mrs wants to sell all our cars and get a 4wd ute, something along the lines of a Rodeo, Navara or Hilux, i really like shaunus's one! works for me as i dont have a lic anyways and buying a house has moved up the list by a couple months thx to my new job

I kept all my toys while buying a house! it is possible believe it or not haha
Anyway in your project travels, i'm still chasing a stock LS1 for when i need to get rego as i got no chance with the cammed engine
I reckon you should keep it when you're finished, however at the low purchase price, good profit could help your house deposit easily!
How long you lost your license for this time?

tru, but im not selling to fund the house, more of a friendly transition into more family orientated car.. house is already approved
tru profit is to be had, but pls do consider im still yet to 1: paint the car 2: replace the diff 3: get tyres for 19s 4: front windscreen 5: chase up all the lil fiddly bits that cost $$$
oh yer and thats not even driving the car yet, who knows, could have it all finished and something is totally wrong?? also car has cost me in excess of 4k already including asking price then add up the list above!!
