As I’m off to Saudi soon and dad wants his garage back to he can rebuild his car I’ve had to reassemble. nice and dry. hmmm shiny then back into its wheels and something like a car Next up is arches, I’ll strip them, seal them up and then decide what to do next.
Must be good to have it back on its wheels after all the work, well done mate. Is that a lightweight window?
Yep, ultra lightweight. I couldn’t fit the window on my own, I needed a pusher! Yeah does feel nice, with all need hardware too.
Noooo!!! You'll regret it I'm sure mate. Just have a break or a massive hit at it for more progression. Here's a picture of a sad soysage roll, which is how we will be if it goes.
It looks like a change in circumstances (not mine) mean it won’t happen sadly. And I will regret it, but I’d also like a car I can drive. And maybe not even a Golf. Something RWD maybe. I don’t know. I need to think about it some more. I don’t even know where to start pricing as it’s so bespoke it’s probably not even worth anything. Work looks like I won’t be able to even see it for the next 3 months at least.
Ah fc.ukkity fc.uk. I was looking forward to seeing this one built. Would you not put it on ice for a while? No one will give you what it's worth at the moment, you never get a good price for an unfinished project.
Nooooooooo ... I really wanted to see this finished As above really, its not gonna be worth trying to sell as is! Who cares how long it takes to finish, my dad has been building his mk2 escort for almost 20 years now and only recently its finally starting to come together, just have to keep chipping away at it whenever you can, always finish what you started
I’ve got enough parts to sell it and either make money or break even. I wanted too as well. We’ll see... I’m not hopeful tbh
The more I think about it, the more I don’t want to keep it. Maybe I need to see it, then it’ll change my mind
