Be it discs, pads and fluid for about £200 and new tie rods, bushes, bearings, shocks with the rest if required.
I know what you're saying mate!
I'd like to do it on my own really but my mate wants to do it with a couple of others involved as well but I can see what's going to happen! We'll get a car and get it all ready and then everyone who wanted to be involved, when it comes to the crunch won't want to do or spend anything for it, they'll just want to use it and it'll cause grief! And like you say about if someone writes it off!
I don't mind if it's just me and my mate doing it as the car isn't going to be an expensive one so if it all goes tits up and gets blown up or crashed, it's no big deal.
If however there was 4 or 5 like my mate wants and we shell out £5-6K on a tatty Focus RS - whole different ball game!
