TII - Comments please

[grinder]

i paid £400 for one with a blown engine - so at £500 it could be OK - worse case - break it for spares and get some £££ for a good one

with all the FC vultures around here its not a big problem

keep us all posted though .. would be nice to see another TII live to fight another day

TRex, I do agree! But unfortunately I must have it  :rollin   It\'s deffinately a risk but if it does all go pear shaped then it\'s an expearience.  I can, as Stu says, still break it for parts and recoup SOME of the cost but im not kidding myself that this would make much back.

That probably sounds a bit negative! I can still go there ready to pick her up but if im not happy then I can still leave it.

Just dying to get my teeth into a project!  :evillaugh

i paid 700 for mine and had to do 300 quid worth of welding so thats a grand already... i got all the parts i needed for roughly a 100 pounds and now i just need to get it sprayed up. im doing the body work myself and its a long and hard work but should not cost too much as im planning on stripping it and fully preparing it,

if you buy it mate you will qualify / be able to join in the 100 mph terminal comp?

i reckon we made about 1000 - 1400 when we broke the TII - so you SHOULD break even no probs - thats not the point - you have to get it running again

Deffinately!  She needs to live

I did start to read the 100mph terminal speed thread when it first got posted - ill have to have another look and see how it has all progressed.

I usually just click on new posts and read whatever looks interesting or a laugh (havn\'t had a chance to check out todays Hoff Friday yet! :p )  But lately I have been spending a lot of time in the 2nd gen section for some reason

FC\'s rule :god

My 2 cents..

 There is a lot of sh1t out there and most not worth the gamble!

 Goodluck

there not all like your one. there are still some good ones about and whats £500. pocket money :cool

[TRex]

Oh it\'s not your car that your selling to Ricco then...
 I was under the impression that it was yours selling as he did mention the car was barely a runner and near scrap!

Getting a bit bitchy on here this morning boys  :rollin

Anyway back to ripping my old exhaust off the car ready to "build " my new one

[Ricco_04]

Seems ages ago now but if everything goes well then she should be sat in the garage on Sunday!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[tr1cky]

Well as soon as it\'s at the garage then I will get some photo\'s and put them here :cool   I am using my sisters garage now - god its a right mess!  I have got to refelt the roof as its leeking and clear out the inside - it\'s horrible!!!  There\'s all kinds of mold, insects, bad smells - and a double matress!!!!  :eek

Got about 8-9 hours driving!  Not a problem - I have managed to borrow a Diesel Discovery from work (very nice of them) so only need the fuel bill for that & the trailer!  :cool

Im pretty much going from Worcester to Brands Hatch and back again and I shall be waving at all RX\'s I see  :cool

[Ricco_04]

All set to leave first thing tomorrow - about 400 miles in total!  



On closer inspection I shall make the journey pretty quick - looks like it has Nitrous!  :rollin

[Ricco_04]

Woo Hoo! I got it  

Pictures soon as it would be rude not to!
