So it breaks down like this:
You've got a sprinter with a 4age, upgraded brakes and suspension. It's been in a few bingles, has rust in the guards, the fuel tank mounts, and a few other places on the chassis/panels, and is a little bit 'crabby/shaky'.
You buy a sprinter 'wreck' with the intention of stripping it down to a bare chassis and selling it off for scrap or to someone who wants to build it up. after stripping it you realise that this shell is straight as they come, and has been kept in a desert, so there is next to no rust. The shell is not licenced, and is painted a disgusting mint green colour. You do not have much money.
Do you:
a) cry in your sleep about seeing the best sprinter shell you've ever seen go to some other monkey, or to a scrap metal merchant...
b) devote a long weekend and several cartons of beer to transferring the entire contents/trim/mechanicals of your car into the other shell, and try to get it relicenced at the slight risk of ending up with no licenced car, and sell off your original shell as a 'licenced rolling shell'.
c) save the shell until you can afford to build more parts from another source into it, and then sell off your current car as a whole...
how long do you guys think it would take to move all the shit from one shell to another? worth the effort to have a 'straight and rust free shell'?
zack: if you read this, i'm pretty sure you're thinking the same thing as me about this shell. i'm sure we'll discuss this tonight.
