I'm still looking for someone in the know and not those Mash Auto or Auto Perfection chaps! Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time!

Interior: 45k Wheels (14' alloy rims plus tyres): 36k Body works (panel beating, spraying): 55k Electrics (wiring,lenses,headlights): 40k I found these guys damn expensive!

This guys mean business when it comes to their profession. They are appointed agents for AA and also undertake repairs for UN and even some Govt cars of course due to quality work. They have huge cranes and robots just like those garages in Europe. I found them quite good and prices for individuals are competitive! bY aNy MeAns NecEsSaRy.....

Plus the Mash Auto guys are too extravagant. Their interior work including wiring and lighting was quoted at 80k, wheels cost 45k, and body work and painting was quoted 65k! This is before I even buy a new engine which they quoted 80k for a Toyota Levin! Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time!

I've noticed the youth in particular coming in to a workplace with a completely outsized notion of their own value and importance... just a thinly-veiled arrogance. May be the credit crunch induced recession is whats needed to remind us all about the value of hard work....

Rank: Veteran Joined: 9/5/2007 Posts: 627		@JKMwatha & Obi wan! I wish I could get a new ford engine but those things are damn expensive. Plus, can I get a new Ford Escort engine? Do they still make them? I thought the closest I could get would be a Ford Falcon engine. As much as I want to restore (convert for you JK) it, I also don't want to disfigure my finances! The car will be comfortable. I just want to have an alternative to drive over the weekend or on my local tourism drives. It has a sentimental value, that's why I don't want to see it rot away due to neglect. Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time!

Why give yourself limitations? tafuta on ebay uk... possibly £15-30k max. used +any other parts you need (Always honest descriptions - hauwezi danganywa).... ask that cazo of yours (here honesty might come at a premium) in UK to send through wale waria wa eastliegh (?) You pay for delivery when it arrives (deliveries weekly). No duty/no tax/no other costs... (unless your rela charges his/her own VAT). Ukiweka ya Toyota.... pia weka badge ya Toyota.... Motobex

I had budgeted a total of 150k which I hoped to negotiate down to 130k. I will check out what I can find on ebay. Thank you for your advice! Much appreciated!
