Default What to do?

Well, hit a bit of a crossroads with the car....


Engine/gearbox is making a strange noise, bearing/shim etc related.... To be honest Im not upset, as we are pushing this engine harder and harder and we were beyond its limits before I got hold of it! I have allowed for this and have a CDB ready to send off to ET. Its done over 30k miles now at 500+hp...

Rust Rust and more Rust! I have lots of it

Rear suspension needs a rebuild by Tein

Upgrade to widetrack R180 running gear reqd

Gearbox rebuild needed as I have smashed another 6sp to death

Now im just trying to figure out what to do really.... The engine, gearbox and r180 conversion have to be done no matter what,

Rust - Fix my car, or re shell?

Suspension- Repair my Teins? Or go with something new?

Or just sell up and get something else? Its another good 9k+ to sink into what is essentially an 18year old chav mobile.... Its never going to go up in value, I have considered re shelling into a Type R shell as it will go up in value in years to come.

Or do I carry on and try and break my goal of 600hp on the S206?

Re-Shell in a properly prepped stripped out Type R or RA shell and fit your good bits, sell the bits you dont need/want, get rid of the bad and buy the rest, lol, Thats what i`d do

Well, I have an awful lot of good bits and would be cheaper to fix my shell....
