Got it back on the road again and on the test drive the clutch cable snapped :(

What do you think my cars worth if i sell it fixed? Dont want to sell it unless i have to but im getting my sierra back on the road and money could get tight :(

Rite the cars had a tough year with all the problms i had building it and quite a few drift days but it preformed really well abart from a few things that couldnt be helped so im quite happy. Gonna give it abit of a freshen up over winter, things like get it jiged up to check the chassis is perfectly straight (if anyone hase one i can use let me know), a few bushes, get suspension rebuilt, repair exhaust, abit of welding etc, and i would like to have a play about with shorter steering knuckles for faster lock, not 100% needed but it would really help.

Going to fix my clutch cable soon so will get some pics of how she sits looking sorry for itself atm,

And like i say if anyone has a jig i could use, or if anyone could check my chassis is all straight for me that woukd be great, obvs beer tokens etc offered


Cheers

not been on here much lately as ive been mad busy, so the winter tidy up aint exactly gone to plan as ive had almost zero time to work on the car. so due to lack of time the car will be going up to dai soon for him to work his magic on my attempt at wireing and some engine mounts, and maybe while its up there a look at the steering, and maybe a little trick bit, and hopefully then i shall get it back do a few bits and tidy some bits up and then get out and enjoy it again, and if all goes well this year then it should be getting reshelled next year and and looked after


cheers

Think so mate, depending on what comes up at the time but hopefully a 3 door or a saloon, still loads of good times to come as it is though :D

anyone know what size the cooler needs to be for a 360? im told a frontera one fits but i want the size so i can order a ally one, that's gonna be my next thing when dai has worked his magic with a few bits, one im gonna keep quite for the moment untill i decide if i like it when im driveing.

actully managed to get some time over the weekend so gonna try and do a few bits on the trusty sierra after i help my mate fix the prop on his 328


cheers
