Kid Dynamite 5936 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Anyone know much about them? Been ordered to sell one of my pinball machines and rather than spend the cash on sweet fuck all I'd rather re-invest it in something else. Was thinking of maybe buying a classic American car project for around £5k and doing it up over the next couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9007 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Sell them all and get into property with buy to let. Shut up you daft prick, he wants a fun project. Don't know anything about them, but my mates Dad used to build Hotrods and did so well he's moved over to California and is a partner in a custom hotrod firm. I can ask if he's got any advice?

Kid Dynamite 5936 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Please. Something like a 77 camaro seems to be in my price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9007 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Please. Something like a 77 camaro seems to be in my price range. All right, will do. Seeing my mate today so I'll ask him then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5936 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Sell them all and get into property with buy to let. You remind me of the boyfriend of a lass I know. Was speaking to him a few years back and told him I was buying an x box. He said I'd be better served buying shares. I told him you can't play Fifa with shares though. He then asked me where my window ledges were from as he liked them True story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26439 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 You want to fix up an old car, yet you know nothing about cars? Seems a kind of strange thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5936 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 How do people learn about anything though? I never used to know a thing about pinball machines and now I can strip one and rebuild it from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26439 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 £5k+ seems a bit steep for someone dipping their toe in the water but if you're happy enough to spend the money then good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'm most amused by the fact that you've been "ordered" to sell one of your pinball machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5936 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 How much will selling the pinball table get you? 5-6k. Cost me 2800. Who is laughing now cuntfaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5936 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm torn between getting a proper beater from the 60s or 70s that will need a lot of work, or something from the 80s that still runs fine. You can pick up a corvette in good nick from the late 80s for under 5k. It would still beat most modern sports cars in a drag race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Bit over your price range.... but http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1949-chevrolet-3100-thriftmaster-pure-rat-meat-hardcore-rat-rod-/180816399342?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a197f4bee#ht_1438wt_937 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13872 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 One lad at Uni had a Ford Capri that he had done up perfectly to look like an old Mustang. Everything was perfect, racing wheels, silver hardware on the outside, pearlwhite finishing with a racing stripe and numbe. I originally thought it was a mustang.

Kid Dynamite 5936 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 You can buy kit car ferraris for relatively cheap. Most are based on an MR2 but it kind of defeats the point imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13872 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yeh definitely! I would go down the Capri route if you're going for the racing car look, I've no idea what CT's plan was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
