Great Chance to give her loads of TLC - You may like the new one but you'll always come back to a MK2....

No it's not - can strip one in 2 days... On a driveway!

Rebuilding is the hard part..

Mate thats a nice 16ver. Store her until you make the decisions, from my point of view it will never go down in price once fixed  :cool:

Mines waiting for respray Atlas grey and I've spent over year doing small bits, but the issue is funds.
Otherwise I would finish it in a month.
I alright with taking my time as this is a personal car I'm rebuilding rather doing it as a project. I'll turn 40 by the time I get it finished, but happy I'm not putting miles on her aswell.
I've never lost interest just never enough funds to get it right!

New engine and keep driving it.

Don't understand the issue.  :grin:
