Don't you hate that! Everytime ya think the cars fixed something else brakes. Trust me, the Corolla wrecked the starter motor. While at the sparkies they inform me the alternator is also had it. Quoted $360 to fix it so I said forget it I will pick it up. Dad ended up getting someone to fix it for me WAAAYYY cheaper. The battery was also stuffed, the carby was so had it that it wouldn't idle (now it has fuel injection) and the brake lights occasionally get stuck on so you have to jump start it next time you drive it. Had a lot of fun with it in the 6 months I have owned it hay!

I have to pay it off or something first. Techinally I do own it (in my name) but Mum and Dad paid for it so to do the right thing, I have still got it, but they wonder why I wanna drive the VN more?:crazy: I am saving for a new R31 at this point though.

I am part time Niz, downfall, I earn part time wages.

I owe Mum like $2500 for my car and have paid of, ohh, let me see, about $60! I think I might save up instead of pay that off, once I have saved up enough then I will buy a new one and give them the Rolla back. More enthusiastic that way. I am thinking of buying a really neat un'licenced R31 (if I can find one) and do it up and licence it myself. Might work out cheaper that way.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
