Car Trailer

[Fireball]

Anybody got one and something that will pull it that they could drive/hire to lincoln please?

As i have to ask, the secret is out, and yes, it's a 1.6 CVH fiesta.....

It's a rusty old piece of shit N/A 2i, but it has all the parts i'd need to steal for my "mona frankenstein lisa". As in, undercarrage, fuel lines, bumpers, side skirts.....the list goes on, but all the bits you need to make a normal chassis worthy of recieving a 230bhp fire breathing engine. Call it a rolling parts bin if you will.

If i happen to get some time to make it run, and i happen to have the inclination, then ragging round the countryside a few weekends this summer before i strip it would be an idea i'm not writing off 



BESIDES THE POINT - Trailer? Anyone? Front wheel Dolly even?

[RST-Steve]

This sounds awesome steve, knew you'd give in at some point!!

... gotta be tempting to run it round for a bit now the (... hopefully) better weather is here

Any pics?

It's becoming less and less a good idea, and moving towards the realm of cant be arsed. Plus i dont have a dolly to attach the trailer to. Spent most of the day phoning people and thinking about it.

As for pictures, it is a scabby old bitch - i only wanted her for parts really. Something about them in white, with blue stripes and orange indicators that that just does it for me

no mate, i'd need an entire trailer, and then something to pull it. Thanks tho

She's rough, but im sure it'd last a few weekends of hell. Only 3 owners from new, never stolen/written off/paid out etc. Not that it'd matter

I PM'd Frank, but I think he might be away...

Any good to you?

Thats very good of you fella thanks. I think £495 is a bit much for a non runner in that state so i'm debating driving up there and seeing if i can talk him down a bit. Fecking long way, might be best to write this one off and wait for another....

Nice one chris - that second one works out about £150 door to door which is not that bad. Once i got a trailer rented or something, plus petrol/diesel, it wouldnt be that much worse.


Anyone want to come on a road trip on the weekend

Go up there with cash and offer him £375 and work from there.

Yea was thinking that - then if he says higher ill say "it'll have to be on the CC then......". That should do it. It's basically a massive fackin parts bin, there's no reason to be charging that much for it

[RST-Steve]

Yeah its an optimistic price with obviously room for movement................ you can come down but you can't go up kinda thing! I'd say anything around the £400 would be alright but £350 would be better!

I did see that on the world of ebay a few weeks back,  Did have a few bids on it, but the reserve was set higher.

Looks ok, i like the look of them, better than a mk3.5 imo.

For a rusty old non-runner without tax or mot, i think it's well overpriced. But then, look at what else is on there - a capri that looks like a tramp's been sleeping in it, for sale for a couple of grand!

Totally agree, the only thing is there aint many mk3 2i's about.What ever the condition,imo if the price was only a little better, i think its worth it.
