well my 20vt was costin me like 60-80 quid a week in fuel n i jus couldnt afford to keep spendin that much  :cry: if i was stil gettin overtime at work it wouldnt of botherd me but there's none!!!! tbh i think im just gonna get this one running spot on then sell it in april when the insureance runs out, and by then hopefully the ot will have picked up n i can either get another mk2 20vt or a mk4 for a change

If you get it done up and sell in the spring you might make profit....
