Quick repair guesstimate....
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2020 7:50 pm
I'm looking at a Plus 2 that has some "issues". Can anyone give a quick guess of what it would cost to:
1. Overhaul tacho and speedo. (Tach could be wiring issue, but let's plan for the worst)
2. Power window motor.
3. Fuel pump
4. Motor mounts
5. Headlight actuators (probably vacuum problem, but ??)
6. Tie rods.
7. Possible carb rebuild (Stromberg)
The biggest issue is that I don't readily have any idea of parts prices or availability. I can research this, but I'm hoping those who have done some of these things can give a quick guess and save a bit of time. I'd like to get back to the seller soon - I think the price will need to be adjusted!
The big items seem OK. Meaning body, frame, motor, gearbox. But it looks like a car that could nickel and dime to death. (err, shillings and crowns??)

Thanks,
Hans.
