The time has come
« on: 19 September 2012, 14:07 »
I'm seriously thinking of selling/breaking the mk3.
At the moment the car is looking a little worse for wear underneath,the sills are rotten and the o/s wing has a little hole at the bottom.
Also the gearbox is sounding a little noisy,although is still maintaining gears.

I'm thinking sell the rims and then break the car.
Are alloys selling at the moment though?
was thinking about £450 for the rims,then if I got about £400 from selling the parts off the car I'd be happy.

 :cry:

Don't worry about the engine/gearbox stuff, its all about the shell.
If you cant afford/be bothered to fix it properly then its time to move on :smiley:
