I agree with selling yours and just buying another one BUT if your brother can do the conversion and your car is in good shape why not just pick up a cheap one take engine out then break the rest of it? Then Sara taking some of the mods uve done already over to the new one.

I'm glad your thinking sensibly as gettig a turbo one now  :grin:

haha i need a turbo jon, honestly i love my car, i just wish it had more power!
see what happens, im going to look for the right car and take my time!
if the right one comes up, ill buy it then get rid of mine!

Got 5 month left on my insurance so maybe I'll wait to get my no claims!
If I find "the one" before then I'll just swap it over I suppose

Oh and I am not sure, it depends on if it's in good condition, I would prefer somebody to have shelled some of the money out first haha

Ye wait mate. I did. Well actually I found one about a month before my insurance was due up so just sorned it stuck it on driveway then done the small mods like de badge, radio cage etc  :cool:
Having a 1yrs no claims will help especially if u want one with mods  :grin:

If your brother could do the conversion and a decent 1.8t sourced - BAM with all the ancillaries for a reasonable amount then might be worth doing if your car is in decent condition and have already spent a bit on it.
