well had loads and loads of calls about the car
but its not sold yet!! mainly because engine problem puts people off! but i have no money to fix it lol!
i need sum money so thinking of maybe splitting a few bits!
maybe few things like lights, engine bits etc maybe interior bit, replace with standard!
reckon its worth it?
or shud i just ebay it and hope for the best?
duno what to try

Get that awful interior out and get some std ones in there if they are sport seats.
Sell the other interior and then get the engine fixed.
Where have you advertised it?

Get it on autotrader. Something like £20 for 2 weeks. Mate sold his car on there in less than 24hours of it going up.

Not really 
The time and money it has taken him to source the problem, He could have had a new engine fitted and running by now.
