   been offerd a mk1 saxo westcoast for pretty much nothing mot jus ran out but taxed still...problem is the front wheels look close to the rear of the front arch is that normal ? if not what would cause the problem ? when the cars been parked up its bumped up the curb each time im guessing thast doesnt help ? would it be an easy and cheap repair...will need a few other bits for new mot like rear bushes but more concerned about the front....
   
   Thanks

   Find out what the wheelbase is of a saxo then measure the car you are looking at to be sure. Anything around +/- 3mm is acceptable really
