Details! How much did you buy it for and how much did you put into it for repairs? how long did the process take?
i got the car for about 9k with say 98% of the parts, chassis leg, bonnet, wing, airbag, seatbelts, rads, ie all the major components. i then had the car and all parts couriered about 100 miles north to a mate of mine who repaired it in about 2 months.
the engine came out, and then the car had to jigged (straighted out), and then painted.
there were some parts that we had to buy, as it is difficult to tell what is required until the car is fully stripped down. all in all the car has cost me abot 12k on the road.
not bad when you think that the car should be worth at least 19k if it was straight and about 15k if i bought it repaired.
what do you guys think?
