Life.

In all seriousness, I was getting married and buying a house at the same time, and it had gone up 50% in value in the 2 years I had owned it, so decided I needed to cash in, even if I didn't really want to

Ended up selling at 'peak' (for now), which softened the blow ever so slightly.

I had two fastback targa top V6 Mustang II's I was going to make one decent one out of and then drop a V8 in. They sat rusting away for a number of years on my drive whilst I concentrated on my house. One of them was perishing so fast that I decided to just sell them on as one project, else I was going to me left with nothing. I practically doubled my money!

I'd still love to get another one eventually. I just love them! Even though performance is shockingly bad as standard

My 95 Chevy Astro 4.3 V6 200BHP.

Owned it for 5 years and didn't want to part with it.

it did have the disc cutter and welder involved but it was just a measley 12 inches cut out of the middle of it and welded back together again a bit like this
