I'm done with the donor. Getting the metal recyclers to take what's left next week

Rob, hows the wife handling all the car parts?

Also, is it worth while taking the fuel tank?

brian · « **Reply #204 on:** October 04, 2015, 11:27:41 am »

That was quick

RobClubley · « **Reply #205 on:** October 04, 2015, 11:32:30 am »

As long as the parts stay in the garage the wife is content.
The fuel tank is in great condition but looks a different size to the quattro one.
So I thought I'd just leave it there

I'm sick of looking at it. It's not pretty and also I feel guilty for stripping a 29 year old Audi coupe.

A good restoration job for someone

Wher was the mower hidden in it ?

Metal recyclers should be collecting the shell tomorrow. Need to get the garage sorted out so the Skoda can go back in there for a while.

Also I bought a pack of Dynamat in the 25% off sale at Repco

Com'on, you know you need them.
Can the wife work a second job?

I doubt she'd go for that. I accept donations

Start up one of those fund me pages. That's how people fund their builds these days isn't it?

I know you're not serious - but I don't know how people can do that - it seems to be a symptom of the latest generation - the attitude that the world somehow owes you the things you want instead of you having to work for them.

Same. It came up recently on another forum I'm on where a guy was asking if anyone would like to help his friend pay for his car that was uninsured and caught fire due to badly done electrics. Granted I've driven with no insurance but you can't cry about it and expect others to fix it when things like that happen. No morals these days.

If you offer something in return, then that makes it ok.

i.e.
- for $25 I will send you a hi-res photo of the finished car
- for $50 I will take you for spin around Welly

etc. etc.

RobClubley · « **Reply #217 on:** October 06, 2015, 10:37:22 am »

When it's on the road I might have to make a choice between the quattro and the Skoda

Says it all really..............absolutely no value for money and only a halfwit would contribute (probably why it happens)

It's basically begging for money.
