Cheap/Free inspiration

Post by Rocky » Wed Feb 20, 2013 11:59 pm

Hi guys,

So I'm out of work and now the Prelude is SORN so I have spare time and a car that's going no where anytime soon but no money to do anything with it.

Anyone got any ideas/ jobs/ mods I could do for no or very little money?

i have an idea ;)
if you have a sewing machine and learn how to use it :D you can use me as a test subject, i will send you a cheap set of 4th gen seats and you can recover them in blue for me (and i will gift you a £100) and then if you get good you could start your own firm ;)

when you have people paying £1200 for this service if you did all on forum for £400 say, 1 set a week would sort you out and then non-forum members at £600 and that would still be 1/2 price ;)

and dont forget doorcard inserts!!!!
