Could this be the best car for £200?

Another car that owes me £120-ish
Bit of an adventure but...
I won a £150 Fiat Punto on eBay that needed a bit of welding front tyres for M.O.T, £36 and a few hours work later £39 for a clean sheet. My mate needed "something smaller" and offered the Scenic and £100 for the Punto.
I won a pair of colour coded bumpers for £10 and sold the grey plastic ones for £10 each. The towbar is for sale as well so it could cost me even less.

Oh dear, when I saw this car a week ago it had a bent exhaust valve. I was thinking of replacing the head and living happily ever after but since then it's been thrashed to the point it only has compression on two cylinders and the gudgeon pins are rattling in three of the four pots. The front suspension is completely knackered, the car tramps from side to side under braking because the passenger side front wheel is buckled, the exhaust looks like it used to be the Titanic and the only redeeming feature the leathers seats stink of smoke.
I could break for a profit but that would be a faff.
Oh well, seats for my Morris Minor hotrod project nearly new battery and £35 a Ton.

£330 with a knackered clutch but £60 on the clutch and a bit of tidying up one of the six manual FTO's in the UK with 100,000 miles on the clock should be worth a fair bit more.
It works out -£10 as I've sold my 190E for £400
