kimbo305 posted:Just talking out loud and orienting himself to the age, I think. I haven't decided if it's rude to ask someone if their car is a replica or kit. I mean, personally, I wouldn't be terribly upset over some one asking if its a kit, because either A: It was a kit that was done really really well or B:A Ferrari isn't exactly an every day car, so people just naturally assume its a Fiero. I just assume all Shelby Cobras on the street are kits, because the only real one I have ever seen was in a Concurs de' Elegance show parked along with several other rare/one of cars.

Depends on the region. I lived in a city that was hellbent on screwing and gluing anything tacky to their cars. I actually counted at least 4 kit cars in various states of being finished in the year I lived there.

kimbo305 posted:That's the big question -- am I losing more money by doing the big service and selling it as ready to drive? Or should I try to discount it and not bother? I think your logic is correct. Its like the current Porsche 911 craze, its sending buyers down market to the 914 (and to an extent - 944), because lately 914 prices have started shooting up higher than what is necessary. Though I think Boxster prices still have yet to bottom out, but will reverse in the next 5 years after the 944's start going for silly money. At least the 924 will always be cheap because no one wants them

"Vintage" We aren't talking about enthusiasts, we are talking about idiots. Because no radiator.

Geirskogul posted:But again, it's a 914 . I watched the Wheeler Dealer episode on the 914 and nobody is that crazy, right? It has a VW bus engine. The trend in pricing proves otherwise. I know, none of us would touch one, but that doesn't mean people aren't snatching them up.

How many specialized tools does it take to do a cam belt change on your car?

meatpimp posted:All of them, probably. I am sure VAG makes tools for cars they don't even make - its that specialized.

I just came here to post this exact same thing. gently caress those plugs. And obviously we see where the Italians learn how to make cars catch fire
