Anyone know the wherabouts of this MX-3 I used to own?
-
I used to own it and would like to again.
Let me know if you have any leads….
-
Isn't that Roadkillers old one?
-
It was for sale on ebay about 2-3 weeks ago.
-
yeah was put in the for sale section admin
-
iirc it didnt reach the reserve so should still be available
-
Yes it was Roadkillers, then it changed hands a couple of times before I bought it.
I want some bits and bobs off it if I can get it at the right price.
How much did it bid up to?
Anyone got the link saved in their ebay ended listings etc? so I can contact the seller outside of ebay?
-
Nah, I had a look in the completed listing but its not there no more, it was in the spotted section I believe but that got emptied recently.
-
it was only on about 2 weeks ago again
-
can't find it anywhere…
somebody pm me if you see it again.
-
Will do, I am sure it didnt sell last time
-

It did come down to £1000 at almost the end :cheers:
-
Ok last time I bought it for £600 and I wouldn't be wanting to pay much more than that for it anyway as I only want to part it out and keep a few bits anyway.
-
I know I nearly got that for £550 when I saw that advertised :x
-
I wanted it for the smoothed doors and boot and bonnet was gonna part out the rest.

Don't it be cheaper to do yourself, or is time the factor?
-
A couple of reasons really.
If I got the car at what I wanted to pay i'd keep the parts I wanted and part it out for more than I paid, so yes it would be cheaper than doing myself. But it would take longer.
I used to borrow the TIG and MIG welders from the garage I worked in, but I moved to somerset so no can do anymore.
The place i'm renting now is part of a 17th century manor house, and I think it would probably finish off all the dodgy electrics if I tried plugging in a MIG welder.
After my accident I find welding really hurts my head, can't explain it but it does. Triggers a migrane, though it is getting better so I'll be back welding one day.
-
Do they have to be welded flush then could you not use a chemical metal epoxy resin with a piece of alu/mild steel on the back then fill over the top?!
-
Welding is easier to get a good result.
You basically want to end up with as little filler as possible.
If you fill it, it will either shrink or move eventually and a year down the line it will be obvious.
Just weld it flush one spot at a time or you will warp it with too much heat, then grind all the welds flat so you can't tell it was ever there, then corse fill it, sand flat, then fine fill it, sand flat, then etch primer inside and out, then sand outside flat and repeat fine filler if needed, then primer again, then oxide primer on inside, then decent 2 pack paint on the inside at least 2 coats with a day to dry for each. Then it on to whatever finish your using.
Its the right way to do it if you want it to last, if your going to go through the hassle of painting it properly why scimp on a couple days work.

Sounds good they do look great must admit.
