DodgyBastard Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 What a thoroughly decent chap you are. That's very kind of you to say, it makes a change to being called a cunt, that "Scottish Prick" or "A piece of work" like some other forum members have said...

mk2_craig Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Well done on the test result! You have performed a very selfless thing. Can't be many Visas in Scotland of any description other than a few surviving C15 vans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The original mot tester quoted them £2000 to repair it and told them they were better off just pushing it off of a cliff, clearly they just didn't want the work but it's still a bit of a shitty thing to tell them.Roughly, if you were paid to do this how much would it have cost?

spartacus Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Nice work FOAD, everybody's got something better to do, especially at this time of year, so full marks for giving your time up for something you may not see again.237/10 DodgyBastard, HillmanImp, Joey spud and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Roughly, if you were paid to do this how much would it have cost?I can't really answer that because I don't really work on anyone else's cars, when working on my own cars I never really factor in the time spent on them.I think a lot of places charge £30 per hour so in that respect it would be roughly £600.

DodgyBastard Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I think you've indirectly answered my question I was about to ask there. Approx 10 hours a side? Something like that, I think I spent about 10 hours in the first weekend then a couple of hours each weeknight to get it finished. Say I'd done this work with the aim of selling the car on for a profit, how much is a tatty Visa Cabriolet worth with a years ticket on it?

egg Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I expect Six-cyl will have an idea about prices here, but if it was in France about €1200-1500 I'd say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyBastard Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Could you be a bit more specific? It might have actually been Scottish cunt, it was said by a prolific shiter in the north east of England who has a habit of expressing interest in cars then falling off the face of the earth after agreeing to buy them.
