DRAGSTER PANELS I SWAPPED FOR PM59

allright peeps.
(long story short)
basically a mate of mine had a accident on his bike..scratched his 59 brought a new 1, and had his scratched 1 up for sale for 80/90 pound. he brought it brand new like 2/3months ago..it has no cracks/holes or welds in it.



i was on his case for like 2 days because i wanted to buy it..but he kept saying he cnt hes got a buyer allready. lol, there was just simply no way he was gonna give in and sell it to me.

(bearing in mind) he had just orderd a dragster frame to start a new project, i went and brought some dragster panels off a m8 for 70 pound..hoping he would like them and do a swap for the 59 or if not i was just gonna sell em on...but anyway he liked the panels just as i expected :grin: ....heres some pics of the pans.

 

PS. i know i may of bumped myself and could of got more than 70 quid for em but i brought them intending he would swapp which he did. :mrgreen: .
whats everyone think of the deal???

 

Dragster panels are rare as hell anyway let alone being custom painted like that. They will fetch a hell of a lot more than £70 mate. The PM59 is a bargain at that price too, just the scratches are a eye sore, not sure if you can do much with it. I'd give him the cash for it, if you can't do anything with it, sell it and you'll get more than £70. I'd sell the pans too maybe eBay.

 

yh i know mate..sometimes i think about it and regret swapping for the 59, just for the simple fact that i would of liked to see how much they would of sold for on ebay.
but then i think about it, the only reason i brought the panels was because i knew he would want them for his dragster and swap for his 59.. he wouldnt sell me the pipe for cash because he had a buyer allready.

im just glad the plan worked :mrgreen:

 

pans are a bargin, dragster pans in comstom paint!!!, good find,

as for the pipe, a shop could pull the dent out a pit and depending on how deep the scratches are you could polish them out

 

lovely pans, could of got a blow out kit and blew the dents out or fill it half full of water and chuck it in the freezer for a day and most of it will come out :thumbsup:

 

yh i know..BARGAIN N A HALF.

my m8 had the pans for like 2 years just sittin at his house...then i put my thinking cap on lol

 

you wanna sell the panels :cheers: :mrgreen:

 

iv allready swapped for the 59 m8 :mrgreen: , how much u reckon u would pay for them?? ( just out of curiosity lol)

do u still have that nrg seat?? (snake skin) cheers

 

just found this. :mrgreen:

i want to know how a set of customised body panels ended up sat in your mates house for ages?

 

LOOOL^ exactly what i was thinking

 

Those have been to belgium and allsorts aint they

 

now that would be telling. :grin:

 

Lol aka i know some people who know some peopel who robbed some people :lol:

right ive always wondered if after youve bumped the pipe out using the water in freezer method can you not simply polish out the scratches the same as you would polish a tranny case?
and what would this looks like compared to the chrome?(surely not as bad as the scratches?)

 

good question prettydodgeydave :mrgreen:

 

so yes your friends robed the bike relised the pannels are to hot to put up for sale so just held on to them for a few years then u got them an posted it all over the net LOOOL nice

 

them panels are fully lagit, i paid good money for them, duno what your going on about m8.

 

just because you paid good money for them doesn't mean their legit, 70 for drag panels that have had a 300+ airbrush paintjob on nearly everything? don't give your bullshit about legit, these might be robbed but we have no proof, so we can't assume it's been stolen unless we get in touch with darkside who one of the members had the ped and ask him personally what he did with the drag pans. 70 for the front panel maybe lol.

 

its about 300 for a good plain gloss black paint job, for air brushing you might want to triple that number lol
