Hi Mitchy

It's so sad to see - that was one awesome ride man.

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, but it's painful to see something like that happen to someones pride and joy. I'm glad you're okay though and I hope your neck heals up fine.

Cheers mate

Iain

f*k!

these sorta things alway happen to good blokes, like everyone else im sorry to hear about it.

all you parts vaulchers lay off! show the bloke some respect and wait till things are advertised (if they ever will be) before you start calling for parts.

how would you feel if your wheels were written off and you got bulk people asking for your ash tray for eg..

oh fug..... it's a sad day for arrh 33.... it feels no love from the insurance company. I wonder .... could you get the pay out, buy ur car back, and work on it to repair or change the shell or something. and still be leftover with $$? maybe you'd lose money that way... hrmmm...

  • 2 weeks later...

well..insurance has given me payout figure, and i have the option to keep the car + lower payout, or just take the money and run.

reallllllly... i dont want to keep the wreck, unless i can be sure im going to get my money back on it, but then im also willing to keep the wreck, if someone wants to buy the whole thing off me (saves you going to auction, and is probably cheaper too)

so if anyone is willing to buy a substantial amount of it off me, or the whole thing, send me a pm, or sms on 0405 908 860.

i'd like to get 6k for the wreck, which i consider to be a bargain considering its got a brand new, freshly rebuilt RB25 in it, plus other suspension goodies, good condition interior, nardi torino steering wheel, etc etc...

i also have my rims, which werent on the car, and a few other bits and pieces i was about to put on the car (new untuned PFC, new p/s pump and bracket, new a/c comp, hoses and bracket, new turbo, cusco front strut brace, plenum, semi slicks.. lots of crap!)

oh yeah.. ive got some plates for sale too. :blink:

how much would you sell the rims for?

and what turbo is it?

actually just get a item and price list up

heres a list of some parts and prices here

dam if i only knew 2 weeks ago i would of bought your car off you :(

damn.. oh well, id like to see someone make use of the brand new RB25 in it.. not go to auction!

Decided to hop back on the forums today after my long absence......... I didn't not expect to read about the 'Mitchy Mobeel's' premature ending...........

Really unfortunate dude....... Only way to look at this is to keep your head up and just start imagining the next beast that you are going to build up!!!!!!!!!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
