how much does your truck owe you?

[spinna]

I paid less for my Trol than what they seem to go for as non road worthy scrappers,
£200 for new rear bumper ends
£130 for Pedders rear shocks
£100 window tinting
£350 New Maxxis 751 tyres
£80 for 5 spoke rims, from a good friend
£150 new stereo when old one blew
£460 custom 3" s/s exaust
£80 for some welding work to pass m.o.t (when purchased Trol)

Then obviously general service costs, and other bits and pieces ive forgotten about which over about 3 years I don't think is too bad for what is becoming a classic car.
Oh and £20'000 for a tintent to tow behind it lmao:lol:lol.

The old girl needs a fair bit of welding doing now and some new springs so plenty more money needed for her

 

[stinka]

£3.5k as it stands including £2200 for buying

Tyres cost most, got rims for £20

Rear shocks were £100 and water pump was £70

Rest I begged and stole, and I've made all the mods from cheap eBay stuff

Intercooler was £100 but will sell the old non faulty one

Injectors serviced £100

Maf £70

Loads of other cheap stuff like front pads, ball joints, fuel lines, inlet manifold gasket, belts, drive boots, used drive shaft, used front prop, 2 used steering idlers, wheel cylinder, temp sender ... And other shit I forgot

Tell u what, whoever buys this is getting a new truck ... I'll never sell it tho :lol

 

[exosteve]

good thread!
my god the list just goes on don't it.
at least Ive give up all my other toys (bikes,campers,and generaly expencive hobbys)
and any pocket money I get is going on my truck.no exeptions

Ok without being too personal about peoples property.
I don't know about you lot but I wouldn't like to try and find the money to replace my truck again.
I don't do fianance (cant lol)
So in the last 7 months Ive found the money to buy it,do all the repairs and do a few upgrades not to mention the time Ive spent rolling around underneath it.(I don't know how I did that)
my truck was very expencive at 2.4k (wrong time of year to buy)
and I must of spent 2k on it so far and plan on a lot more as it comes in..
so far it owes me 4.5k and it would probably be worth 1800 if I sold it(not going to happen).
so Im thinking of buying these

sorry don't know how do a linky thingy

Swoped mine for a £250 ford KA.... stupid man! spent £100 on new spots and cleaned the inside, need new tyres soon but nothing else.. :augie

 

[arcascomp]

£800 18 months ago, £50 on a set of part used tyres from here, a couple of hundred on some much needed welding and now another hundred or so on a welder so I can learn to do the rest before next MoT. £100 on a replacement leather interior as well - well pimped!

Bits and bobs here and there, much less than it should have been thanks to Kishada, but all in, not much for 8 months driving and a lot of that has been on free/cheap veggie so probably quids in.

 

[bry]

my mind is at rest.
still thinking about the cameras on my drive though.
Ive had people paint strip my car before now.
some one nicked a stereo from my car In broad day light in my drive once (a long time ago but you don't forget these things]
and I got burgled 18 months ago
lovely place to live though:lol

I have CCTV covering my drive.I installed it initially because Gypo's Were looking through my letter box to see if they could spot any keys.And they were nicking things from my garden.Now when they come by they don't even look in my garden/drive.I take the keys to bed with me guarded with a baseball bat and a WW2 Bayonet.

 

[exosteve]

my house is like fort knox after my burglary.
2 dead locks on the front door 2 dead locks on the living room door.3 locks on the back door. reinforced doors, alarm, crossbow and a big bat.
only down side is if you have left the house and have forgot some thing as it takes so long to get back in:lol
But I was taken for 7k. a lot of cash jewellery that was worth a lot and irriplacable. and a lot of stuff beside.
the insurance company I was with wouldn't even replace a camera I droped even with accidental cover.
there was no chance of a pay out from them for a watch worth 1000 quid for example with out recipts ect.
my property is now well protected.
im going to buy these cameras to protect my car. or at least shame any shit heads with footage on face book.

 

[bry]

£1OOO.
That includes new front brake pads+discs.
New Bosch MAF(£35)(Local Bullseye)
Welding to rear sills both sides.
New CV joints.
New fuel pump
New BF Goodrich AT Tires((£120 each)
Other bits n bobs.

[richbids]

well I would cry if I added up all my receipts !!! . my terrano is a 55 plate (2006)and we bought it from car craft(yes silly I know) in early 2007 costing me 12,000 pounds ; but she did only have 5,000 miles on her . she's been the best car I have ever owned part from annual servicing and 3xsets of tyres .we have not had to spent too much on her .clutch &clutch pedal, torsion bar and a maf sensor not bad in seven years !!!!

1995 Nissan Terrano r3mR ownership

and I must of spent 2k on it so far and plan on a lot more as it comes in..
so far it owes me 4.5k and it would probably be worth 1800 if I sold it(not going to happen).

I paid £3200 in 2008 for my r3mR it was top money but had new tyres, New CD Radio, Aircon Repair, plus injectors & recent turbo.
Spend 2008 £366.
Spend 2009 £855 includes s/s exhaust.
Spend 2010 £860 includes alarm / immobilser /central locking system.
Spend 2011 £1240 full suspension re-build at rear & alternator replacement, new glow plugs.
Spend 2012 £172.
Spend 2013 £168.
Probably worth £500 to someone who wanted one but I hope to get another year or two out of her yet. If it passes Mot in August its going to need a set of tyres. I do just under 8k miles a year. I reckon its cheap 4 x 4 ownership as I do not do my own repairs but use a local one man band garage.

Just had another look.No hard drive.Whilst that is not a problem in it self.
But i was thinking this.You need to open the dvr to fit the hard drive.What happens if there is a problem?would the seller say.Ah you have invalidated the warranty?Not only that to set a CCTV system up so as to view anywhere in the world,needs knowledge of port forwarding etc with your router.Will the seller help you with this?Methinks not.
