Bit expensive considering you can buy a complete MOT failure for half the price

Title: Re: talk to myself
Post by: Guardian. on March 06, 2008, 22:49:14: to be honest this is a real nightmare, i had far to much work on to do one off work , its megga time consuming, so unless business goes <naughty> up, i will not be doing any others im afraid.
only did this as i promised i would do it ages ago, and dont like to go back on what i say.
its a shame as its a bit more fun doing different stuff, but have to concentrate on what we do really!
looking for another engineer at the moment, if that works out and i can free up some time myself, then i will go back into one offs again, but at the moment struggling to find someone who can weld.

loads of time to sort that out, just bought myself a new toy of ebay!
Previous owner drowned it and ended up putting a con rod through the sump!

Just looking for a replacement engine and then taking my LWB off the road for a while for a bit of TLC (mainly replacing a front axle and loads of panels)

My new toy................................................

Title: Re: talk to myself
Post by: fatbaz on February 21, 2009, 12:14:33: Hi Ste

Still got the beast, though I've re advertised it at a reduced asking price commensurate with the current economic climate. In English thats dropped the price to £4500. I know it's a giveaway price but I want the cash to pay back the money barrowed to buy the Fronty and to fund the planed enhancements (lifts, tyres, wheels, bumpers, winch, rack, lights etc)

Regards

Stuart :D
