of money there! Good thinking. =]
