Extreme have their own forum now...I suppose that's the reason why we have not got any updates on the van-quash and gull-air-do. Any one else have any updates on either of this 8th and 9th wonder of the world?  |

Extreme Aston Martin Vanquish
Topic started 01 Decemeber 2006
It'll be the 2 year anniversery in 4 months!
In the 2 years since the topic was posted, the vanquish has dropped from £65,000 (the cheapest at the time), to £49,995 (the cheapest on Autotrader currently).
(just whilst im on the topic... the 360 was £60k in 2006 and now £40k!)
How many of you have been waiting since 2006???
A 360 at 40K is cheap compared to its new price & so is 49995 for the vanquish. It still wont make a difference to me, I can just about stretch to 20K for a second car so double the price at 40k for an original, although a bargain is never going to be an option. 20K may not seem much extra for the real thing but for me it is my whole budget (that is already a stretch) all over again! |

Drew, very true. 15-18k max for what esentially is a toy for the week ends. 50k just doesnt justify it what with the running costs too. Also if you have a family to take care of, justifying each penny on the car is hard. I always tell my wife "think of the looks you'll have when YOU'LL be driving it" TBO, When she was driving my Mitsu GTO TT it was one hell of a turn on whatching all the guys staring in admiration  wishing they could have such a car. But thats another story . Have you still got your GTO? Ive had mine for 7 years now. |

sold it for a deposit on the house were currently living in. Had it for 6 years, mk2 twin turbo. Polished plenium, all the samco hozes, etc etc. you know the score. Did the meets and shows. Its a shame Mitsubish did not do a replacement like Nissan with the Skyline. Probably a £ 60k car. this was unveiled at the Detroit Motorshow in January this year I think. Its Mitsubishi's concept of the new GTO / Eclipse  Nice or what. |

How difficult would it be to completely strip down a car leaving only the tub?
I mean, entire bodywork, panels, wheels, doors, lights, exhaust, manifold, gearbox, engine, dash, seats, steering wheel, etc etc etc.
And then rebuilding the entire car on a new tub, i.e a donor car.
Surely this the rebuild would be no different to assembling a kit (like extreme's) on a donor car?
Complications?

It would not be possible unless the body unbolted direct from chassis and suspension was on its own subframe, only car I can think of is the old VW beetle where you can do this. |

I would only get 4k for it now if Im lucky. |
