RECORD OF COSTS

I suspect this could end up as the longest page on the site..........

These prices are only from my wallet since buying the motor on 5th February 2005 for £4800. Some of the repairs were budgeted for when I bought the motor, such as the rear chassis section and the front hubs. All work carried out by me, so no labour charges apply (thank god!). Remember that servicing costs are included here and things like the odd patch welded in were done by me with no cost involved other than time. The Landy is a bit of a project and dare I say it, A hobby, so please don't look at this list and think it's what a Landy needs, much of what was done is because I wanted to or it was showing its age, not always essential.......
