I do all of the work on my cars so what they are worth to me is the time I have put into the cars, working on restoring every panel or the body itself etc. It means more to me to spend a lot of time doing the work myself than pay for someone else to do it. If I were to add up the number of hours spent and multiply that by the salary I used to get in my last job, I'm sure it would run into many thousands!

well most people look at my car and laugh! ( including my mum) but i dont ever want to sell it its only cos me around 600 in total still it will get some looks with a straight through pipe and rat paint! [frame][/frame]

At the moment I look at it as the bank, cause of all the money that's been spent on it

What exactly is a cherry bomb exhaust? Weren't you parked next to us in the Young Owners section at the rally?

Very noisy and loud, Google it and you will find loads of information.

Patrick why do you want Rat look paint you seem to have an even more original paint job and I hate to say it but it looks different enough to be quite interesting

I'm often asked if my trav is for sale. It would be, at the right price.
If someone offered me 25,000€ I'd sell it
20,000€ probably well, OK, yes
15,000€ and we're getting iffy, what with the hassle & cost of finding a replacement, and for that you don't get the Newton Commercial seats, you can have the originals which are still in good nick
10,000€ no way

Hi Mary I would love to barter prices with you.
Within one sentence you came down £10,000 so another paragraph and it might be for free
