DIY, maybe £1k?

I don't want to #### on your parade, but remember this is a public forum. Mr plod and Mr insurance company (amongst other) pay people to look at fora like this for i nteresting posts and pictures. A picture of a speedo taken at 100kmh by the driver (even if it wasn't you) will attract their attention. I'd remove that particular one if I were you.

Not being a smart arse, I'm just pointing something out. I'll delete this post once you've read it.

But that's only 62 mph. Am I missing something?

You give me 2k plus your truck, in about four weeks I'll give you your truck back, cleaned inside and out, looking, sounding and performing better than ever, plus a boot full of bits (your old engine/transmission +Lexus bits and bobs, window motors etc) you could sell to get a few hundred quid back, plus whatever I can get for the Lexus shell.

That's a great deal. People pay a bag of sand just to sort out their head problems.

[steve s]

a very good deal

a very good deal

It is, he may get my old 2.4 at some point.

[hiroler]

the 2.4 does not do more much than 70 so no danger there!!

A very good price for top quality work carried out by someone with a meticulous nature who has done the job before so already knows the potential snags that may crop up.

I think they do, but mine is broken so won't do anything.

[BUSHWHACKER]

N.B. That price is assuming I can pick up a Lexus for £600 or less.
You have a 2" bodylift already fitted.
What type of exhaust system you want, built by me or professional stainless system.

Thanks Trev, cheque sent to usual address?

Hang on Vince... £2k INCLUDES the Lexus?! Does that include all the fancy stuff you put on yours such as fan, remote oil filter etc, or is that extra?

Thats all included.
I think of them more as necessities rather than fancy though.
