just bought a k plate classic in silver, engine has been cooked and is a bit rattley. only bought it cos wanted few bits off it then was gona break it but the interior and body is immaculate not a spot of rust anywhere, do i drop a new engine in and mot and sell car or do i strip probably one of cleanest early classics and send it to the crusher?

 

put a new engine in it an keep the poor car on the road

 

get some pics up ..............if its like you say get it back on the road

 

what model 'k' plater???

I would think that dropping in a new engine is the way to go as long as the rest of the car is in good nick and servicable.

 

get some pics up you might be able to sell whole for someone else to do it. or break it and ill take the wings.

 

Save it. Far too many get broken for no real reason.
There are enough wrapped up ones to keep the parts lists occupied.

its a wrx picking it in week when i can get trailer. will get oics up soon as its home and washed ( been stored for six months in barn ) it really is in good nick and someone has spent a fair few quid on it

 

give some tlc mate & give it some pride back - its what im doing to mine. Mine was 50/50 for buy it or walk away. Eager to get back into a scoob & it was a bargain price, i thought what the hell! Only had it nearly two months & spent nearly £1800 on it to get it to my standard of road worthyness!!!!
got loads to do but its a scoob at the end of the day & if you look after it, it will look after you & bring loads of smiles everytime you drive it.
Dont worry about the age/plate as long as its looked after, it will be a great car to own
do the right thing & keep it!

 

already got a white bought this for some bits for mine

 

do it up & sell it then someone else can enjoy it
