Re: Working 3 jobs finally paid off!
Thank James
Its just with college being so expensive and not being able to get insurance I'm wondering if there's even a point to putting a new engine in now...
I'm looking into just taking the engine out, then buying a car bubble and put it in storage until the time comes to actually legally drive it, but that could be 4 years away! The sensible thing to do would be to just sell the car.

Re: Working 3 jobs finally paid off!
But every time I look at these photos, the thought "How could I sell it?!" comes to mind. Driving the car on these deserted roads and taking these photos was the most fun I've had in my 3 years driving

Re: Working 3 jobs finally paid off!
Those are stunning photos Kian and your car looks great....... if the engines playing up, put the car away until you have a bit more money around you...... the prices of these cars are rising and if you sell it, you might not be able to get back into one again in the future without spending a lot of cash.

Kian, don't sell it. Take me as example. The 7 was my first car, extremely long list of problems and things to fix, studying aviation, no money, put the car aside, and 12 years later, started to fix it as it should. Your's is in excellent shape, so my word to you is keep it, and at some point of your life you will be able to do what you need.Petrolhead96 wrote: Its just with college being so expensive and not being able to get insurance I'm wondering if there's even a point to putting a new engine in now...I'm looking into just taking the engine out, then buying a car bubble and put it in storage until the time comes to actually legally drive it, but that could be 4 years away!

Re: Working 3 jobs finally paid off!
Cheers Guys!
For the moment I am working 6 days a week, any money I can afford to put aside goes into a little piggy bank for the car. Hopefully soon there will be enough so I can get it back on the road, for the moment its under lock and key in a dry garage. I don't want to stick with the same power as before, I'm on the look out for a 13b!
sure if you're ever over, send us a message over the forum! I'm aiming to have my car running by September.
Roads called the healy pass, its used by local rally drivers for testing. Theres a few roads like that scattered around the place in CorkHobbawobba wrote:Whoa!I want to get over there at some point aye. Be awesome to bring my car over
