This car looks very familiar (except for the bonnet).

I was quite surprised myself when I came across this one. He seemed pretty enthusiastic about it.

[SKITTLES]

OOoooo I can afford that atm... soooo tempted.

That is bloody gorgeous!

Business isnt going the best I hear.

Hope he gets the price it deserves!

too cheap,,,,

Yeah, it's been a pretty brutal 12 monthes financially. Got sweet F.A. shifts as a teacher, and my weekend coffee van project cost a fortune to set up, and is paying itself off at a snails pace.

I'd like to tell you that I was funding another Datsun or something awesome, but I'll be throwing the money at debt. Yuck.

I'll keep lurking around the forum until I'm cashed up enough to buy another Skyline. Please try not to laugh and point if you see me cruising past in my other car... an '82 Sigma.

Also Skittles, if you get the chance I'll make some time for you to check out the car before the close of auction. Send me a PM, or email [email protected].

Sounds awful! Just wondering why it's not advertised on forums like ozdat or JNC (or SAU). Probably too late now, but you could consider selling parts separately. I've seen big lists of parts sell fairly quickly on ozdat.

Good luck with the sale.

In all honesty, it's a bit like ripping off a bandaid. It sucks, but at least it'll all be over quickly.

I'd probably make the most cash by sticking a stock L24 and 5 speed in it and painting it all white, (and sending it overseas,) while selling the LSD, box, L28 and carbies here, but I couldn't bring myself to pull it apart.

I'd be happy, well less sad anyway, to see it go as it is to an SAUer. Who knows, if it doesn't sell in the first go I'll probably leave it for the time being, and start playing with it again when I've got a stable income.

Is it possible to buy from you directly and not through ebay?

[coupe72001]

I'm going to let the auction run, but there is a special discount for members of this forum

There's been quite a bit of interest; so I'm starting to feel sick.

Hey Drew, i honestly think most of us guys here understand how hard and painful it is

to have made this type of decision.. and im sure we share your pain.. I guess the weight of debt is a ton on your back, and letting

go of your car...hey!!.. thats hurts, you need to rid that monkey on your back mate.. im sure another

210/211 will surface again..

Cheers,

Yeah it's tough! To add salt to the wound I've been offered some really interesting swaps: 240k coupe, Valiant VG coupe, R32, Yamaha cafe racer, etc... anyway, there'll always be interesting cars around, but I hopefully won't be broke forever!

[blk180]

That is a very nice car to bad im heading overseas soon so no spending money for me right now

Cant belive no bids yet!!

[Factory 5]

I just hope some fk doesnt chop it in half and send to sandpit land as a front cut.

Exactly what happened to the C211 I was going to buy, got sold off for $700 before I came up with the $1000.... stupid.

Appreciate it man, but I've had my eyes set on a R32 for a decade now. Driven a fair few, and I've just fallen in love ay.

Other than that, I don't deserve a car like that, I couldn't treat her the way it should. To me, that's a collectors car, not a drift pig, and I want the drift pig.

I hope the next owner can appreciate what that car is.

Hey Drew, whatever became of that C211 I never bought at Pickles auction here in WA. I'm assuming a friend of yours did. You were saying that it was going to be done up. So far I've not seen it on this site.

[Ghostrider]

Another non believer!

Best you buy your beloved R32, coz they never ever going to be one of these cars.

A drift pig, ummm I thought S13's would be the go for that?

[coupe72001]

Now considering offers.

Ricky, since my mate's scrap metal business folded, that C211 has been sitting in his garage pretty much as it left WA.

My car won't be going overseas; no-one is going to shell out $5,000 for a half cut, and it won't be going over complete without any LHD dashes left on the planet to convert it. $1,500 is about the absolute maximum offer for a car that's going to get the chop, and emailing the ebay seller early with an offer below the starting bid is standard practice, which is why your C211 disappeared before you got a chance to bid. Mags, I'd be bidding/calling the next seller early to express interest; too many cars vanish from ebay 12hrs into the auction.

[Ghostrider]

Drew, your timing is impeccable?

I have no space to keep anymore cars, otherwise I might have been very interested.

Cheers, D
