Even if the quote was R85k to make it feesable for you to do it the cost of labour must of been huge. And by what I have seen it has taken a little over a week so far.
To be feesable you should be able to fix it for about R10k. R10k for the car, R10k for repairs, R10k for motor. Thats already R40k, you could by a decent sx for this price.
I could get a stock SX for R40 but I don't want that. This car has a lot of things done that will cost me around R30K if I had to do them from scratch. The project has moved fast but we have been working till 11pm almost every night. I have 30 staff so there is not one person working on it. as I said I will let everyone know the cost of the build at the end. I think you will be surprised. When you are in the industry you know which direction to go for advice, parts and labour. I also have sponsorship for the car from business partners and my suppliers.
man I would love to get my hands on that 2way LSD, just what I need

I am in the industry... beside that is the benefit to you as you can quote cheaper. I just think that quote was a bit high thats all.
I know the car very well, I wanted to buy it from Mike. Yes it has alot of goodies in it, but nothing major besides from the diff and interior. The CA18 had some nice toys but again nothing to great.
did you see the car to comment on the quote.
No I didnt see the quote I went from the pictures you posted and the ones Preshen showed me, thats why I said
I just think that quote was a bit high thats all.
It was my oppinion not a statement. Not meaning to be picking on you, its all in good spirit.
PS: you know what will go real nice with that SX is a new short shifter 😂 . We got a special going for R430, can I sign you up?? 😂

I'll be there soon you bunch of silicone tits!
Hey Gary the short shifter sounds good. Let me know the details and banking details
Hey Fly check out the "short shifter group buy" topic in the chat section.
Hey guys,
I finally have some time to update. After the panel beating was done if moved to the file shop. I posted pictures of the pin and file job done on all the panels to get the car straight.
After that it has been in paint shop as you will see from the pictures. They have closed any pin holes and applied the grey under coat. It's looking very good so far and the grey coat showed us there were a few areas that needed attention before paint. You have to apply the paint to see any defects and we found three. All very small but it's a shame to put on a custom paint job and then find out.
Enjoy the pictures.
its looking really good...
can't wait to see the finished product.
well done so far!
Looking awesome so far, well done! It's gonna be quite a machine when its finished 8)
Are u going to add the black stripe along the side of the car? Thats quite a debate here about whether it looks better with or without it 🙂
No I wont use the black. I will post pictures soon of the engine and the gear box I got yesterday. It was ordered from Japan and has a few toys. The car will be painted very soon and I will take pictures while they are painting it.
Thanks for the comments
The engine is the black tap cover with a racing clutch and a six speed gear box. The box is off a S15. We have stripped the engine down and rebuilt it. The toys for the engine came from Australia thanks to my mum and dad.
