When you set yourself a budget price.

you go completely past it

i've virtually blown my budget for my 3dr build and i've hardly bought anything.

But what i have bought is pretty damn special

Stavros

Youve bought a load of new floor mats, and a ribbon and a ball for your gymnastics havent you

Ryan

close mate

its gold in colour though

I bought a cheap saff to smoke about in and it had a leaking cam cover gasket so no big deal then i ended up buying an interior , oil breather, header tank, swirl pot, then sorting out a stage 3 etc etc etc i only wanted to spend £30 on a gasket

Martin

Jim Galbally

Tony Ryan

Well if it helps , ive still got a bunch of free bits for you mate ! Least i can do . Ive made a pile of bits that may be of use .
If you need any help at all let me know .
Regards
tony

Ryan

tony i've said it before and i will say it again!

your a true gent mate!

been meaning to speak to you actually

the width of the track on the car jig is 80cm any idea how far apart your tracks are

Tony Ryan

I guess that will depend on the offset of you wheels and that will depend on how you wish to set it up ! Is this a track car or a road car , same old question , but you can only build one of the above !
Regards
Tony

Ryan

yeah i know its defo going to a road car, but its going to be borderline.

any idea how far apart the tracks are on your flat bed trailor?

Tony Ryan

My bed width is 6' 1" , the car sits inside by an inch each edge so its a bugger to get on right .

RichardPON

Most accurate thing you've ever said mate

Stavros

Ryan

you cooooooooooooooooont



this ones a keeper it better do the price of the wheels i've jsut fookin bought

sureley your not building a car from scratch....if so.. why build a 3door? have you started witha bare shell?

sureley it would have been cheaper/less hassle just buying one complete?

Ryan

Kev, yes im starting from a shell.

The shell is not a new shell, its a stripped down 3dr shell ready for restoration.

Reason im doing it, is because im fussy and i like everything perfect

Reason im doing a 3dr is beacuse i've always wanted one since i was young

and it would be marginly cheaper to buy a car complete then i would spend several thousands on it to get it to a half decent spec and it would still be able to pick holes in it.

This way i can build by dream car, with everything jsut the way i want it

Answer your question Mr McSnapper?

ADUSR33

fookin ell uve going on about this 3 door long enuff ...just build it for fook sakes

Ryan

i am mate

i've only just brought one

its not very often a good 3dr shell comes up for sale, especially one as tidy as this.

I dont mind waiting for things.

I would rather wait and while and be happy in my decision. than rush into something and spend the next year regretting it and not enjoying driving it because of it

Eagle

iTrader: (2)

yeah dont we all bloody know it too
and its worth more in bits

but then i would take it apart to make it perfect ...get bored and sell all the bits AGAIN


so who is running the book on how long it lasts then ??? i give it 6 months once built ... if it ever gets that far and sees the road

Ryan

i'put £100 on the fact it wont get broke within a year of being finished

if at all

wheels are to good to not be on a car pete

B19-TRB

Your beyond fussy u noncy coooont!

Ryan

I cant afford a group A car aswell now lewis due to the 2 days of spending antics

So i guess your up the creek

B19-TRB

Ryan

Ryan

Bruce Read

That will be a lot of notes then

Ryan

yep

seriously though what do you want it in?

Bruce Read

big as possible, only going straight out the other hand

Ryan

well do you want some cash and the rest in a cheque ?

Would be easier that carry all that cash up there?

But if you want it all in cash

Bruce Read

cash, most of it is going to a man who likes cash

Ryan

oh yes

ok £50 notes it is.

Will have to go today
