My Indigo Blue Throttle Bodied 106 Rallye
Discussion
Thanks Dom.
It would certainly pain me to sell her, but at the moment and for the foreseeable future I cannot see myself having the time and money to invest in it. If nobody makes a sensible offer I will keep it and just old onto it until I get the time to complete it, like I said I am more testing the water than anything but you never know.

Sorry to hear your thinking of selling pal, i've enjoyed watching this being built. And in the interim even started my own 106 Project with this....

However, after starting to strip it down i've found the shell has quite a bit of rot to it

And im still unsure what to do with it, don't know weather to repair it or find another shell. I was supposed to go view a Bianca White S2 Rallye last night but it had sold the day before. Let me know a ball park figure you'd be looking at for yours.

Rust and rot is never good on a 106! Mine was full bare metal resprayed and all that dealt with thankfully so it's immaculate.
Re: Price, I have received a lot of enquires but mostly with unrealistic expectations. To give you an idea the car owes me around 20k upwards, so I would be looking to recover between 10-15. I wouldn't sell it for any less. When you look at what you have to spend to achieve similar fun/power, it's caterham or westfield or lotus which are priced in that region therefore it's about right. Or at least it's what it's worth to me should I say. I don't actually want to sell it but storage and time are an issue so if I were to receive a sensible offer I would sell it. We will see what happens. In an ideal world I will find a house with a garage and I can hold onto it.

Do you mind me asking what you paid (can be a rough number) for the full, bare metal respray? I am looking at having that done for my XSi project.Re: Price, I have received a lot of enquires but mostly with unrealistic expectations.

I don't want to dampen your spirits but I am not sure I can see you recovering 5-figures for your car, looking at the cost of other modified 106s, immaculate Rallyes, and 106 race cars (and even my own projected costs for my XSi).
However, to spin that positively; it means you can keep it and reap the benefits as I am sure it is easily as much fun as anything else on the road, so represents good value in the spec that you chose to build it!

Tell me about it, it was bought with the intention of a few relatively simple mechanical jobs and it would be good to go, as soon as I started pulling it apart that soon went out the window. I'll have to have a good think and see what the bank says, I'm probably going to end up spending something similar to what you'd want building mine the way it's going.

But hopefully you find somewhere suitable to keep hold of yours so it forces me to save mine and I don't commit sin in sending another one to the scrapyard in the sky. There getting very hard to get hold of these days.

Any updates OP? Looks like you've had it for sale a while
Hi all, I sold it to chap in Yorkshire, very sad i was but it's gone to a great home and he is finishing it off. It's been mapped already and I think Andy (new owner) has done more work since but i'm not sure that he's online much.I was genuinely gutted to lose this car but I thought long and hard before selling and decided it was for the best. It's going to get used and still nurtured by the new owner so I figure that I did the right thing. It sounds just insane!

Hi Track_Cit,
Do you still have the pics of your old Saxo? They seem to have disappeared:
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
That was my favourite thread and inspired me on some of my projects!
Thanks
