not worth more than £600

You must be having a giraffe, that is a lightweight, bet it needs rebuilding, much more work than starting anew. there looks to be £1500 needed and a new zero is £2000.

thats why I say not worth more than £600. only things of any value wheels, hubs,Diff, etc

[Guest shaggy]

wheels look to be worth at least......................£300???

[Longboarder]

But perhaps not a bad starting point for someone building a locost/ron champion car. Lots of bits that might be worth a grand.

I thought the lightweight had problems with the IVA - as (allegedly) there was no strength in the chassis? Am I wrong?

Whole section on lightweight issues on here. It's worth the part plus crap value of the chassis.

[Guest tom-zero]

i would love to know where you can get a new zero for 2k from im curently building one spent 8k already with about another 4k to go still

[Grim]

at least it includes a chassis...

[Guest tom-zero]

nope certainly does not include all you need to complete lol

Someone will buy it, finish it and then just ring it.

Tom I don't think you are comparing like with like. I bet you haven't got a tired Pinto power train, all reconditioned or new stuff I bet. Hubs breaks discs, all new?

 

Yes I am £345 including Vat out at £2000 but excluding VAT it's very close.

 

The auction is for the most expensive donor car, because that is what it is, I have ever seen.

 

However what has been missed is the cost of collection and disposal. Further as Steve questions the lightweight has severe construction problems, As I have not seen the vehicle I can't say it must be stripped down to pass IVA but that is the essence of the earlier post.

 

Ebay Buyers Run A Mile. Unless you are DAD you won't know the half of it

[Guest Alan_builder]

What's up with the editor?

[Guest tom-zero]

yeah going for all new/ recon, stuff the point i was making was that the £2345 is for a base kit and i would think even doing it on the cheapest possible budget you would still be in for 5-6k

[richardm6994]

Tom.....I've not built a zero so this is a question, not a critism......but if you was to build one on the cheap....kit price of £2345 and a £500 donor car......what else to you need to complete the build that brings you to £5-6k?

 

Although I've heard you need to put £1k to one side to get through IVA, if you was building something for track fun you could get rid of this cost and have a working zero for less than £3k?
