The quotes I've had for the respray were all around the £3000 mark due to the rust the windscreen being the most expensive part of it.
So I've decided I'm gonna have to break her, the other reason behind this is I really want to get my track car up to spec as I'm really considering the Honda Vtec Challenge maybe next year if I can get it done in time.
I'll put up a breaking thread tonight, if there's anything you know you want feel free to pm me, I'm only planning on keeping the engine as I know its strong and had the belts done recently. It's a sad day and I do feel guilty about it but if I want a proper track car I'll need a van and can't have 2 ludes a trailer and a van and only 1 car for the mrs.
that's really sad news mate :( cant you break her for the good parts and sell as a standard? or is the rust too bad :?

It's is a shame but the only logical thing to do really. Hopefully the track car will be even more of a beast now then?
