Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Thought I would quickly update the cost of fetching it so far.

I had agreed to pay Fil’s diesel in the Sprinter van for fetching the car in Scotland.

But his and everyone else involved’ s contribution is priceless and most people really don’t get it fully.

I also offered to pay for sausage rolls on the trip, he declined as they had a fridge full of food in the camper van.

Fil took a load of used double glazed windows and a Honda CG125 in a box up.

Bike was sold for £60.00 to a friend, cash into kitty.

Trip was 1074.7 miles, door to door
Fuel total £247.18
Making it 23p per mile
Subtracting £60.00,from the bike. That I had paid for 5 years ago.
Left £187.18 to pay

Car was £350.00 with so much work to do, and a lot more missing than just engine and transmission.

RX8 seats,,still to be made to fit £70.00 thanks to Bill.

Wheel nuts £8.00

Two tyres on the alloys who knows, I will find out later.

This will cost a fair amount to get to MOT level, and on the road safely, but hopefully it will be fun nd teach me more new,stuff.


Priceless.


Oh, and you guys get to laugh at me.


Woke to this today.


Not done a whole lot yet, been helping Tom the lodger sort stuff out.
