TTT 7K?

 

[Barkafer]

Just had an offer of 6550, should I , or shouldn't I.....!? What would you do?
:?

 

[marcher]

got to be worth more than that???

 

[Barkafer]

It's only worth as much as someone's willing to pay at the end of the day and it's a buyers market, with most wanting shiny!
I may have to let it go!!!

 

[Barkafer]

Up ttt! Had about 12-13 enquiries so far, but no takers :? Offers around 7K?

 

[Barkafer]

One last bump before I keep it and finish the job.

 

[Barkafer]

On ebay now. 2 days left! :|

 

[Barkafer]

Price drop, 6,500 ono?

 

[Barkafer]

It failed the Mot on some really dodgy stuff!
1. Offside stop light not as bright as the n/s (really!)
2. Sticker on the front screen encroaching (behind the damn rear view mirror)
3. Parking brake releases when knocked (not when I tried it, thumped it a few times, couldn't get it to release)
4. Front seat belt anchorage prescribed area fractured (centre mounting not welded....er yes it is, it passed for the previous two tests!)
More relevant...
5. Front brakes imbalanced (new brake pads fitted today)
6. Brake pedal anti-slip provision missing (glued in place now)
7. Steering system excessively tight (adjusted)
8. Nearside rear suspension bolt missing/snapped (oops! better get a new one)
Advisory
9. o/s/r outer cv boot split.
All things considered not a bad fail. The most challenging part is the suspension bolt which is snapped off in the hub.
That could be awkward :|

 

[Barkafer]

6K anyone?

Got the bolt out, easier than I thought. 12 Months Mot tomorrow, with any luck!

 

[Barkafer]

Passed mot

Thanks fellas. went out this morning and stripped the ignition, the plastic bit is broken and the new GFS bit is correct and fits a treat.
Ignition doesn't spring back tho, so further diggin needed. Feckin freezing so I had to stop. :roll:

Bus is now SOLD!
New owner is collecting it at the American Diner on Sunday and he's a super cool dude!
I reckon the bus has been waiting for this guy to come along, he absolutely loved it and I'm really pleased as it's definitely gonna be loved and looked after even more.
