Nearing The End Of The Road For My Car

Bad news, though understandable in many respects. I would suggest you don't give up too soon. as already mentioned I think you will regret it. Breaking will get you some of the money back that you've spent, but only keeping (and enjoying) it will give a return on all of your efforts.

Ah man that's a shame. And even bigger shame another good 4th is going to be broken!
How much would you want for the whole car? I'd be interested at the end of the year it's a stunner.

This. I have always run this as a show car, keeping it in tip top condition (or as near as I could get it) and now the rust is coming back through, that's another £1000+ bill to have them replaced again, which is more than I can justify spending.

LG wouldn't be the same without you.

What kind of replacements have you been considering out of interest..

You think I'd be leaving the forum?! Hell no!!

This has to be one of THE BEST online communities I have ever been a part of. I'm not going anywhere even if my car does. Besides, who'd organise your show tickets?!

I'll be honest, an S2000 is top of my list at the moment, which seems to be the natural progression of the lude owner!!

I had the rear arches done in 2011, so I've had 3 years of enjoyment out of the major investment in the car. Now I'm just pouring more in every year just to keep it on the road. I feel there comes a time where you have to draw that metaphorical line in the sand and say enough is enough.

I haven't even considered that right now, mainly because I'd probably want more than anyone was willing to pay for it. I'm going to have to sit down at the end of summer and work out how much I'm going to get from all the major parts and go from there. Will let you know.
