Hmmm.

Holiday or another BMW.

That's some holiday.

If I had the facility, I would keep it, simple as. But I'm on a one-in, one out policy and the ability to transport half a ton of baby gear comes first.

To be clear - the holiday would just mean that i couldn't afford the car. Not that the holiday would consume all my available £££

3 hours wait for the truck. Going to be a loooong night.

@Dammit I have one at home, plus was going to do power steering pump anyway, which needs to come out, plus Tim wouldn't answer his phone anyways.

tr3 rather than an A-H, but yeah. it will come down to a racer v ds argument.

but that b is quite collectible and is one of the few bs that will increase in value.

so it could be worth renovating

The race car? You'd have to sink the DS fund into it?

Realistically, you can do everything but the shell yourself right? I'd be more than happy to continue helping you put the car back together.

that's what I am thinking. the money from the slae of the green car to sort the body, then I put the car back together myself. I have most of the bits (minus engine) ready...

Aye, I had it inspected and is sound. No untoward clunks or clicks when driving either. It'll need periodically checking and at some point could need reinforcement. It's about £1k to get it done proper.

Let's fuckin' do it. I've recently become friends with a veritable army of people who I reckon would help out too.

If I got the body sorted, we could hav it on all four wheels in a weekend.

I am excited for you, but also me now.

This is incredibly slow and boring, and I can't quite get the thought that all of a sudden some sort of grotty sec act is going to start taking place at one of the many stops we ate scheduled to take.

At least you'll have plenty of lube handy

I'm slightly worried that the money that I will give you for the Brockley Express will disappear into rust with nothing to show for it.

But, having said that, and having outed myself as the soon to be new owner of the B, I would fancy helping out with some racer work too. As a novice pair of hands, obviously.

Finish the race car, just make sure the money is spent in 3 weeks, otherwise you might find it gets re-allocated anyways.

And you'll be a dab hand at welding and fabbing by the time you finish.

Jesus wept that is hawt.

It is a worry. If I get a good, solid shel out of it, the rest shouldn't be too difficult.

There is a shitload to do. I would probably get someone to do it.

We haven't had an A2 mentioned for a week or two. This is shamelessly stolen from the A2 OC site.
