Remember a car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. There might be no one willing to pay anything more than 1.5k but then again you may get two people who will fight for it.

Good luck when you do come to sell it, i'm sure you will get what you want :afro:

Cheers mate....will see how it goes. Still unsure wether or not to sell it. Might sell my Cupra instead and just keep it but even prices on them are quite low just now.

No need for you to worry about it as i'm constantly worrying about the finished article wether or not it will measure up. I doubt I would have taken such a project on knowing how much time and money it would take me as i'm practically brassick now although at least have 99% of my parts and accesories. Just want it finished now but still a fair way off and refuse to rush it as that where corners get cut.

Pretty much got my engine and gearbox ready to go back in the bay. All bolted to the subframe the same way it came out 8 weeks ago. Just got to mount the power steering pipes.











Had the sump and the rocker cover and was surprised how clean it was inside, a nice golden brown and no gunge. Even all the breathers well totally clear. Sign of a well looked after engine.

Quite pleased with it, looks almost original how it came out the factory. Just got to fit the brake pipes in the engine bay then this lump will be getting hoisted back in.

Just got both brake lines to feed the front to make then it will be going in, not sure when it will be tunning but no rush. More concerned getting the front back on the ground so can start on the rear.
