[Anonymous]

if you put a quid on every draw for 70 years its just under 8000 quid you've spent in your lifetime... and the odds are over 13 million to 1 so you could still never win.

SID!!!!

Why would I want an M3? If you read my post you will understand that I have to get a car featured.

Its a life ambition, I have taken a year out to build 1!

I had a bad incident with a feature car a while back, I done all the hard work to an Escort Cabriolet, then sold it to a mate (now ex-mate) who simply rang fast car and they came down and featured it.

And of course it was all his own hard work!!! Tosser.

After it has been featured I will sell it in Mint condition for a obscure vehicle and continue my degree.

THen once my degree has finished build more Novas and grow old (haha)

[Anonymous]

Paid ?255 for the car at a write off auction and have spent about ?4400 excluding bodywork, theres about ?3500 worth of bodywork, 2 full repaints, lucky I work in a bodyshop ;)

About ?1800 in total for the car and mods.

I made a list, but it was huge, so decided not to post it!

[Anonymous]

?1000 and I have not even started with the mods yet.

Shudder!! Wot a nasty thought:O
I reckon I must be pushing around ?5.5K now -that includes mods to wheels, suspension, engine swap and top end, zorst, front wings and bumpers, seats, re-spray, drivetrain....

ulp! don't tell the missus:O!!!

[Anonymous]

My ?1800 included engine swap, Weber, K&N, stainless zorst, full body-work restoration (inc. new rear arch panels, new driver's door, sill clean-up etc), re-spray (all apart from roof, as that's still fine), elecy windows/central locking, Mountney wheel, lowering, LCD dash, alloys/tyres, sunroof (slide/tilt fitted by me!), clear lenses, skirts, Corsa A GT front, GTE rear bumper "flick", custom splitter, custom mesh grill, sports seats (re-trim on the way...price included in the ?1800), new GTE brakes etc etc.
It's scary how little it's cost, 'cos that also includes buying the car in the first place!
