yer right there mate, even when i do them , every nut and bolt,

it still works out cheaper than playing golf or a season ticket fer somethin,

I dread to think.





I dread the Doris finding out even more though!

More than 5 times what I paid for it and still spending.

my last count was ten grand, but thats buying, insuring, tax, parts more tax over several years and four landies...... i aint had that moneys all at the same time!!! an like 90 says, its deffinatly cheaper than golf!!

so far £200 but over the next few years ........... how longs a piece of string

probally the same question

about 14 years ago i did a full nut bolt rebuild on a 62 s2 took around a year cost about 1k but i didnt do anything to the taty body thats just painting chassis and new bolt on parts suspension, brakes and the like

Very little... parts are cheap and fix most stuff myself.

Ah've spent **** loads.... but who's countin'
