car is finally mine=D

[stamford]

Nice feeling eh. Now you can do some serious modding

[Ritchy]

well nothing too outlandish i dont think, would like some new shocks all round and a new cat but other than getting it back to like new not wanting to change it too much

[tb steve]

start saving now for a house its just cost me near on 20k to move in

but it is nice when you pay the car off

[Ritchy]

got over 5k put aside just now for thee house so just keeping on adding to that as i can few months and my loan will be payed off too so thats another chunk of money back, then just need to pay off snap on...hate debt

[Ritchy]

finally got round to getting a quote for getting the car resprayed, ?1200 full respray bootlid repaired, rear quarter repaired, thats off a reputable bodyshop near me and he says thats a good job, needs the car for the week but told him i dont mind how long its there as long as its right at the end of it, so hopefully get that booked in tail end of the summer im thinking,
split mind whether to get a loan for 2k, get the new shocks, new set of tyres, buy a clutch and just fit my new gearbox and fly ect around the same time so it feels like new when its done...decision decisions

[Captain Peanut]

Well done for getting the car paid off, always hated not owning cars outright and is why I always buy something I can afford to pay cash for now.

Have you got quotes for a vinyl wrap instead of a respray? Would be interested to see how they compare and then gives you the option to change colours without too much hassle.

[Ritchy]

it really needs resprayed because of the rear quarter damage, plus im pretty fussy so id want all the engine bay inside of doors ect to be the same colour, it may happen in the future a different colour repray but id want to fully strip it to the shell for that

cars aint worth it and you made this thread called car is finally mine and now you want to owe money on it again

ps. bound to get scratches and carpark dents anyway and that will really tick you off if you have it resprayed

[BUCKYDEVIL]

That sounds like a really good price for a full respray Ritchie.
If you really intend to keep her then Id say go for it and to hell with the money.
