rough costs?

Usually more than the car is worth

[bad20v]

Is that the BZ-G donor car?

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

bugger, i thought to myself, bugger doing the conversion, just turn the levin into the race car
(even tho it would need new boot, bonnet, front and rear bumpers, headlights, tail lights and front gaurds)
so yeah i guess it wont be worth it

here is a few pics i took of the car last night (beware - BIG pics)-> http://photobucket.com/albums/b346/Sant ... leigh/bzg/
what do ya rekon a good price would be for it?
1995 AE111 BZG levin, 105,000kms
would i make any money back selling the spares?

[bad20v]

I've seen that car somewhere before. I recognise the engine bay/ filter placement/ and cover over the quad throttles.
Don't know quite where though.

what do ya rekon a good price would be for it?

Ummm... $2500?...... $4000 maximum!

[Mr Revhead]

that will cost to fix.
your lalmost ooking at a complete rebuild from the fire wall forward by the looks of that.....


you can make $$ from the parts... depends what you paid for it!

[Jebus]

hmm yeah
havent brought it yet
told the guy i was going to think about it
i need as much ammo to throw back to him to bump the price down - HELP HERE PLEASE

hes 17, works at countdown and crashed it 4 days after he got it whilst racing top stuff dude

and do ya like all the plastic checkerplate floormats/'monsta tacho' and all the TRD/Autoguage/K&N stickers? BLING BLING

[Mr Revhead]

whats it like on the l/h side? it may just need a nosecut and r/h guard assy, but itll stil cost a few grand...

you could wreck it
or build it into a race car... but id say your looking at 10k to repair and make race ready...... 10k can buy a damn good track car.....

if it was me, and i could get it for a coupla k id wreck it....

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

i want the motor box ecu etc for my racecar, but im not sure if id get anything selling the rest of the parts - it is pretty bunged up on the outside, and how many people want interior stuff?!

Carpet Burns getting angry at me - "if you buy that it will just sit around bla bla bla, something about money bla bla"

[Mr Revhead]

rear lamps? glass?
to be honest once the engine etc is gone theres not a lot left that youll be able to sell......

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

things that are good that i wont need:
1 rear lamp, all the glass, rear brakes, seats, dash, carpet, a few panels, superstrut suspension, lowering springs (some light blue ones, dunno what brand), air con bits, door cards, electric window stuff, roof lining, k brace, factory speakers, maybe a few other bits n pieces.

do ya rekon the bent, stripped chassis would sell at all?
i dont even know what prices i should sell the bits for.
Warwick, you have a bit of the inside knowledge, if you wouldnt mind could you email me some rough guesses if you get time please?

[Mr Revhead]

how much is he asking?

[Distrb]

lowering springs (some light blue ones, dunno what brand)

Sound like Dobisport (and i think theres another brand with a similar colour)

[Lanius]

I'll take those extractors off your hands if you buy it and aren't using them

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

I'll take those extractors off your hands if you buy it and aren't using them

they will probably be used on the racecar sorry

[Distrb]
