Oof, gutted for you mate

Sell me your seats Bam and that's the first 300 towards your reshell :lol:

Seriously, rock and a hard place... hard enough trying to sell cars like this these days but one with the development this has had will be almost impossible, really needs to be someone looking to do the same...

coming from Ford's years ago, anybody who sank decent cash into them could never sell them and inevitably broke them to recoup, sad but true

Dunno, but I'm feeling that I might be creating a pattern here.

No, I dinae dent Darth. Again, life got the better of me and I let it go way too cheap. I dropped about 13k upgrading Darth.

 Bam - Is that just cosmetics than to sort out ?? Or did the suspension got it as well ??

That is sooooo tempting
Off-side suspension would need looking at. I'd say about 5k would make it good again but then it'll be CAT N. I thought folks on here would be more interested in just reshelling the powertrain.

Go on then I’ll ask the million dollar question everyone wants to know-what do you want for the powertrain??

You mean the whole CAT N (if I go that route) as is?

Me too!I’m in zante now running around after 2 kids under 5 and burnt to death-but the cocktails are numbing the pain!

That’s cheap!!(and I’d be very tempted) But in all honesty I really hope you keep it.

I won't be keeping it. I'm done, if I did repair it, it would be to sell it immediately. But the best option is to just take the payout, walk away and get on with life, being dead to you all.
