Title: Goodbye to another rangie!!
Post by: johnniep on January 09, 2006, 19:29:20

another of our beloved friends is off!! its only been here a short time, was first here as a engine donor for our shortened chassis bobtail, but it stood there for a few days and the grinder came out and another bobtail was created, and completed in a month, only being worked on on sundays and the odd evening, we used it for one fun trial over christmas, and a neighbour has shown intrest,
here comes the good bit!! bought for £50. sold for £800!!!!!
not a bad turn around in a month!!!
never mind!! now i need a new play thing!

i spose so, but this was another v8, but on a manual 4speed box, the old one wa son an auto, i think the auto is better, the clutch is another thing to think about, but after driveing an auto 4 a while you become lazy!!
was a tidy one, heres a pic of the bob'd  pickup we did back at the begining of last year, and sold after 6 months, its good fun preping them, and its all o na budget and keeps up with almost all the other mega-bucks trucks out there!!! :twisted:  :twisted:

cheers
