Thread: Jumbo jet on ebay

before i discovered it was un-flyable i thought that this would be the ultimate mobile home , but a bit thirsty

Here's another shot of it.



Not sure if it would have been well maintained with that title.......................



Geez I can remember when Qaintarse took delivery of their 300's. Seemed like only yesterday....... (1984?)

Ok lets pass the hat around lads. Should be able to get that much and a bit left over for a AULRO paint job. Would be a easy enough rebuild for any of the series crowd, they are used of working on old bangers with aluminium panels. Would it not be a great time share resource for the site. Hmm certainly would make gatherings a bit more interesting. Imagine the chat as one kicks a large tyre. Yes, yes mate we did get the Salisbury diff to fit was easy enough, oh and the series 2a dash cluster you donated looks good too, although the speedo seems to be out a bit.

I think it needs bigger wheels.

I'm just disappointed that they're not accepting Paypal on that auction. I would have gone for it otherwise.

$540k - $435k = $105k

@$25/hr that buys 4200 hours of labour.

20 men = 210 hr/man

8 hr day = 26.25 days to dismantle

Probably won't get much change at the end after incidentals

Naaw! .....It is going to take 16,783 spray cans of Protec Olive Drab just to give it one coat of paint and besides it is 'Pick Up' only .....no postage registered.

Take out of that also that a fair % of that isn't aluminium or recyclable and would incur a disposal cost.
