Fhemmmy: ^^^ Looking at the cost of battery guy, the water . . . the gas and the rest, was it cheaper than towing?
Also, if you add your labor to it.
However, the experience of making a dead ride walk is priceless.
Following with all in me to see how this turn out.

Baba Fhemmo, thanks for the follow up. We will do our best not to disappoint you.
Per your questions, here's the cost breakdown and thereof, make a decision for yourself.

Battery hire = N2500
Fuel abt 10lt = N1000
Water = N200 bag of sachet water was what i bought, carrying it along.

Miscellaneous like okada to the guy that bought fuel and small dash money Nigerians can like to ask = N400

That's about N4100. Compare to the cost of towing.

Now in terms of towing or not, i didn't compare it with the above cost.
What i had in mind then was, what if the top gasket burns as a result of the over heating
What will it cost me to fix compared to the cost of towing?

I looked at it critically and knew it was gonna be more to fix had it gone bad but as a Nigerian (we love dining with the devil)
I decided to rough it out.

But all i can say that helped me was a little experience. Don't throttle. Once u do, it will start smoking
Since the engine hasn't been subjected to nay tough or strenuous run.
Meanwhile, more off loading pictures for u

Emperoh: Ok,

Going to the "Stretcher" to 'pull'(don't know if there is a technical name for this) out the compressed chassis.



Then paint work: I asked a question on which was gonna be better; normal painting or oven baked. I eventually chose oven baked cos of the taste of the
end user. I didn't want any iota of notice. It was for this reason that i didn't panel beat the hood back to shape but chose to use the replacement part.
Again, it was asked, do i paint the parts worked on or the whole unit?
After much back and forth, i settled for the whole body except the roof and surroundings.

Ans 1: FRAME MACHINE. Will send the pics later

Ans 2: With a good painter, you dont need to bake the whole body, it depends on the ratio at which the paint is mixed that determines the desire result. Big ups

Lexusgs430: This is like a tv series wrecks to riches, but they inform us how much they paid for the unit + all associated cost and eventually, how much the unit sells for.
Would you ever divulge the cost of this unit to this forum? Or have you and calculus x swore to secrecy?
Don't plead the 5th!!!!

You all have the keys, its left for you to unlock it.

There is no fixed price for any car bought on auction. Prices depends on so many factors, especially time of purchase.
