There is alot of history that the insurance people know about, it was a Cat D salvage vehicle when we bought it but the guys that jigged it said it was straight, but if it turns out that it isnt we shall be sueing them :(

claim insurance then buy it back??

Yeah if it turns out to be totally unsafe to drive it will more than likely become a trailered vehicle :(

:!:!:! HOLY SHIT!! Hope his cars ok, that'd be really gay if its knackered. Would he sell it to some unsuspecting wanker or use it for a show car only??

There has been a major blow to Tim's car, its being booked in with specialists first cos there is a good chance the chassis is fucked!!


I reckon people who want door builds and see the quality would pay :P

twas a joke, u reckon people would pay then?? cos they pretty expensive, but less than you'd pay at a shop.

is tim's car at the juice shop now?

Interesting :P i think you should put those quotes in the classifieds section to see what kinda response you get.

I would like to see the work first :P hehe

ok, to take any single/size woofer up to 17cm and tweeter, in bottom part - £150

Same, but for just top part - £200

Whole thing - £250

add £50 for a set of 3-ways

:P :lol:

That all depends, you would have to give me a range of options and prices ;)

just top part, or bottom, or a whole thing like Claires??

Id have em sprayed up the same colour as me car when i get the paint job. Unfinished (not sprayed or covered) id be very willing to pay £150 - £175

really tho?? honestly?? once ive finished these, i may look into knockong some up, or selling these :boggle: i dunno. Would be quite good idea tho, making and selling builds, how much u reckon they'd be worth though? cos people would see them as second hand and worth not a lot. For a proper set of builds, most ICE places would charge £200 upwards. That's when they're done properly with fibreglass and alcantara etc. not cut about expanding foam with some box carpet liberally glued over it!!

Corb, if you do door builds id be much more interested in buying them than boot builds :P

i would do something like that, but since i dont own the car i have to go through me old man :( so im screwed. to be honest, i might sell em to my bro, he said he would give me the full wack for em...then ill just go get sum that actually fit :)

Mine didnt fit through the hole in the door, so im doing some long awaited and much needed door builds :D Done some more today, but the damn resin is taking so long to dry, ive put them in a garage with an electric fan heater blowing over them.

well i did post them up for sale, then my bro came around and we tried them in his and they fit no probs, so it looks like he might get them.
make hole in door bigger...yea i would like to have done that, but dad is a grumpy git and sad "next time get ones that fit the car"...the usual B/S.
Although ill look into the astra spacers :)
cheers mate :thumbs:
Dom

You could make the hole in the door bigger easy, and you could get astra van spacers to help you out

alright never mind...the magnet doesnt go through the hole in the door let alone fit...so there gonna get put up for sale...:( ...i could almost cry :(

hi all,
just took off the passengers door panel and took out the speaker only to find that my phoenix gold R6.5's are too deep :mad:. There about 3/4" too deep, and that with the adaptor fitted (which i thought would be as deep as the old one, but isnt byabout 1/2"). OK, so what can i do?? I cant build a door pod or anything, so thats outta the question. I need it to butt up to the grill and that might clear it. Although one idea is to stop the window going down as far...but what determins how far the window goes down? Is it a switch or what?
I should have measured it all up before hand, rather than taking someone else advise that they fitted :( oh wells...i might have a set of R6.5's for sale if i dont get them fitted.

Dom

p.s - please help, my old man is doing a nut :(

edit: for future reference, 2" is the about the max depth of any front speaker than can be fitted in a corsa B with the grill on.
