Bros I can assure u That no one is mocking u. we r all analysing the feasibility of ur project!

that voice in ur head concurring to the mechanic's preaching that the vehicle can be restored needs to be authenticated.
mech is preaching to empower his pocket and that voice in ur head is trying to lead u I to an unplanned and unpleasant journey.

except ur definition of restoration is different from mine then I think u should sit down and think this through.

consider the pros and cons. if u sell as is u would make more than the 50k u posted earlier and most importantly have peace of mind (nothing compares to that) now if u start fixing can u cough out about 500k to RESTORE ur vehicle and if u decide to cut corners and mech says "this one no burn finish, make we fix am back" will u have peace of mind while driving said vehicle? wen u have thoroughly thought these through u can come to a conclusion on ur own.


my two cents? sell "as is"
... remember vehicle in question is a vw known extensively for it's unique electrical palava wen abused.

Not being burnt to ashes doesn't mean their structural integrity has not been compromised.

dancok:

dancok:

Your mind is playing tricks on you. You're skeptic about the restoration that's why you think that man is mocking you.

It is understandable if a child is scared of the dark. But the real tragedy comes when an adult is scared of the Light


This gurus gave you a list of things that needs to be changed from the picture you posted. And yoh think they are exagerating claiming Mr Know all.
You opened this thread to seek for advice if this project is Reasonable or not.
Your mechanic is pushing you into a pit. Because he knows when you start spending money, there is no turning back, Watch out for series of phone calls " Oga e be like say this part no good , we need to buy another one. That's how you'd spend till your nose bleeds "

ozoneymcm:

You bought a car for 1.2m and didn't insure it. Someone pls gimme that okocha,2baba and kanu picture

ozoneymcm:

The Op alongside his mechanic have a plan B that everybody is not thinking about which is to sell to an unfortunate person when wahala starts rather than selling as scrap. I pity that person sha

The professionals in the field have advised u, but stubbornness won't let u heed to sound counsel. It's better to count ur losses and move on rather than get stuck in something dat will deplete the rest funds u have.
Like I said, count ur losses and move on. U can still gather some funds when u pieces to scrap. Sell it to mgbuka people starting with the windshield, front n back, Windows, tires, dashboard, seats, doors, exhaust etc I bet u can gather upto 200k from this.
Don't get burnt trying to salvage this engine, it can never, I repeat, it can never get back to factory spec, even if na GAZZUZZ work am.
A word is enough for the wise.

I don't know why I find this amusing, though 'demeaning' . . . but seriously, you don't need this. If you are not comfortable with their suggestions, please ignore and follow your mind, majority could be wrong. Afterall, you don't need to please anyone, it is your money, your car. Abeg, carry on and prove them wrong.
