if i sold it id be after something around the £3k mark, not decided yet tho
bearing in mind that by the time i sell i'll have spent £2000 on new bits for it (gearbox, driveshaft, starter motor, engine mounts, rear brakes etc)

you shouldn't have said quick fits price you fool, they'll just under cut them by hundred or so. if you dint tell them, they'd probably have done it for cheaper than what they will charge you now

theyre just sussing out wot i need at the mo, theyve got the car and are having a look at it, theyre goin 2 ring me later and give me the quote, if i dont like it then ill play a few of the local garages off each other
i know wot the parts are worth individually and that comes to about £300 and it'll be a big job 2 whack it all on etc
