this sounds like brett scrivners GQ

i dont think it does much competition but apparently the motor isnt that fast but it still halls arse.

what its worth and what people are willing to spend are 2 different things.

i dont know if anyone would pay 20-30k for it but somone might i know its probably worth that but i wouldnt pay over 30 for it

I would like to see the $$ lifted to be more in line with what they are worth. I think the days of comp truck being worth squat are gone. I would say 25- 30k.

basically i think they are worth truck and parts only all labour counted as $0. so add it up, gq 7k, motor 5k, difflocks 1.5k, tyres/rims2k etc see what you come up with. when you build a truck you never count the labour i would cry if i did

cheers bru

Mr binskin sold his orange shorty ute fully kitted out for 25k. Another bloke that had binskins build him a dualcab fully comp ready GQ sold it for 25k. I saw that sweet looking ex 4wdspecialist shorty/ute/softop gold/black rb30 turbo (arrgghh -homer noises- drool) go for 20k on ebay..

I can say that the second one I mentioned owed the chappy well over 40 grand... and it was meticulously built and looked HORN...

IMHO around 25 k seems to be the GO for fully built comp rigs..

Thankyou for that, he was hoping for offers around 30K but I already thought that was too much, after all its just a GQ with some pretty stuff on/in it, I don't like the fact that its a 100% std engine and its running a blower without an intercooler, not the way to make stuff last in my book.

I think I'd pay 20-22K for it, but i doubt h'ed take that. See what happens.

$25-$30 k. it is a very cheap way to own a comp rig that you can go & race tomorrow. the stock engine with blower would be fine you dont need to much hp until you get all the winching and tech driving bits right ! i say go for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the truck is out of my price range.

See what the bank says about that.

I have seen "homeloan redraw racing", I like that.

he would have manure for brains to even consider it.

I just had a look and didn't find it, thanks anyway, helps to gauge the value of this other one.

i think bretts rig it is in a ready to race condition [big diff in $$$$$],just keep that in mind. the ute sounds ok too.

Yeah it sure looks RTR. I just watched OBC 05 again! On the vid they place it as 41st but I think it was really 17th or 18th Brett said.
