£500-700 collected, depending on modifications, etc.
Buy a second hand Ph1 engine for £350 or less. Whack it in.
Split your old engine and sell for parts.
Get a new engine, imo.
Much easier than cocking about getting the belts done etc, if you can find one where the belts have been done recently.
Should be able to see a sub 100k engine with recent-ish belts for £350.
Either way- buy a 106 GTI/VTS, spend the money on strippers and coke. Don't buy a 1.6 or a diesel unless you do 25k a year!
Oh, PM me. I'll have a high spec GTi for sale soon. (;
Just had a bad feeling that it was dodgy, and I've bought some dodgy cars before! Plus, any car that cheap that's still for sale after about three months? You've got to ask why!
I rushed into getting a sport when I was 20, and I really should have kept the 1.2 for longer. I know exactly what you're thinking.
IMO, if you have to get something faster, buy a cheap Saxo VTS or 106 GTi (be clever about it and you won't lose money! (pm me, and i'll tell you how!)). Then...
IMO, keep the 1.2 until you can afford an RS. Stepping stone cars are a waste of money, imo. Might as well save until you can afford what you really want.
When I have something worth washing, weekly. No matter the weather.
For the last year, i've been rolling in sheds which will never see a wash at my hands.
