Can No Longer Fight It Guys...Dark Dark Day

[Ashmond]

Hey Guys,

After the laughs, grey hairs, loosing my rag, actual tears of joy, sighs of relief, money spent, arguments with my ex, the break up(s), the people I have met and good friends I have made on the way it completely breaks my heart to tell you that I have deceided to break my mk4 after a problem with my bottom end now on my Aum (they are no good for a ko4 honestly).

I have been fighting it since back in August when I got made redundant from my Mortgage firm of 5 years and since then I have been temping here and there not earning even half of what I used to and cannot actually afford after looking at my finances to keep on with the project of my life so far. I am actually really upset to let you guys know that this is my final decision and even though I want to be cannot be swayed. Those of you who have seen my car in the flesh and have met me know how much I love my car and how much effort and stress has gone into it. It was a project with started way before I even had an inkling that my whole industry was going to crash and die and therefore had the money to plough into it and actually acheive my aim of creating a show/cover car from a completely base model mk4 golf, this is one thing that I am truley dissapointed in the most.

But bottom line is due to being let go from another temp job of 4 months, I cannot actually afford to have this car anymore due to the unstablitly of my income now. I will be on the look out for another car to have in the meanwhile while im saving my money so if anybody knows of anything preferably 1.9tdi or 1.6 engine or smaller please let me know (willing to do deal for parts)

My car is being broken over the next month and all parts will be stored in my garage from the ko4 set up to the suspension and smoothed tailgate. I will be putting up a long list of special bits in classifieds over the weekend, as well as the normal bits from the mk4, bonnet, wings, etc.

Thanks again to everybody that have been supportive of my dream and to those of you who have offered help and helped me on the way to realising it almost all the way. Still be dubbing guys so dont worry, may even give Rhyso a bit of satisfaction now by saying if I can get one cheap enough I may even buy a mk4 derv, but it'l be staying standard.

Thanks Again

Ashmond

[dai-cymru]

 

thats sad, i can understand how much work you put in as im going through it myself now. shame it let go is it worth just hanging onto it and get a cheap run about till you can sort this one out?

[vapor matt]

Sorry to hear that, that has been some project, blood sweat and tears. but the need for deep pockets is somthing eveyone here can relate to when you start the moding trail.

hope you get sorted with another motor, and hopefully things on the work front will improve for you soon.

best of luck fella!
