My Vento
Here's my Vento
It's been off the road for over 3 years, but just sold the Smart car that can be seen in the pics to fund the work needed on the Vento.
Went on holiday and left the car on a neighbours drive way whilst away, came home two weeks later to my car no longer being here! My neighbour had gone off the rails and told some guy to scrap it! The car was literally a shell with everything inside it, and all windows put through and scratches and small dents all over the body work! The Vento has come along way since then!
Needs a bit of work to get it through the MOT, needs tyres, but I hate the wheels that are currently on it, so I am picking up some steels off ebay with tyres for this matter. And the front pipe on the exhaust has split due to dead engine mounts. Have now replaced all 3 engine mounts and the exhaust is a stainless Powerflow system with lifetime guarantee, so this is to be sorted soon, will be changing the back box from a (not very euro) flame burnt tip jap box to a twin pipe at the same time.
Once the MOT has been I will put the car into a shop to have the body sorted.
And as you can see, the engine is in need of a good clean
Need to get rid of the rear lights in exchange for some smoked crystals

Thanks, it's getting there!
Yep it is, most people would have scrapped it but I didn't have the heart, so I've tried bringing it back to life and it's coming along now
