Do you realise where these cars are at? It will cost around £500 just to get one of these to the mainland (Aberdeen). I'm keeping the back axles so they won't even be rolling. Then you have transport costs to get it down the country. I'll be honest here as I was earlier on to another guy who thought these were saveable, they are completely rotten. Neither car is worth repairing because they're so bad. I'd say anyone who would attempt to repair either of these is completely bonkers, that's before spending kicking the arse of a grand on transportation.

The car is in the Shetland Isles so I would suggest you look into shipping costs before you commit to anything mate! I will strip everything off I want to keep and you can have the shell for free. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing someone had paid me for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thee green manta will live again! Look what i started now! Maybe you could give him the red manta two, make one out of the two of them! Or maybe philip1971 will do both! Might as well like! Fairplay! Got a question, what is a landyloon? Edited April 11, 2016 by ®evo03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 He he. Landyloon was a bloke who appeared and took a load of money from various forums many years ago. He is a legend. Probably now in prison but probably in Spain drinking beer I paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
