Angrydicky Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Obviously not a concours job, but it would get it all one colour at least. There's plenty of scabby areas on the rest of the body anyway, so it's not like you're painting a single replacement panel to be fitted on a minter.
HillmanImp Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 This is a bit of a bargain. I am almost hoping that I can't get the Audi running (its still not starting even with its new ECU according to Volksworks) as I will then be able to break it and buy something new. Not that I can afford anything new but I will have an excuse to get into a bit more debt as will need* another car. Obvioulsy there will be nothing I want for sale by then though. *don't really need *EDIT* and how much would it be to spray that bonnet? Can't be more that £150 tops that can it? Its not metallic or owt is it? Thats just a few nights down the pub in a month that.

Guest Breadvan72 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 It's not a mega project, I agree, but I already have one car that needs significant cosmetic work, and another that needs minor cosmetic work, so while the SD1 is bargalicious I can't take on even a mini projectette just now. Alas, because an early one in that colour with those wheels is right up my alley. Maybe I will get my chance with this one next time around.
Negative Creep Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Have to say I'm very tempted at the MOT price. Would only be a short term thing if anyone would still be interested in a few months?
Guest Breadvan72 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 That would be me. Even if it is still in need of paint etc then, I will have more physical space, more head space, extra funds etc. I may even have a garage by then.
Bren Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Surprised it's not gone to be honest. A V8 with manual box for less than a grand. This would compliment my VDP EFi nicely, however my other half would see her arse if I tipped up in this.

I presume it's not a good thing and nothing like I'm thinking. mat_the_cat 1
atlantean Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 That shade of blue, with a yellow front... am I the only person who wants to stick double arrows and a TOPS number on it (think British Rail in the 70s) ? catsinthewelder, oman5 and rml2345 3

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Forumite or not, someone's picked up a bargain IMO.
TRW Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Sweet Jesus, I must resist. That's enough internet for today. Bye all.
Negative Creep Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Well that saved me from spending a load of money I don't have and destroying my finances. So, what else is for sale CortinaDave 1
Guest Breadvan72 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Temptation removed. Thank you.Did a shiter buy it?I might have to arm wrestle BV for this when it next comes up. I can't do arm wrestling because, quite apart from being Mac the skinny dude from the Charles Atlas ads in old comics I don't want people to see my embarrassing tats. We need to devise some suitably shite way of resolving such disputes. Maybe a grudge match on an Atari version of Pac Man or some other shite 80s video game. drum 1

EssDeeWon Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I noticed someone on the SD1 forum mentioned doing a deal for a 1978 V8 Manual on Monday so Im guessing its this car, or possibly a pure coincidence either way lets hope he lives in Aberdeen and does a live collection fred!
