Fund Raising for Car Repair

R 150 received off of Backabuddy - it appeared in my account without warning so I couldn't insist on it going through the site.
 
What does the 18K entail?

Most of those prices are a bit high.
 
The list is as follows:

Bonnet (already sourced from a scrapped car): R 850
Windscreen (already paid for, but using a loan): R 1,550 - most urgent thing on the list
Alternator (already sourced from a scrapped car): R 1,500 - done using funds raised
Battery: R 1,200 - done using funds raised
Instrument cluster (already sourced from a scrapped car): R 2,000
Steering rack: R 1,200
Rear tires: R 1,100 for both
Throttle: R 1,300
Reverse light switch: R 200
Labour: R 4,000. It may seem excessive, but I have three quotes exceeding that amount for the steering rack alone
 
Doesn't add up to R18k.

The cluster doesnt have to be changed for fuel level. You get aftermarket gauges thats cheaper.
Check the price of the windscreen at Grandmark.

Read the full post. "There are other things that need to be done, but nothing as urgent as the items listed. "

There is more wrong with the cluster than just the fuel gauge. Someone previously abused it quite badly.

The windscreen is already replaced, the loan for that needs to be paid back end of this month.

Do you have anything positive to add, or are you just here to troll? Everything is there in the post :)
 
Desperate bump. Even if you can just spare R 20 - everything helps :)
 
Please guys - I have three days left to raise another R 800 or so or I'm not sure how we'll make it through August (BaB does monthly payouts on funds raised up and until the last day of the month) :( R 50, R 20, whatever - it all adds up.

Had 4.5 dollars camping in a paypal account. Not a lot but only get paid on the 1st..
 
Thank you @Crowley, appreciated!

Not sure if same Crowley as on here as might be from mybb. Also shared on avforums perhaps that helps you with a little push to the finish.

Popped a little bit in the pot for you, I have kids and I cannot imagine how difficult it must be without at least reliable transport.

Good luck bud, hope everything works out.
