Hi,

I have a MY01 bugeye which needs a rebuild?? (crank gone) and I want to get it back on the road asap.

Is there anybody who does home repair or can get my Scooby in and give me a rough price for fixing it?

Got another job and hate the fact my pregnant wife has to use public transport as it's not an option where I work

Have been told 450ish for a regrind?

I'm just by the Ikea on J9 of M6.

Any help appreciated

thanks guys

Give Mark @ Thwaites Developments a call, he's a clever bloke and their prices are very reasonable.

Getting quotes in the region of £1500+ so far and really can't justify that with a nipper on the way in Nov!! It's all happening and I can't help but think I should've got this sorted earlier in the year! :-(

maybe a second hand ebgine to drop in from a crashed wrx? could be cheaper if your just wanting a standard car and not a fancy build.

SinghSuperStud

iTrader: (2)

Yep - that may be an option I anybody can supply and/or fit?

The companies I've called above only work with OEM stuff so I can't see them touching it :-(

So you have not rung Mark at Thwaites then.

or polepostion?

they will fit your engine if you take one to them or take out any (within reason) request you may have.

can get a second hand 2.0 for around 3-800 depending on your budget few more hundred to fit it

or get a 2.0 bottom end fit your heads any your away to go mate if money is seriosuly tight

I've rung Mark and he was very helpful - brought the price down to about £1200'ish which is definately better

Poleposition didn't mention the engine change as a potential idea.

I would need help sourcing an engine as I am not very technical when it comes to cars (telecoms and IT is more my field!). Once I've got an engine I guess anybody can fit or would it be somebody specialist?

Cheers for all the help guys

whats your budget mate you max budget?

SinghSuperStud

iTrader: (2)

Can run to 700'ish - i know that's sod all but if it's more then I would have to just hold fire or or give the person an IOU for the difference and pay the remainder within a few weeks if poss

Sorn the Scoob, buy a little runaround for £500 for a few months, have the nipper.

Then save up for a proper rebuild/repair rather than offering a few quid to any potential spanner monkey. As for re-grinding a Scoob crank....

Good luck buddy

You have a valid point there mate but then I can't help but think I need to get the Scooby back on the road. It's not that I can't afford it - it's that I can't afford to pay in one go as I am contracted :-(

Well I can't help thinking that you will end up getting a quick bodge fix which will come to bite you in the **** in the future. Apologies for sounding blunt but it's how it comes across.

What model is it? Bugeye WRX?

SinghSuperStud

iTrader: (2)

Not sounding blunt mate - agree with what you say.

Yep - completely standard UK WRX bugeye
