Opinions please,i need some help!!
« on: 21 April 2006, 19:45 »
As most of you may have read my Mk2 turbo went bang on tuesday after only being on the road 4 days.Everyone(family,friends etc)are trying to talk me into getting a newer car,but im in a catch 22 situation in that the car owes me a grand which im not going to get back if i sell it as it is,but then again the rest of the car is so straight and perfect for a eurolook mk2,that im toying with the idea of going to town on it,new lump wheels coilovers etc.Ive got another car to drive so thats not a problem it being off the road for a long period of  time(however i need a flat cap and slippers to drive it :grin:Rover 800 vitesse sport 200 bhp turbo.Thanks for looking

I think in these situations you allready know what you want to do but its nice to have other people confirm the Way you feel is rite, in for a penny in for a pound mate. Get it done, if the cars that clean its not like your wasting money on a shed is it ! :smiley:

hmmm, tricky one paul. bit gutting about your engine but if the car is that straight...... on the other hand in the year or so that i've known you, you've never found it too hard to find a good project car! i'd get searching and if nothing else turns up then make a start on the ex-turbo!
team grumpy....... its a way of life, not a forum post

would it be too hard to drop a 8v in or something to keep it useable while you ponder the future in terms of project direction?
