It meant the world to me mate, still does! The huge financial loss doesn't really bother me as it was never about the money, I just bought whatever I needed and knew i'd lose money, thats just a project! But the fact i've spent so much time on it since day one and the fact I was determined to keep it until I die is the bit that makes me sad. I wanted to be that bloke that had an amazing old car sat in his garage. (Granted I am that man now, but its not the same when its a load of bits! lol)

I can't buy another clio off of you, can I? I have such a hankering for old cars lately..
Maybe the next one.

Be gutted if this goes. If you're getting rid make sure it goes to someone here who will do it justice!

booI can't bring myself to do this
Its more likely to go to someone who will break it for parts TBH, and how can you really stop that when selling a car? Interview the person? lol

How can you stop it? Let you build it!
What I have offered to do for Dan is go round this saturday when I actually have a day free for once and wire it and get it running using a spare aftermarket ECU I have (same one I run on my turbo, Mtech V4), then all he needs to do once its working and MOT'd is buy an ECU to replace that one with.
Have also offered to get it MOT'd and map it for him in two weeks when I next have some time off.
The reason I have offered that rather than offer to try and fix it on the standard ECU is that I see time spent on getting it working on the standard ECU as totally wasted as if he keeps the car he'll be going aftermarket later on and also because Ive no experience of retrofitting an F4R ecu into a mk1 and no knowledge of how well he has half converted it now I dont know how long that would take me to sort, where as the aftermarket I know I can have in and working this saturday (especially as it wont just be me as by happy co-incidence me and Mike from MWM are having of a "mates working on cars weekend" this weekend down in somerset blitzing a load of jobs on various projects of mine so no problem to just through one extra thing in the mix for us to do, we both like a challenge anyway.

I hope he accepts.
I've got a few jobs needing done on my GTI-6 track car and don't have time...
Do you like haggis and deep fried mars bars?
Flol, nice try, TBH I have plenty of my own stuff to do so not normally available for helping others much but as its interesting (I really do LOVE this car) Dan is such a nice guy and its something so simple that he needs (just installing and mapping an aftermarket ecu) help with, I thought I would offer in this case.
Just depends if Dan has lost heart in the project though, after so long he might have just stupidly convinced himself now that it will never work etc, which is silly as given that the engine was a good low miles one etc there really is no reason for it to have a problem once on aftermarket and then if he wants to supercharge or turbo it later one so long as he does the mechanical stuff to do so I can then just pop around and remap it for him again no drama.
Whats funny?
Im not asking for a favor? I was willing to pay not only for the work to be done but for the spare ecu. If dan wants to sell and this would of made a sale i fail to see how it's funny
He problably just skim read your post and didnt realise you were offering to pay.
