What do you know about this car?

I saw it just over a week ago at a panel beater near my work. They had the front stripped to quote. They do all the high end $300K plus cars

I have a spare $160K at the moment, stuff the house reno's. It goes to auction on the 24th. I think I might have a look. . .

hey Mate, if your keen i can ask my brother tomorrow whats up with it and get a very honest description and whats up with it from him

pm me your mobile and i can get him to call you if he will.....

I will check with the panel shop tomorrow and see what they say.

Looks like it could be a flood car

I buy new car parts and slip them under the magic bench in the workshop, but a whole car might be a bit hard to get past the wife.

She said no more cars. I have built 3 others since that comment. What is one more....

Yee sweet as, let me know if you need to talk to my brother, i will let him know your keen anyway and to expect a call.

not sure if its a flood job, i asked him if there was any good flood cars the other day and he said no..

ohh someone should tell him there are no R35 skylines. meant to say that.

of course he had friends bid on it. whats the bet one of them accidently won and its listed next week because of 'non payment' or something similar

The only people stupid enough to bid on it were his mates or himself as you can see all of them have history with him and do you think the bidders names look alike or is it just me...

The names mean nothing anymore, they are randomly assigned but consistent to the same person.

How did you get all that history?

Cheers

You just log in and the info is there, you can see the same people bid on items off each other and give them perfect feed back, it is a way to build up your ratings.

thanks, found it. I thought it was a summary screen on all bidders then I realized you had put that shot together.

I would agree that the 2 highest bidders look a bit sus. But that said, good luck to them as it is not my money spent on that car. :P

Seriously, it would probably be less head f**k for the current owner to sell it to an import wrecker. Surely they would pay $5k for an M35 that has a fair number of good panels and a reasonable interior. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that the drivetrain is ok too.

:P

What a waste of everyone's time...

(but hey it kept us amused for a bit.) :blink:

A CPV35 with interior fire sold for $6,000 the other day here and we estimated it to be worth $3,500 to $4,000 due to the punt you are taking not knowing what is salvageable... It was seriously burnt but I forgot to get a picture.

pickles?

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
