Is there more to that story? Sounds like your friend gave you a deal and you screwed him. Did you share the profits?

Motor I put into thinmyster's shell which was Redlyne_Jr's shell.
Wheels went to ExtremeSi and got plastiDipped.
Seats to Jeff-E.

I forgot I had another white mr2 in between the one I sold you and the red one I sold ExtremeSi..

3 weeks

Bought a JDM NA6 Eunos for £200, put a new exhaust and cheap wheels on it, detailed it and sold it for £900

the wheels that i took off it turned out to be some rare JDM wheels that just needed refurbished, and i sold them for £250

Kinda wanted to keep it longer, as it was such a fun car, but can't argue at that profit for very little outlay!

Hmm, car that I've actually registered and driven around....I can think of a couple good examples about ten years ago

1990 Civic Si- paid $500, invested $3000, sold 2 months later $8500
1991 Civic Si- paid $700, invested $1400, sold 1 1/2 months later $4500

About a month and a half for me. Bought an integra from someone who had no space for it for $500, put about $100 into it and sold it for $2000 about a month and a half later. Also sold the extra rims from it for another $300.

Chrysler Daytona Turbo - 1 month
Bought it just to crank the boost and mess around with. Ended up getting an offer for 3 times what I paid for it.

Nissan 240sx w/SR20DET - 2 months
Traded my 12sec turbo Civic for this. My first RWD car! Goofed around in winter with it a bit.

Nissan Skyline GTS w/RB25DET - 1 month
Traded the above 240sx for this. Sold for cash so that I could buy my Aristo that I've had 3 years.

And if we're counting parts cars:

Ford Mustang 4cyl auto - 5 days
Bought it for 500, drove it home and did a couple burnouts with it. Yes it did burnouts. Took the parts I needed and sold it to picknpull for 200 bucks.

04 F150 XLT, was the daily beater for about a year, found it a little boring though so I sold it.

[Redlined_8000]

Shortest for myself was about 6months on a 98 civic hatch. Bought it to rip around in the summer for some cheap fun. Was awesome!

3 months - brand new Toyota Tundra. Truck was too tall and large for our office building's downtown parkade.

Fortunately we didn't get hosed trading it in for our Lexus as the truck was purchased during one of Toyota's huge incentive periods.

5 hours, Bought a 97 VW Jetta at work from a customer who wanted rid of it, had a buyer by the end of the day. 2 bill of sales, one day lol.

Next shortest was a impulse 99 chevy 1500 purchase that ended up having a blow transfer case, sold it to a pot head and broken exactly even 2 weeks later.

Lots of others, but those stand out haha.

30 Days. Picked up a 2003 F150, from the dealership i worked at, one month later the parts guy tells me the air filter for my truck was here. He shows me my old one and tells me how the outside was super dirty. I aksed how he got my air filter as my truck was locked. He said he removed a month earlier becuase it was too dirty.(outisde, as the inside was of course clean).

As I lived in a new development area i probably had a large amount of dust, silt and sand in the motor. So i decided to trade it and came out even.
