Nah from what I can gather, he got an offer he couldn't refuse. Im not surprised, it was a 2-door and those seem to be in pretty high demand

Well um that escort was withdrawn by the seller before I could bid on it

@joKer: im definitely buying that mk-1, thanks for the heads up bro

@felixx: I mean anglias are brilliant ans all but its not going to be a stock standard mk-1, nowhere near it. In trying to turn it into a road legal rally car, that 1600 I have is gunna be worked to hell and back

Oh ok so ill start out with anything except cars. Engines,tires, wheels, carbs, u name it ill haul it

Oh that's vehicle recovery, which is not what ill be doing. I'll be doing courier runs, not recovery

Restricted. What's v endorsement?

Yea. I can do Christchurch to Christchurch/rangiora/kaiapoi during the week, and Christchurch/rangiora/kaiapoi to almost anywhere in Canterbury on Saturdays. I'll have to charge extra if it needs a trailer. If I get enough positive response then I'll sort prices and start up

ATTENTION ALL CHRISTCHURCH/CANTERBURY MEMBERS. Hi guys, im debating on starting up just a small local courier service just for cars and car parts. I have a station wagon, and access to trailers, just wanted to know what your opinions were on this. Worth it or not? Ill be starting out under the rader and if business picks up I'll probably register it. Thoughts guys? (Also if anyone has a ute/suv 4wd for sale under $2000 please contact me)

I have a 1994 Ford Laser GL Wagon, if anyone wants it in exchange for a mk-2...

might find a cheap mk-2 to run daily for a start and work on it from there

and again, in pictures:

It would certainly appear so, heres the progression so far:

mk-1 escort

mk-2 escort

Ford Anglia

Triumph Dolomite

Right, status update (*faint cheering*) decided to price everything up I need, so far only have a piston set priced. At $240 for a set of 4...

Just trying to price everything at the moment so I know where im aiming at. I want to try for between $500-$3000 for the shell. I also want the whole thing finished in about 2-3 years so I can have a mk-1 2-door wedding car

Its just I want to do everything so basically just a plain bare shell

Alright guys, I'm starting to plan out my 1600 Mk-1 rally car, and I'm looking for just a rough price estimate of a Mk-1 shell with no running gear, little to no rust, and with or without suspension? Any help appreciated thanks and if u have a Mk-1 shell lying around, I'll be happy if u decided to sell it in 6 months

yea so im not really sure what to do with it or even how to continue at the moment. any ideas?

Not exactly alot. I lost my student income, got engaged, then lost my job, then lost my license till march so yea, havent really had much time, energy or resources to keep working on it

Bigger problem now...
I have my Engagement party that weekend now too...

:D:D

Right, I'm back
So far, budget is looking at around 2-3 grand, and as for hours spent, so far about 7. Sorry, i haven't been able to do much lately on it guys, my daily threw its dif through the side of the gearbox so i Was dropping a new box into it (Dear lord, i thank you for creating Pick-A-Part, Amen   ), and my 'mate' decided to steal my dads chainsaw and sell it (so as you can see we have been pretty busy )
Anyway, back to it this week

And ill be in Okains Bay

Last pistons finally out, now to bore and hone any nicks etc...

as it is all the parts are needed. but i have motorcycle bits if you want them

i wouldn't sell, only swap as theres parts i need

It'll run... Eventualy...
