Had a week off from work and thought i would take my car to my father inlaws and get some of the rust removed. However once we started we saw that someone had been there before and there was a lot more hidden rust around the place. Infact the gutters on the drivers side had heaps of rust . Alot of this had started when the windscreen rubber had cracked and let water it.
So i made a quick decsion to patch it up and sell it. Now everycar that i have ever owned has cost me an absolute motza and i lose so many $1000's of dollars when i sell and im now not sure wether i should sell it.
For starters i think i overpayed when i bought it 10 months ago for $5000. Its a 1982 LWB MQ Patrol with basically not extra's at all but it had only 154k on the clock. Since then i have spent about $3000 on all types of stuff.
Bullbar, 4 spotlights, massive redarc 24v to 12v reducer and new batteries, awesome tint with graphics, mud tyres, waterpump and new radiator, extractors and exhaust system, snorkel, windscreen rubber, new front seats, endless air type compressor with air tank, body lift ETC
So as you can see there is a fair ammount of work done and im not sure wether it would be worth selling. I know most of you guys are over east and i can tell you now that they do sell for more over here but i do think that if i got $5500 or $6000 i would be lucky.
So that leaves the question what do i do??
I dont really wanna get rid of her but i also dont wanna see it rust to pieces and lose all the money i paid out in the original purchase.
