rallyfever Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Hi All, As you all know I am looking for another car, when you look as much as I do for the perfect example you sometimes come across cars that you wish you hadn't, or wish you had but had a slightly bigger budget for your purchase. Have a look at this link and have a wee look at the detailed build. Very interesting thread and such a stunning job in my mind. After you see the end product have a wee shifty though the guys build thread where is says Hawkeye WRC replica. He is asking £13,000 for it, not sure it's worth that much - but what a looker. PIC WARNING - LOOKING AT THESE PICS MAY CAUSE DROOL!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.com/trade-sale-cars-3...rc-replica.html

rallyfever Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Looks great but about 5k overpriced. Whats the wing brace's for? Hi Col, Not really sure what it's for, I presume to reduce flex from the front end - bit overkill if you ask me, but everyone to their own I suppose. Cheers Gary

ANDYJDMSTI Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 2001 and a hawkeye??..............that dont add up!
scoobykev Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 2001 and a hawkeye??..............that dont add up! Exactly, why not start with a hawkeye as the base car instead of butchering a bugeye
StewartyBoy Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Hmm looks good, but not thanks. Retro fit hawkeye parts then pay 5k over the odds for a 2001!?
rallyfever Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 2001 and a hawkeye??..............that dont add up! It is a converted bugeye, if you look through the detail it shows on one of the pics. Chees Gary
oobster Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Exactly, why not start with a hawkeye as the base car instead of butchering a bugeye Maybe the damage that caused it to be a Cat D was mostly front end, so why not if you have to buy wings, bumper, bonnets, lights etc anyway?
thewelsho Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 2001 and a hawkeye??..............that dont add up! thats what I was thinking!
thewelsho Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) It is a converted bugeye, if you look through the detail it shows on one of the pics.Chees Gary Doh! Next time, read the whole thread! 13K hmmmm, I should be able to get that for a well-sorted actual Hawkeye... Edited September 15, 2009 by TheWelsho
Joe G Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I know there has been a lot of time, cash and work put into this car but IMO its well over priced!
wulsey Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 been there Barry always need a scoob in the stable mate, nothing else compares, other cars are nice & a lot are better build quality but you'll miss the scoob theres some crackers for sale just now I know what your saying Bobby as im on piston heads every night, but i'll need to shift the Audi before i get back into the fold.
wulsey Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 To make the best of a situation is to have a run about and a mad modded scooby I have a mk4 golf TDI as a run about so just need to get myself a mad modded scooby again.
thewelsho Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 To make the best of a situation is to have a run about and a mad modded scooby But then you pay tax, insurance and repairs on that which then adds to one's overall motoring costs... Plus, it means you get to drive the Scooby less. Therefore, you put out more cash but drive the car less. That doesn't make sense to me. The best situation is for the other half to have a decent motor that can be used on joint trips and general running around. Since the other half needs the car, tax insurance etc. is already laid out on it, so there is no extra outlay and savings are made on fuel costs
gus the bus Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 To make the best of a situation is to have a run about Aye, like another subaru Yeah canny live without them, Scooby number 11
Maxxed_Ross Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 The chassis work on that is stunning.... need to stop looking at the pics because all that orange is giving me ideas lol
