I've moved onto the first mumblings of the planned project now, Boring but very important,
budgeting!!! (yes, they always go out of the window, but if i make an over induldgious worst case scenario budget, i may be okay there ), anyway, this in any project is always the most depressing part, grand plans are all well and good, but when you put them all down on paper and count up very roughly what it would cost, it doesnt always seem such a great idea
I've broken the project up into 5 stages to help with timing the project, speeding up important areas and most importantly, giving me time to work out where the hell the money for the next job is comming from!
The plan is to get the Cinq looking right for St.Andrews this year, this will take me up to the end of stage 2. part 2 being the biggest pain in the jacksy, the exterior.
Being hugely ambitious i've went for the final price of stage 4 out of the 5 i have planned.
The first 4 stages i have planned are to get it to what i would consider a completed cinq. (5 being just for the hell of it! ) the full price i estimate including insurance etc was stupidly staggering!, so i hate to think what stage 5 would do to costs, considering that would be by far the most expensive single part..... turboing!!, wether i ever got that far would be another matter, i would happily rest with it up to 4.
The stages are,
Stage 1, Buying the Cinq, Cleaning up, sorting any critical rough edges.
Stage 2, Exterior and suspension.
Stage 3, Mechanical and performance,
Stage 4, Interior and sound
Stage 5, Turbo time!! (this ones totally optional and at a much later date)
It's all still very much in the grand planning right now, but as soon as i get the Cinq, it's GAME ON!!
