Admin Vista Posted August 10, 2011 Admin Report Posted August 10, 2011 Madness indeed but I wish I could get my new copper lines looking that neat!

I was thinking the same probably nearer 200K Stuffs only worth what your willing to pay for it, an somewhere theres some daft bufty boy who will pay that so prices contiue to go up! Escorts are no longer a working mans classic, and thats really sad
aden Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 what a joke, sad thing is some mug will probably pay that, im all for making a few quid and all that but at least dick turpin wore a mask
Savvi Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 I agree it does sounds steep, think i was told it takes a good bit of time to make and it's the original materials, not your £14 quid copper pipe and a few minutes bending and flarring. As said think these are aimed at the concours type cars that fetch stupid money when finshed. I dont think his restro work is that bad on price, not sure if he's on here but this is one he done a while back from another forum http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread. ... orth-build
aden Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 i know but seriously mate? they are definately of a high standard i agree and the attention to detail and all that is spot on, but im sorry no way are they worth that kind of money
Savvi Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 We'll all be watching them now to see if they sell Might also be a way of advertising without paying fees etc ? Not sure if that's the case, but i know some peeps do that !!!
