I know it does not look to good John, but as it is family I should at least give it a chance. At the worst I will strip it down, say "this is just not worth it" and post the good part in the for sale forum...
But I like a challenge, and as such will not give up before I even start. I will keep you all posted on progress - which will be slow as we are expecting a baby any day now (due date is 10th of June), and the 924 is on the bottom of the project lists - most possibly I will post the details in the other forum, and give a summary and link from here...
At the moment the only thing the car has cost me is a day in travelling and the fuel to get down there and back. And the trip was a fun day with my brother, so not lost money. So in my view I am starting with a cost of $0. Based on this calculation my target is to get the car running and safe to use at a cost under what a running 924 would cost me (that is in parts cost only, my time is free
)
And if I was 100% honest, I would say exactly the same to any of our customers who showed us a car in this condition "run away", but it is not a customers car, and I am mad (or so I am told
)
