Seriously it sounds like a beast of a car, might be worth you having a look, you could 'civilise it' and get it set up as road car.. Very Happy

Isn't this the sort of car you wanted for yourself?

Although it would be a great project, I've got my own project already. And I'm saving up for bits I do need for TC. Also, if it were to be broken, there's nothing I'd want from it. So I'm afraid on this occasion I can't invest... Am oot!

I would like bits off it , but as a car no. I dont want to tell the guy I'm doing it up only to break it.

Well when I was chatting to him yesterday, I got the feeling that you might get it for £700/£800.

I think it's got to be worth £2k in bits.

Now, should I keep the VVC and have two F's or, swap the good stuff off the VVC, IE the wheels and the Milltek exhaust, dash etc, and the sell the VVC (but I have but some much time and effort into "diesel", that I feel more attached to the car than the missus)??

Oh, my head hurts.

Difficult one as you know in retrospec I wish I have keeped the diesel and modded it. The car has a good shell, saying that though sticking 190bhp engine in her would make her the fastest diesel out there!!!!

Buy some new nail varnish to match then, simples Smile

If its a solid car with 12 months mot then its perfect for anyone, just get it resprayed to colour of your choice then as when they are like this a vivid colour such as pink not many people will be interested in them so the prices are much less than others in worse condition but standard colour.
