If you are having problems getting the parts sold, could you even sell it on to someone else who may be interested in breaking it? I know you may not be making the money you wanted, but it would save the time and hassle

good parts will always sell johnny, instead of breaking the whole thing, sell off all the parts and bring her back to stock and sell on then, only way to get some bit of money back

Get stuck into it mate I have the same problem I have just got up with a 12 hour night shift infront of me working on trucks and busses starting at 6pm and the last thing I want to do is go start working on the car but it has to be done!!! I know it will be worth it every time I keep seeing the mates poping and banging there ani lag lol all I think is mine will be doing that soon lol.. But I know how hard it is to get motivated but I enjoy it once I get started!!

I think it realy depends on the parts involved and the time od the year. Shame to see it really. I was looking forward to seeing results on the AFP turbo.

@ Sean where the hell are the tyres!? They look like elastic bands :haha: Tis nice though :cool:

I feel your pain Johnny, having a bad time with mine at the moment too. Big electric fault and dont know where to start with it.

But I'm gonna battle on and finish her, I've stuck it long enough.

Be a shame to see your car gone as it's been one of my favorite's since I've joined TGTT..!!

Are you not rebuilding yours?

Its hard to keep at it Johnny, no doubt about that, but I think you will regret it if you give it up without finishing it. Are you emigrating permanently or just for a few years? I would store it for a while then decide, parts are not going to be worth nothing in a few years so its not a rush.

Where the money is these days in ireland is tdi vw audi and the likes, i bet u if u started to buy and brake them u would make way more cash than u are now, and there is one thing i hate about them is the lads that put the exhaust systems on and that shit pooww noise i cant stand it no harm to them, thats where the money is man people is going tdi because the cant afford to drink petrol any more.
