Yes John, but frying pan, fire?

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

Tigra Man, when asked recently, in a frankly embarrassing faux-Jamaican accent, wrote:But me ride as dope as the dopest ting, innit blood?
Rich, I changed my mind, look at that little beauty. Do the deal,
but stock up on welding wire before you do 'cos how they managed it when their own Corsa is really pretty resistant to serious corrosion I do not know, but the Tigra is a festering rot box.Get one, and people will laugh and point. Then their laughter will turn to savagery of the kind normally reserved for Gary Glitter's Twitter followers.

A Tigra is just a Corsa in drag. When Ford made the puma (a fiesta with a new suit), they got a fun little car. When Vauxhall did the same thing with the Corsa they rather missed the point. Personally I would give it a miss but each to their own.

Re: mr2 alternator removal
First job - visit a scrappy for some factory rear lights as the lexarse ones someone has fitted are horrid.
Given the type of mod that has been done I suspect it has been driven by a chav so I would have a good nose at the service history and make sure it has actually been serviced in their ownership. Too many chavs believe that oil and filters last forever. also worth checking the clutch and handbrake to ensure they haven't been car park fwd drifting at le mcdonalds.
