From what you say, it sounds like a year 200 car and not 2003.

I hate to say this, but you best option is to sell the new cooling fan and serpents on their own. Then the car with the old fan and wheels as a spares & repair.

Following that, have the satisfaction of knowing that you contributed towards a) keeping other cars going and b) reducing the number of these cars on the road by one thus making the ones in really desirable condition that much more desirable in the long term as a result of the reducing numbers.

I’m the first one to defend the value of our cars but with no MOT, needling new tyres and a dented rear door it’s worth scrap value

Play in the drop links has always been a fail
