He has booked his coop in the garage for a couple of weeks time to get it back on the rd...

once turbo, manifold etc are oin its gotta pass its MOT.... now i wonder how much this is gunna cost

coupe? half a mortgage lol! nah seriously, if it's just to put it together, not much

i think his kidney is on ebay

ooh! that'd go nice in a Steak Pie lol

what bout the door?

we picked the door up on saturday so its just gotta be fitted

cool he getting it all done so he dont have to ride in the death machine no more?

as soon as i get my wages i will sort the tyres

Im given a belated cheer, as its taken an age to get to this stage

think its been off the rd sept/oct

So far, since the coop last turned a wheel under its own power, I've spent:
Manifold - £270
Oil cooler & pipes - £220
Brakes - £150 (though currently on loan )
Hybrid turbo - £370
Spare turbo - £100 (always handy to have a spare )
Door - £50
Tracker - £100

Still need:
Recovery to get it to Birmingham - £80
Labour - Probably about £300
MOT - £40
Tax - £165
Insurance - About £500

So about £1260 spent so far, and about another £1085 to spend...

It was actually August last year it failed its MOT. The reason it's taken so far to get to this point is that I've bought a house in the mean time! There's only so much spending I can do...

Trust me, they will make you feel guilty about it if you don't. I had to suffer this last year after Skeggy and mine weren't that bad . Think I'll take no chances and get them chainged a bit sooner this time

H, your car repairs make mine look positively cheap

trust me when the wire is sticking out it is bad

Can't wait till you get back on the road fella, maybe more posts in the coupe spotting section That's a sh*t load of money to spend on a car, I would have to sell up. That's commitment fella !

I went to look at mine today in the garage, new wishbones fitted along with the eibach's. It didn't look any lower I guess the boy racer in me expected it to be lower than a snake's belly. Still, it doesn't look like a 4x4 now at least.

Wonder what the bill will be this time?

erm what if i try to get them done this weekend... wil, that make you happy dave

matt i think we should start a coupe owners skint club!!!

I blame the unprofessional installers

Yes, from when they installed them about 3 years ago!

Talk about commitment, I forgot the skirts, at £50, and more locking wheel nuts, £20.
In the 18 months before it broke, it had the cambelt change (about £500 with a service I think), front suspension rebuild (about £200), and a new exhaust (£350) and decat (£90). Plus the routine stuff, like 6 tyres (£500) and about 20 litres of oil (£150).
All prices estimated to save my sanity
Also surprising how many people obviously browse the coop section.... wonder if they'll see any subliminal messages in this post....?

SAMMI - TAKE THE LOAN OFFER

H, will it get through the MOT with the decat
