after a number of problems with my car - which are now nearly sorted - I dont know wether to give up and get rid or carry on and finish car - its been offered fast car feature once either the interior or the engine is sorted - Ive enjoyed showing in and wanna get onto bigger stands over next couple of years - but dont know wether to get rid and start again on soemthing with a bigger engine already - possibly F2 hyundai Coupe or an A3 quattro - or finish this off ( 2.0 16v; retrim, custom mods to the outside - paintjob,ICE,lambo doors - all in about £2500 and a hell of a lot of time and effort and off the road time over xmas)
I'll have all this to do again if I get a new car - but dont know what to do - opinions
PS I have to do this to this car or the next to get the business off the ground - so no smarmy comments like dont bother or dont do nething or just keep it standard etc - need a demo car

Staffordshire Moorlands - no more than 1.5hrs from Northampton - not far from Stoke
after xmas would be good cause were having a new ramp put into the workshop in December; so we can get cars in and out easier - at them minute have to fit bumpers on outside the shop -cause the ramps too steep

Finishing it off will be a waste of money compared to putting it into a new car which will hold its value quite well, but if you do want to finish it off go for it

the problem with it imo is the front bumper..
it NEEDS to be lower but with that front u cant, get shot of the front and get one not as low then slam it.

if you want it to demo your work why not make a custom front bumper from another car grafted to that one, and make it the right height...
