B19LRW

lol cheers peeps! shame we gotta get rid. i much prefer a FRS to new worktops and cupboards!

ollie_247

Will be interesting to see how much this would fetch once its all sorted? How much did you get it for if you don't mind me asking.

Cheers

B19LRW

it will owe me 11.5 k done. Bits are hard to come by second hand! Was lucky to get a complet front. But that was dear too. Hey ho . Reckon i will put it up for 12.5 k, and take a bid. This aint a for sale post by the way, and it won't be for sale on here either! Lol.

Good to see it being repaired, but its a lot of money if it owes you 11.5k finished, a quick look and you could have bought this 12k, it wouldnt be on the list and would have saved yourself a lot of hassle

Seen them cheaper than that too

i sold a mint 24k rs for 12750 mate. u've no chance in getting near that for a listed car . i wouldnt pay over 8-9k for one listed imo.

but gud luck with it all gud to see a car back on the road.

Crowds.

B19LRW

o well, like i say i wont sell on here! i wont lose on it! i guarntee it!

mk2rstaff

good luck mate, good to see them being repaired and not broken, and b4 it goes on i know some need to be broken to save others but i still think its a shame, long live the rs

coco16i

Got to agree mate and reckon about 9k would be the value of this one seeing as its on the register, prices seem to be dropping a bit on these now and seen quite a few around the 10k mark recently, good luck all the same with the sale though and keep the pics and updates coming.

B19LRW

cheers peeps, if i cant get 10.5 for it i will break it! lolol

B19LRW

right, its back from Jigging.... and started to get it assembled, and then take it all to bits again!!








should have engine in tonight! all going well!

COCHYN

Turned out well, although your best off track prepping it now, will never get what their worth for it if you sell up

B19LRW

fuck that. I would rather burn it. Lol keeping for a bit., and looking in to having removed from the list!

markc

thats come on well lennie

Jamz

You can't unless you give it a false ID.

I'm surprised it's a cat D if it needed jigging, I thought D was reserved for light damage.

cozzymatt

I think you can have it removed from the list as long as the previous owner got paid out and you also take it for a SVA test and some other kind of test.. A lad in our village got a car taken off a Q plate this way..

Good work by the way...

An easy way to get a cheap, expensive car if you are going to keep it for a while!!

mark s

Wrong it's impossible to have a vehicle removed from the list that
is a Cat A,B,C,D or X

However Q plates are different as they may not be a total loss
just a car with no ID

Good luck with the rebuild if its ok and drives good ur happy keep it if it drives bent sell it to some nigeria who offers you 20 k lol.

can get it off alert with a repair inspection, it'll be down as a 'damaged and approved repair' rather than a 'cat d damaged'

every little helps tho huh

Its not possible to have a car taken of a Q ,, so your mate must have just ringed it

As for the focus ,, I bet you wont get anywhere near 10k for it

and if you have it removed from the list it will still say condition inspected , so still on the list realy

As for breaking it

B19LRW

ok paul. we will see.

B19LRW

Can't believe I still have this! So I never got my 10k! And it only done 33k now. But it is looking tired now so I will be updating this thread very soon.

I might be interested in the new year in this if it's cheap enough,not bothered if it needs tidying.

B19LRW

Vaughan, its not for sale mate.

Funny thing is as you've kept it so long the mileage is now ridiculously low so I suppose you won't get another like that now.
Keep it another 10 years it's gonna be worth loads!!!

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

To be fair , you have had it a long time now and its value now will probs still make it a cheap car to still own

They sell now for 5k on the list so i bet you have done ok realy

Matt FRS

I have a cat d on 47k, I'd love 6500 for it! 10k is crazy money
