I bought it a while back and it had been modded a little with v6 brakes, alloys etc. I recently took all the modded parts off and have sold them so now she is standard. The previous owner had a new engine fitted and its only done 8k, BUT black smoke is coming from the exhaust, I beleive the engine has had running problems ever since the new one was put in as a new lambda, and a few other things were fitted also before i got the car.

Also some c*nt put a nice dent in whilst it was parked up in the rear qaurter and it needs some welding underneath. I am undecided what to do with the car as i spent quite a bit on it but now with a dent and an engine which smokes i will get sod all for it.

I want to sell it but i cant decide wether to spend more money on it or just bugger it and loose money on it and sell it for peanuts.

sound like it needs new seals and possibly new gaskets. the oil filter will also need replacing and if it has been burning oil, you will need a new CAT. you need to be willing to pay around £250 to sort the engine out mate.
