I gots a new bullbar!

Random181 · 19-06-2007, 22:40

So I saw a bullbar on eBay, starting price of $20. Looked at it, auction was pretty crap, but they said it came off a Ford. I thought hey, for $20, I can't go wrong. It has superficial rust, so I'll be sanding it back and get it powdercoated, though what colour at the moment is unsure.
Only one problem though- it's in Wodonga, Victoria, and I need to find a way of getting it over here to SA!
My usual courier only does from SA-out.
Anyone know of any courier mobs out near Wodonga who does interstate?
Or- even better- are any of you Mexicans heading this way anytime soon? I'd be happy to give some petrol money if you could bring it over.
Anyway here's a photo!
I've opted for a 4 poster for a few reasons... Bullbar laws, weight and the condition of my suspension, and looks!
Final price on it was $31.50

PS I also think it would look better without the bar

Random181 · 20-06-2007, 09:27

You guys might be right, but I figure for $31.50 I couldn't go wrong, even if I sand it back, coat it and resell it- it's worth a shot!
Grampa give us a call, if you can bring it back for me that'd be better than awesome! I'll give you some petrol money as well for it.

Ok rhi i have a plan for you

Get the bullbar home, sand back, paint and look after it, do not put it on B.O.B,

Sell on ebay to some poor bloke in WA who can have a 5 poster.

By doing this you make money- and still keep your ute lookin good.

Cheers

Random181 · 20-06-2007, 09:35

yeah that was half of my plan mate

I figured with the legal crap about 5 posters going on, 4 posters- at least in WA- would be in high demand, so either way, it's not going to matter what happens to it
