FakeConcern Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Sorry this is a bike which came up on my ebay as "you may be interested in this", why would I be interested in buying a bike from Australia? Anyway the description says “Good condition for age, a few scuffs, had a hairline crack in the frame a couple of years ago. i fixed with expoxy resin and carbon fibre , looks a little shabby but had no issues since, no flex in frame. see photo” So a carbon fibre frame you've "fixed" with some Araldite is "good condition" https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303773079105?hash=item46ba495641:g:0xEAAOSwx~dfUHPT busmansholiday, outlaw118, Blake's Den and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Q Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Ebay's policies say no ringing kits but they absolutely do not give a shit.Used to report them but none ever got removed.They are getting their fees so they don't care.

Gratis, ideally. What did you have in mind? Several people came to strip out bits and paid good money so the assumption that the fanbase for R19s is tiny was wrong - just a RT auto which is not popular it would appear. A gent travelled from Berkshire to remove the gearbox for £200. Doubleyeller did then cut the roof off with an angle grinder and hacksaw! That sold for £100 to a guy who travelled from Hampshire...... And we weighed in the rest for £50 Total made was therefore approx £550 Verdict: breaking cars = well worth it! Doublyeller is rolling but still has lights, parcel shelf, tailgate, wiper motors + linkages, door cards...and handles + switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's a lovely car" Funny thing - people leave a car to rot - then get all misty-eyed when it comes time to sell. It's also being gently touted as a ringing kit at the same time, nudge nudge wink wink say no more...is your car a ringer...eh...does she go...eh Blake's Den and FakeConcern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Q Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I hate these wanky "pickup conversions" they all look shit and just guarantee that the current owner will be the last before the bridge. Pretty sure 1250 would get you a normal 407 coupe, never mind one with the boot replaced with plywood that doesn't even run ffs. Look how waterproof it isn't, just imagine how bad the interior smells with all the rainwater soaked into it.
