#1 quick question (possibly)
Posted: Mon Aug 23, 2010 8:59 pm
quick question, ive 2 options with my 401 at the moment, with the house move imminent ive been told i need to pare down the equipment i have. in truth there is alot of it and most isnt used.
the 401 looks like it'll sadly (for me) be up for sale shortly but before any decision is made on its future, i was wondering if its worth 'doing up'.
mechanically its pretty sorted but cosmetically its abit of a shambles. the motor could do with a strip and relube which i'll do either way when the time is available. but its the cosmetics that bother. i'd like to get the good money for it if i have to sell so id like opinions on the way to go.
is it worth completely stripping it down and rebuilding it, respraying the main chassis and putting it in a ply plinth or suchlike, or am i not likely to see a return on my investment of time.
if i was to respray is it worth trying to match the colour, or again is it not likely to add any value. id do it gloss black if this was not detrimental to the value.
i know these are pretty open questions, but id rather have an opinion other than mine if it does end up up for sale.
cheers for any input
