yeah, thanks for the imput guys... i really dont want to sell it. but heres the current list of problems which are making me think along the lines of selling up... -really bad fuel economy, as in i must spend £60 a week on fuel and i dont really drive that far!! only really a 8-12 mile journey every day... -about 33 dents the last time i checked... plus i have some rust appearing on the rear arch... and im expecting to have to pay about £700 to get all that fixed... plus theres a crease in the door where one of my mates drove into me. -front brakes are ok, but seem to be suffering from fade whereas my old standard ones did not... -all the interior is stained in oil and grease from transporting engines all over the place plus a tear in the drivers seat... -bumper needs respraying already. -wheels need a bit of attention and one is curbed. -front dampers are burst (would like some coilys but i only get £230 per month, and im £250 overdrawn) -needs new fanbelt the list kinda goes on really. i still love it, but due to the pure amount of problems ive fallen soo far behind with getting it fixed that theres just too much for me to handle getting fixed. plus i'd love to turbo mine, but the main problem i face is sorting out an ecu i can run, and there are no tuning places around here that will tune one for me. i know i wanna keep it, but its gonna cost me more than the cars worth to even get it back to good condition. Rich.
