you might want to start writing the for sale advert now. By the time you've finished writing it, it will probably be up for sale. slightly cleaner, slightly lower, with fresh wheeltrims..... "making way for 172 project"... £1000 ovno.
call me Mystic Smeg.

I have seen a few... Was very tempted with an disability one...

The garage i brought it off annoyed me actually as i paid £100 deposit on thursday... They said they would remove all adverts & if i hadnt collected it with 14 days they would relist it.... & yet they relisted it within 24 hours... When i called them they said oh yeh dont worry about that... Its yours.... Bet if somebody offered tfhe full asking price they would have sold it to them :(

I like this one tho, the towbar will come in handy to...

Also collected some buckets seats on the way home from a member called trojan... Paid for them in october... Never got round to collecting them.

The van is already in use for storage... Have the rollcage, bucket seats & 3 sets of alloys in there... Still more room :)

Yer there very roomy in the back, my mate just bought gt turbo spares van yesterday and it goes very well. Had run in it last night and very stable round corners. Thought I'd by one and convert to turbo,, need to rid off some turbo parts into something usefull and sell on again. Found another for dale a little nearer so I'll give them a ring tomorrow.

Blimey Shoppers, I'm surprised it failed the MOT, what with that bunjee-cord fixation in situ...

If you lose heart in the project, stick a tea urn in the back & job's a good'un for ND weekend.

:agree: Yeh i knew it wouldnt pass the MOT.. But wanted to see what else needed doing for an MOT, no point in spending time or anymore money on it if there was an underlying serious problem.

Would this be odds on him selling it before completion... if so id go for 1/33.

If its for him spending lots of money on it and keeping it id punt at 16/1

Even money 1/1 says it sits for a long time.
