Dont worry, run it into the ground and offer it up for sale to him. He'll offer you twice as much as you paid for it.

No guns sadly, and no knives like the 12" serrated edge blade I found under the seat of a Scorpio I got hold of once
Engine is sound (so far) but there is a humming from the rear bearings...

Aye, so far the damage is...
Burst radiator hose from main rear feed from block
Buggered pressure release cap on coolant bottle
Blown union joint on SAI due to blocked cat(s)
Blocked cat(s)
Wasted passenger side rear disk (gouged)
So far I've done...
New hoses have been fitted (coolant and union)
Had a coolant bottle cap in the garage
New plugs
Oil change
Coolant change (had to given the hose was replaced)
Breathers all cleaned out & de-gunked
ICV stripped & cleaned
EGR blanked off
Need to do...
Cats - I'm picking up in a day or 2, aswell as the center box at £0 cost
Rear disc & pads - I'm just grabbing one of an Omega in the scrappers
Total cost to fix so far... £3
Total money made so far... £50 (what I've been offered from a metal merchant bloke for the old cats due to the 'Precious Metal' content )
Car is gona make me back atleast half what I paid for it before long, and I'll then be driving it about, and as for bits like sparkplugs & other oil, etc, I'm a TC Member with VX, so get all the stuff on the cheap anyways (and always make sure I have plenty of oil/plugs/filters/bulbs) so its not like I'm spending any extra
