Testing the Water BDA

[ian parker]

Kev, i think the only question you need to ask is... whens the next one likely to come along ???. I think you shouldn,t have said anything, then waited for the biggest show, turned up last, and watched who could under the bonnest quickest !!

[RS2000&MEXICO]

Did actually think about that

what a ringer kev... ...thats not like you ...just buy it and put it in the mex...

[pockets]

bloody hell kev have you sold 6 pints of your blood and a kidney

put the BDA in, so long as its not "standard" and make a glass topped coffee table out of the pinto, would be a good taking point at dinner parties......

jammy sod

[Frosticles]

Havn't got it yet Paul. Need to sweet talk the little lady a bit first Tis mine if I want it though

[wiggyrs]

Get the BDA put in Kev you know it makes sense

[rs2000_gb]

got to be done Kev

[Skids]

If you know enough about it and its the right money I would go for it.If you don't know its history and spec and if its top money then keep away.A bad BDA will cost you a fortune and you could have a total loss.A rod out and you can hardly recover anything to reuse in a rebuild.Trust me I have seen a few over the years when Banner has poped a rod at 9k ,with a Wilcox rebuild in excess of 6 figures.your misses must be a very understanding lady to let you consider it ,I thought mine was ok when she bought my Rally car for me,well sold her Terrano to allow me to buy it,but to add an engine on top of your very impressive spec car which you must have quite a bit of dollar in ,she must happy with you

[Frosticles]

Er, I havn't told her as yet I need to pick my time. She'll understand though, I'm sure.........

[RabC-RS2-77]

just go get it, & bang it int garage !

[yellow peril]

blood hell kev when would be the right time ..... i would suggest wineing and dining and a bit of sixtyn#ning, and while shes blotto and in that post loving dilerium just slip it in....... the BDA request i mean

seriously tho you should be able to recoup a fair wedge for your pinto, if i hadnt invested in new 45s i would have been very interested.

[TimGR]

with a Wilcox rebuild in excess of 6 figures.

Wow, so in excess of 6 figures is 7 figures; 100,000 for a rebuild seems pretty steep to me.

[Mex 1t]

frosty you should av just got it, kept ye gob shut about it.
got anutha mk11, with a 18 log book, lol.
then just turned the car out in a couple of years, ... like !
thats wat olde rab would've done, lark !

now now nesbitt u know that is naughty and against the law

but kev if it dosent suit your car then i will buy it for half price lol lol lol

[graham John]
