My Roadster Stuff for Sale

[gingea1pom]

Afternoon all,

Clearly I have not done any work on my roadster for 6 months!!!

I had a good chat with myself then ran my thoughts by Nicky and with one thing and another have decided to sell up.

I think the forum is possibly the best place to market all the parts.

I have listed everything below with a price then added a description.

For Sale

Chassis £550. The Chassis is complete less the pedal box. It is for a type nine gearbox and GRP rear tub. To save me going on here follow the link to my build diary in my signature. The front frame has been painted and unfortunately there is some really light rust towards the rear. Included is the Aluminium floor, cut and drilled with over 200 rivet holes (took me hours). I have all the pictures of the build process and the diary that I can give to the buyer to prove it was not build by a company.

92 Sierra 1.8cc with type 9 gearbox £300. I have the log book in my name, VIN plate and number plates, the ‘car’ is SORN, all good stuff when you come to register and IVA. I could list everything I removed from the Sierra but again look at my build diary for more info. The steering lock is broken. The front hubs have been de-rusted and new bearings fitted also they have been reamed out to except the Maxi ball joints, they come with the mushroom inserts and grub screw holes have been drilled and tapped (by Enoch, thanks). I have new bearings for the rear that go with the car parts.

Mk 2 Escort steering rack £40.

Steering rack clamps £15

Saturn GRP Nose Cone in Black £100

Saturn GRP Rear Tube in Black £100

Full Wishbone and rear uprights c/w Bushes £370. Some of the bushes have been fitted the rest are in a bag. The rear uprights have been painted orange and some of the wishbones have been primered. Adjusters and Transit drag links included.

750cc Bike Carbs. £60. I don’t know much about these, I brought them off a forum member and they are gleaming! Never fitted by me they have come of a bike though.

Polo radiator. £20 The chassis has mounts to take this radiator.

Electric Fan. £20. Brought from Stonleigh last year and it is still in the box.

Head Lights £50. Brought from Stonleigh last year and they are still in the bag!

Seats.£150. Brought from Stonleigh last year. One has been used for mocking up the other has never been sat in. I have two seat runners that go with the sale one has been lengthened the other requires work. There is a picture of me sitting in them on page 24 of my build diary they are the ones from GBS.

That your lot, it all comes to £1775. I would love someone to take the lot for £1500 that is my ideal solution, but I fully appreciate we are all on a budget and don’t necessarily have that sort of cash kicking about but here’s hoping.
The best way to contact me is via email at gingeatwell@virginmedia.com it goes straight to my BlackBerry and you are likely to get a faster response. I am away AGAIN on Monday 15 Nov 10 for two weeks.

If someone has the lot there is a possibility I might be able to deliver, I reckon I can fit everything in my trailer with the chassis on top. We can talk about fuel money.

Not an easy decision to make but there it is. I won’t be on here from Monday 15 but will be logging on again from 26 Nov as I do daily (just have not been saying much recently, but still read all the posts, I might get one of Fabbys T-shirts!).

Cheers Ginge

Sad day Ginge, but a mans gotta do etc.
Would be interested in the fan if you can't find a buyer for the whole kit and caboodle. (Still have no idea what a caboodle is)
I hope someone comes along with the neccesary readies to keep your project going, good luck. Someone will get a bloody good start to a project.

Cheers Captain,

I will pencil your name in next to the fan!

Last part of qualifying to watch then I will be back.

Cheers Ginge

Such a shame you are selling it Ginge.

I havn't done anything on mine since last November due to 1st house/ lots of work. I have contemplated selling but was too far in to sell, so I bought more bits.

Good luck in the future and try a build again.

[Davey]

Oh man that is such a shame . I was so looking forward to seeing your car completed. Such is life I suppose but its still a sad day.

Bloody Hell

What a big shame Ginge, All the best with whatever you next steps are. Band saw is still going strong, cheers.

Just about to go home soon to watch recorded qualifying and chill out.

All the Best.....AndyH

Andy,

I won’t let on the qualifying result then!

It is a shame but I have had fun building the chassis, learnt loads of new skills and made some friends.

Probably the wrong time to sell but I am in no rush. I think I will get another Land Rover toy, more my area of expertise and I live on Salisbury plain the biggest off road course after Wales.

Cheers Ginge

[HandyAndy]
