Rebuilds...

Little Butch · Dec 21, 2014

Contemplating rebuilding my 110 pickup so just trying to get a rough idea of what it'll cost. Obviously there'll be a massive variation on cost depending on what you've all 'rebuilt' but would still be nice to know

It'll probably be in the summer as I have no workshop, just a carpark at the side of our house.

Just trying to get some inspiration, ideas really...
Anybody got a total of what they've spent?

Pikey · Dec 21, 2014

noo chassis from £1250 to £1800 depending what you get where yu go. allow another 500 quid, for wear & tear replacments. then whatever you spend on toys etc.

Little Butch · Dec 21, 2014

Yeah, I new the chassis was gunna be the expensive bit. Worth doing properly though!
I can see Aaron's viewing this, I'd LOVE to fit a cummins lump while it's in bit... Beyond my mechanical/fabrication skills though...

Mine cost me £6000 ish including original vehicle.
Which was a 200tdi 90.

Little Butch · Dec 21, 2014

How much of that was the vehicle, Aaron?

Think I paid £3000, but can't remember exactly.
But some stuff was sold to get some money back.
Plus I had about £1300 in decent panels which was a big chunk.
Mines a funny one to be honest, can't really give a complete break down without going though it again, just knew the total.

When you start to dismantle costs rise fast

.

You don't have to go crazy to spend 8000 pounds !

FFS Minty is reading this.. & I've told her I can do a complete rebuild for less than 2k.

Behave yaselves will ya..

With a new chassis you're looking in the region of 3-4k.

Little Butch · Dec 21, 2014

This is what I was worried about haha! I don't have that kind of money.
Doesn't stop me dreaming though..

Exactly, that's the problem, the more you strip the more you find!
Always find stuff you don't expect.

You could always just tidey the old girl up cosmetically for under 1k.

aaronmorris · Dec 21, 2014

Just done a few quick calculations to give you a better idea, brothers td5 90 I'm rebuilding at the mo is currently under 1k in bits and obviously plus chassis.
So a good job can be done on a budget, main thing being the condition of the vehicle.

If I'd have kept all the money I've spent on fixing her I could have rebuilt her haha! That's the reason I want to do it, fed up of chucking money repairing, rather just do the job once and for all... Well it's a landy so that'll be next month...

Exactly, that's why I just like doing it all in one go

Southernlandy · Dec 21, 2014

You can spend as much as you want. I bought mine as a CAT C write-off for £1.5K then the costs never seemed to stop. In the end, I spent over £4500 on parts which included a new ashcroft gearbox. At the end of the day, do it properly and you'll end up with a vehicle which is almost new. It gives you a huge sense of achievement to finish something like this. I wouldn't even sell mine for 10k as you somehow get attached to your car when doing a rebuild like this and nothing can pay back the time and effort put in.

james6546 · Dec 22, 2014

My build has come to about £4k, but that included a recon transfer box, dual tank system and replacing some stuff that just looked tatty but still worked. I reckon if I did it again I could get it below 3.

If you can do it it is a great achievement, though kiss goodbye to your free time for 6 months!
