I did some engine liberating this weekend it was cool to see the Triumph 1300cc gas engine next to the Kubota 482cc diesel for comparison I bought the Triumph for some of the suspension and steering parts. I figured I could sell off the remaining parts and get all the ones I need for free.

Cost breakdown so far.

Triumph = $350 + $50 tow = Total cost $400

I have sold:
1. Front and Rear chrome Bumpers + gas tank lid + rear trunk + rag top frame = $125
2. Wheels are spoken for = $100 for set
3. Body shell is spoken for = $100
4. Differential is spoken for = $100
5. Engine is spoken for = $100

Need to sale:
1. Diveshaft = $25
2. Transmission = $100
3. Bonnet = $150
4. Doors = $150 for set

Once I have sold everything off I will have earned a Total Profit of $550 and got all my parts I needed for free. Not to bad in fact I might have to do a few more of these to help finance my crazy projects LOL
