marc_p Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 WTF you are joking !!!!!!!! Taking the original shell that was crashed into consideration, it's actually a fair amount more than that. I think the total amount is circa £150K. Although if he likes it, that's all that matters, but I bet he got some hot flushes when he totalled that amount up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I wonder who's spent the most in fuel.. I've had my car just over a month and I've spent about £250 on fuel so far, going to fill her up tonight so will be about £320 spent so far. Worth every penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Mine, PW's and Lee P's are awkward to work out as we have put the hours in ourselves and prob blagged loads of favours along the way. Go eights is prob over £200K by now and its not finished. I'm with John on this one. Last time I spoke to David the big was in excess of 240k. This has to be by far the most expensive car on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 WTF you are joking !!!!!!!! Quite a lot of it went down the drain. For example, AFR had a nice ~£2k out of me for repairing my gearbox that I had to pay out again for Michel to repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Quite a lot of it went down the drain. For example, AFR had a nice ~£2k out of me for repairing my gearbox that I had to pay out again for Michel to repair. Did that 2K not include a set of Tein shocks supplied and fitted and wheel alignment????? And as far as I know that was only diagnosing the gearbox fault and refilling with oil as you had driven it empty AND you were advised not to use it till it was repaired, Before my time. AFR DO NOT and never have repaired auto Transmissions. Edited February 14, 2011 by dude (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 In fairness to MattH, hasn't he actually got two cars there? Welded together? So perhaps we halve the build cost as a comparison with others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was over 2k for everything - I had to have the geo redone too. Why would I send my car all the way down south just to have it 'diagnosed'? lol. It was to be repaired. Was told it was, but it failed as soon as I left the work shop. It was before your time though, Dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
