[Mark Blanchard]

What a plonker.

erm what?? again this is another thread of..well what? If your paying silly labour rates then why don't you learn to do it yourself? At the end of the day an Esprit is held together with nuts and bolts like any other car,. it is NOT a hard car to work on..if you've got an ounce of sense and capability that is..I cant understand what your opinion of the Esprit being a money pit is..its unfounded. yes there are those that have been previously neglected but generally the Esprit when correctly looked after is just as reliable as any other daily runner. I have spent (like many other owners) thousands in maintenance, modification, etc and have a perfectly reliable example of the Esprit that I have no issues in taking (as I did last year) to Monaco for example...nearly 3000 miles round trip

 

So ignoring the paint job, this mismatched interior and having replaced any standard items..what actually have you done with yours that would hold it above the average example? Im struggling to understand that you have done anything more than do a rolling renovation of what could have been a great car. If your bent over by your mechanic then that would explain the expense...but I don't get what you've gained? you've replaced items after an engine bearing failure( im guessing that's what a '30k spun bearing' is) and now you value yours at whatever. well if it was kept to standard and not fannied around with I would expect it to actually be worth more.and probably more desirable. that next youll be claiming 500bhp and a 0-60 of veryon territory ....

Thank you .

[dodge1979]

ahh.. crazy high. 'special'...yes. I genuinely wont be playing with myself over a video of ur car. sorry. I think things are being fractured at the moment over several threads but with the same theme. but with regards labour costs it doesn't surprise me that theyre high over there in usa. that's not the issue. you have to pay what you pay I guess. but its more the vague what you've done that I think people want to know on..like I asked before.what actually have you done..

You read all the threads on these forums, people genuinely neededing some help to keep their beloved car on the road, some very helpful people offering offering support and advice to help solve their problems.

Why do some insist on lowering the tone?

[Karlen1129]

Chill out all love here we all just having fun

No need for the obscenities in a public forum though.
