You seem to ignore the fact that I ordered from a couple different places and got refunded because they weren't available at the time, and that I was trying to find someone to teach me how to do body work for over a year. This is why I was under the impression you haven't actually read the whole...

You're a little late to the fight my friend. Read my previous post where I explain why the caliper hasn't been fixed. Read the whole thread first, then sling your dirt if you still feel so inclined. :banghead:

Also, don't buy the RV new, used ones should be a bargain in this economy. I've always liked the idea of having a year off of life and traveling the continent in a westfalia but life is moving too fast for me to even consider. Can't imagine being mobile my whole life though. Best of luck either...

I concur. BTW any pics of your caferacer if you happen to have one? I just got into bikes this year and love the cafe racer look. BTW what is POR 15?

You know that may not be a bad idea. Just need to find a place to keep it.

I'd absolutely love to do this myself, but my issue is finding a place to learn, and the other issue is a place to do it. I live in an apartment, and my Dad's garage houses his mustang and things he can't fit in his store, it is not a suitable place to fix a car. I have done amateur body work...

Well, if you're talking about the movie "2012" what happens is a film company attempts to capitalize off the current end of the world scare, and ends up making a crap movie. That's what happened. And will happen. The cycle repeats itself every time the world doesn't end.

Alright it's time to set some things straight. Since you're so fixated on the brake problem let me elaborate: The car started eating brakes in 2007, I thought it was a bad rotor so I replaced the pads and rotors. The problem came back in 2008 so I ordered new calipers from rockauto and then got...

The biggest problem with this plan is time. I have been working full time and putting myself through university, and frankly free time is not something I have. Between work, classes, and homework my life is pretty much 100% filled. If I had a house and a garage I might keep her in there and try...

The only thing keeping me from being "cut out to own a classic" is money and frankly that's a major part of it.

The thing is I took it to a few body shops (3 different ones) and another independent guy two years ago and they all quoted me roughly $7000 and this was before the water based paint laws. So $8500 for a guy who does top quality work (did vic's barracuda) is not out of line at all. Basically...

Spare is fine. Haven't looked at the floor so I can't comment on it. Rockers need work, bottom of the doors too, there is bubbling under the vinyl top and and the fenders could use some patching. Top of the wheels wells have through rust (visible under the hood) and this is including a full...

For some reason I read this as "the cutest baby squirrel". Either way though congratulations!

Yup, 225 /6. Here are pics from when my friend did a full detail job for my bithday back in June. Also should mention there are 2 project scamps for sale here, one for ~$1200 with the body work started, one for $2600 and it's a 1975. There are a few ragged parts cars for <$800 that are...

Background: In 2004 I bought a 1972 scamp with 31,000 kms on it (converted to km/h in 1974) off the original owner with a huge stack of documentation on the car. It had a little bubbling in the rear 1/4s but was otherwise in great shape. I drove the car throughout highschool, with barely...

I'm looking around for my first bike right now. Took an Xj750 Maxim around a back lane and scared the crap out of myself. Looking at smaller bikes now.

You should rename it to "Duran Duran Designs"

Wow, my car situation is pitiful compared to you guys: 1972 Scamp /6 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0T Had a '91 daytona, but it was a car I bought to flip.

That's sweet! I forgot those existed...

Replace the 4.7 with the bulletproof 4.0. Problem solved.

I had a different kind of luck today. Supposed to have an $800 surcharge on my license b/c of 3 at fault accidents in 3 years, but they switched the way our licenses work this year so we don't have surcharges anymore which means my license was only $55 and because I have no moving violations...

I prefer local classifieds, but they're a lot less reliable/professional. Kijiji, Craigslist, Buysell, Usedwinnipeg (or usedwhereveryoulive). Autotrader for cars too. On that note, someone please buy my daytona!

I've had three people say they'd send me headers on here, and when it came down to actually doing it they all stopped responding. I had to finally go on ebay to buy some. Same thing is happening with hood scoops too. I think we need some sort of a trader rating system.

I'm sorry for not knowing, but what exactly are the services you offer?

You're crazy, in the best way possible.

Don't worry, it'll buff out

Haha, I know Vic, and I also know his time is being pulled in more different directions than a person should have to deal with. He's helped me out numerous times and I can't thank him enough, but I was hoping to find something I can do a little more often.

When does the auction end?

I was doing weekends at partsource just for fun but found I wasn't learning a lot (besides that winnipeggers are cheap buggers). I work M-F as well as being in university so I really only have free time on weekends, and why not put it to good use? I can tell you this, if I came into a large sum...

Pretty straight forward here, I want to learn how to do mechanical work. I'm 21 and live in Winnipeg. My Dad was never really into fixing cars he prefers to just drive them especially since, as an entrepreneur, free time isn't something he has a lot of, and I personally have no place to fiddle...
