Default the girlfriend won :(

she is not impressed that im was planing on spending £££s to fix the scooby to get it to a good spec and she thinks im mad with the money that iv spent on cars over the last two years,
so to keep her happy im cutting my losses after four weeks of owning it

so will be going for sale with a knocking bottom end, bloody women

its the fastest car iv had yet and would have been nice to put some money into it but now il be losing quite abit now

will prob get another one at some point tho

Last year I had to make the same decision. I was ready to sell and make a loss. The wife let me get it rebuilt. When I get it back it will be 2.5 litre, 6 speed box, larger turbo, larger injectors, FMIC etc etc.

I was lucky to have a supportive wife, two very supportive friends and a well-known trader on here who is rebuilding the car. Thanks Harvey

dont get me wrong shes great, very supportive but in the last two year iv spend £10k + just on modding add the price of the cars that around £15k if i did rebuild this that would be another £10k plus £2800 i paid for the car over £25k i see where she is coming from but i just love my cars, working on the modding ect
