*diamond Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Posted June 1, 2006 I'm stressin coz my rego sorta runs out tomorrow! (yea yea i shud of sort it out earlier but I'm a busy gal!!! ) so shud i just bog it 4 rego... then search for a good price?! Quote
*diamond Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Posted June 1, 2006 Get another quote IMHO. Surely there's cheaper than that IMHO?? Quote
Tiger Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 If you are 100% keen on keeping the beast... go for it. But if you think you will part with it after the rego expires next year... then just grab some bog, go spastic with it, rego it, and run it through the depths of hell and back :S IMHO= In My Honest Opinion Sorry :P excessive forum time has that effect on you! hahaha Quote
*diamond Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Posted June 1, 2006 yea... well this guy is looking at it ova the weekend n he said he can do it like in his spare time 4 cash sorta thing!! so there may b sum hope 4 my lil green machine Quote
JiP Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 i may as well bog it up get it rego'd for another yr n just run it into the ground! Don't run her into the ground!! :P That car has great potential. I'm not usually one to go for square headlight KE55's but i'm really likeing ur car. Do a rough patch to get it past rego then in the next year try to repair it slowly. If u can get another KE55 coupe for cheap, do it and try to repair the damage on ur car properly. Jon. Quote
Felix Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 bodge it up, and keep an eye out for a granny spec country car if you are sold on that model. Quote
Dan Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 What Felix said. I don't think its worth more than having 800 odd bucks invested in it (panel wise). Thats alot of rust for a coupe, generally. They don't tend to rust up so high in the quarter like the sedans, generally they rust lower down in the sills (a bit like yours). Has the car had a respray before? I think it might have had a dodgy spray over job over the rust, i'm sorry to say. Sure, theres potential for the car. If your attached to it, its a nice car, could use a bit of panel work, but hell, if its not sentimental, get another coupe to start off with, it will work out cheaper in the end. Dan says: Dodgy it up, bog and chicken wire, sell it to some unsuspecting fool, buy another one :P Have a nice day :S Dan. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Dan shhh... My coupe has rust in exactly the same spots as hers does... Quote

Rolla__Boy Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 does it? yay that makes me feel a bit betta! :faq: Yeah, I have had my car for 8 years now, and I lived on the coast for 2 years, a year ago...and now it's FULL of rust :D I am particularly attached to that particular car, so I am pulling it off the road soon to fix all the rust properly and paint it again.

Guest Brad Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 IMHO, My old man uses those fibreglass kits, just ram fibreglass down them holes cover it all up, sand it back, then spray it again. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 The rust needs to be cut away if she wants to keep the car for a long time....Otherwise it will just keep coming back through. Quote
