Break my clio to buy a valver?

[cs_dave]

Ok I want to buy a valver and possibly do a 172 conversion to it tidy up so on so on.

Thing is im not that flush at the minute lol do I pull my 182 to bits to fund this or do I wait and save when i can?

What's wrong with the 182..?

 

[cs_dave]

Nothing mate its ok just worth more in bits lol

182s are worth 2.5-4k .. depending on condition / miles / yada yada ...

What's it had done that makes it worth more in bits ? Project thread looks .. er .... lacking....

I rarely see on here to fetch them prices and there's some very nice cars go very cheap. I could also use various parts for the valver saves buying them

Am I just being stupid

But if you want to f4r a valver you'd be best having a donor 172/182. So you'd be selling your bits to then buy back the same bits. It makes no sense to me.

Get a none running valver or even one without a engine. Do the conversion and sell the left over bits. Bare in mind though you will use alot of the valuable parts on the conversion so don't expect alot of cash back on the 182.

This is the reason not to sell complete mate so ive got parts I need from the 182

 

[cs_dave]

This I think may be the way to go

Get it done mate! Can't beat a good valver! IMO the mk1 is the best of all the clios.
