Now i was well into this scene, Building my car at the same time as this.
Mine was older with more miles, But finished, And I sold mine for £750. I spent unfortuantely £17k on mine ( i have all the reciepts) Ill admit i sold the 2.0 engine, leather retrimmed Interior and the ICE which probably accounted for £8k of the £17k, But either way the exterior and car cost £10k. IT had just had a freshen up respray whe ni sold it too.
All you do when you spend this sorta money is de value the car.
Now there was a bit of unintetionally "rivalary" between me and Hilly when building out cars. He simply had more money and thought I Was being jealous buy saying i didnt like it etc etc, But without fear of him saying im jealous.
He will not get 4 figures for that car, in that state. Finished, maybe £3k. Its a 7 year old clio, That needs £3-4k spending on it minimum. We are in the middle of a credit crunch and there simply isnt a scene for this car no more.
