I am so stuck as too what i should do next? basically i see a two options....

1 - Sell car and buy something new, i really want a LCR 225

2 - Keep mine and finish it off, which means few tidy ups on engine inc exhaust and then onto a full respray. prob about another 1500 - 2000

Problems...

1 involves spending alot of money and owing lots of cash over 4-5 years

2 is the cheaper option, but i am starting to get tired of the corsa as its taken me so long to get right i am not sure if i have lost interest? and also i ahve less time to work on it as i am back to college at weekends.

Other factors are that i am 22 and single....... and am realising that a turbo corsa actually does not impress the ladies, even if you say that you done it yourself!!!

i am only joking about the girls bit etc, but seriously what do others think?

If you finish it you're just going to spank more money on it. You want a new car but will take about 4-5yrs to pay off you say. Why don't you just keep your corsa for 6months and save all the money that'd you in theory would spend finsihing your corsa, in a high interest account and reassess the situation then.

Finish it...

Or

strip and sell for parts and buy a cheap run around.

One thing i'd advise from personnal experience, never ever ever ever get into debt for a car. It'll just grow and grow and grow, and u'll still only have a corsa at the end of the day.

Keep the corsa, why not take it off the road and put it in storage? Save up for a bit, buy a cheap runaround. REally, only dappy slags are interested in the cars, it really is just a penis extension, most girls won't give a rats ass (as long as they arn't the types to just chase money and designer clothes ).

You've put a lot of work into it, would be a shame to go not finished. One of the reasons i want to finish mine.

Even if it still is a corsa, at 25, doh

I am starting to think that i want it finished, but you are right getting into lots of debt for a car is silly so i think i will hang fire on the expensive car and think about what i want, i really would like to finish the car but what i want it too be like will cost a bit still so i am not sure if its really worth spending the money. i suppose i could just not get the expensive respray and looks for some cheaper second hand bits.

p.s Hur13y, you are right i should stop hanging around with you and perhaps women wont thing that i am out with a R3tard
