Correct. I'm about half way there and the car is worth $/£0 because it won't be sold while I'm alive.Oh yes!! Can well relate…! $8k for engine rebuild…$5k for leather interior..$5k for respray and then the brakes,suspension, 4 bbl carb and manifold. What are we? Over $20k now? Couldn’t sell it for anything near what I have in it, but is it worth it? To me yes…!
I like the way you rollActually, our restaurant budget is quite reasonable.
I do my best to keep the running cost of the Rover down. I've only ever filled the Rover's tank with the 'gone off' lawn mower petrol, that super unleaded is the worst. The Rover has never been restored but then I was lucky I had some paint polish on the shelf already; my partner was quite stunned when she saw the difference a bottle of polish makes.
Our big household cost is keeping the washing machine working, I needed to buy a TIG welder to fix that once. Another big cost in our house is the unreliable oil fired central heating, but I found a company in England that does a good spares service, Wadhams. They do those sparky things for the burner in boxes of 8. They even sell the air filers too.
I hear a lot of female callers complaining about that on Radio 4 Woman's Hour the other day, apparently a lot more widespread than you'd think.I was warned recently about an ebay scam where you order expensive jewellery for your wife, but you are actually sent car parts!
l'm certain the price will fade, rather than be forgotten, once they're both back out on the roads.
