Scally Rally entrants, Whats your news??????

[Andy Brookes 0]

I've yet to finalise what car I'm bringing. It's looking like my 1990 Jetta TD though. It needs a clutch, rear brake shoes and handbrake cables, a timing belt and a radiator.

 

Before I get to that I have to rebuild a Golf G60, then respray it. Then do the same to a Mk1 golf. I also have a few bits to do to my Mk2 8v, and I have to put new brakes on my Vento track car and get it set up properly in time for April 9th.

 

How I'm going to fit it all in I've no idea.....

 

And I thought I was busy!

[Geo 0]

so you've given up on the idea of selling the Vento then? :shock: :lol:

 

No a deal has been done, with the co-owner for him to buy me out and put it on the road. But it will be doing 2 trackdays in April before its retirement.

 

@Andy, tell me about it! My weekends are crazy at the moment, have to get the G60 built, painted and run in before June as I hope to bring it to GTI International :roll:

Also, my teammate might not be able to afford the event! :x

I foolishly let him know how much it was likely to cost, and his jaw dropped :lol:

 

How much is it going to cost then (if you don't mind me asking)?

[jenks 0]

Bout a grand! Well thats what we've budget'd for it but were also driving back from madrid! Hardcore!, were gona do alot of charity work,sponcership,donations,etc

£150 entry fee

£100 for the Car

£100+ Spare parts

£56.50 European AA cover :wink: :lol:

£250-350 Petrol (A diesel would probably cut this immensly)

£150 Food/accomodation for about 4 days (or maybe sleep in the car..)

£50 Ferry to calas

£32 Flights home for 2 people

 

~£80 for 6 months road tax (but some of this would be refunded after we scrap the car)

~£350 for 10 months insurance via Elephant (again, a large chunk of this would be refunded)

 

Total: £1418.50!!! :shock:

Yeah we park it at Madrid airport's long stay car park, and then come home :lol:

 

I think (hope) there's some scrap yards in Madrid. Or we can just give the car away for free to some random stranger :)

We are having the following slogan on the rear bumper " Se Venta : Solo 4 Cevesa" Which means... For Sale : Only 4 Beers!

[Andy Brookes 0]

thats enough keeping it secret iow!

 

Got the head off the saab yesterday, all is looking fine. It would seem that the gasket was replaced not so long ago, but whoever tightened the head bolts didnt do them up very well as they took minimal effort to undo and the gasket didnt have any huge failiures. Need to check the head for flatness before going any further.
