???

Thinking it's time for mine to be dismantled, but deep down I don't want to. Need the cash though.

Anyone done it and really regretted it?

 

Kinda, but my example wasnt really a car

But if needs must.

And you can always get another project :shifty:

 

I know - just this is my first car and has gone through a lot of changes...

 

yeah i broke mine a few months ago
it looked like this march this year,but dont look like that no more

 

I regret breaking my golf G60 but i was on the sick at the time after a bad accident & skint so needed the money.

 

I regretted breaking my old Cossie - Infact, I regret it so much I have bought another one to replace it with

 

I might do it, and keep the bare shell. That way the car can live on, sort of, and once I've finished uni and earning more I can go a different way with it..

 

i cut up my old rs1600i years ago when thay wernt worth as much, wish i had keeped it now lol

 

Yeah, i stripped my old orion cos i needed cash.

i missed it so i then spent that cash on a new one

 

i broke my fiesta back end of last year begining of this. spent proabbly hundereds of hours on the shell, which was a very decent one, stitch welding it, modifying the bay to accept an mtx75 box. loads of new parts, loads of trick bits, then had to break it because my parents were emigrating and i had nowhere to keep it gutting but i had no choice.

 

Yes.... my Magenta Saff in hind sight (owning 3 since) should've kept it and finished it off

 

if ure breaking atleast dont scrap the shell mate

 

Don't do it. Put it away somewhere for a while and get it out again when you can afford it. Drink a little less beer at uni and you'll make ends meet!

 

i kind of do regret breaking mine, i realise now just how good it was, and regret not doing what i built it for, i just got fed up with it

but i dont miss spending the money on it lol

 

broke mie last year and regretted it every day i gonna build my self a saph over winter so it will be exactly how i want it

 

Right it's being broken.

Sad old day but needs must.

Shell will be kept - who knows, might be duratec'd in a couple of years.

 

I miss breaking my old Fiesta, was so quick and just how I wanted it, but it had a feature, ran a some quick times so decided it was a good time to move on.
So wish I could have afforded to just stick it in garage but there was too much money tied up in it.

Still regret it now though

 

i loved breaking my cossie like a big wieght off my shoulders , ive had money to myself the last 6 months

 

i broke up my cossie. Never should have done it. Cos now i want a cossie insted of my escort

 

I've got a feeling thats how I'll feel once it's sold.

 

I'll regret breaking mine for ever I think. But was made redundant, so it was either our bricks or my car!

Funnily enough, the following month I landed a good job and would have been able to keep it!

Never even got to do any times in it or anything either, which makes it worse...



































Kind comments like it was a shed/nail/slow are welcomed to make me feel better

 

i broke my cossie bmw up last month.now im free from that expensive millstone from around my neck.

 

that's such a shed i'm surprised you were able to cpmplete it, just look at that stuff on the engien, even the underseal's all fallen off, you've got holes in the brake discs and the bonnet's skewed, you were right to break it, such a shiney thing would have blined people on the road and led to massive compo claims for loss of sight etc

 

Dojj, I'm not going to quote you as you quoted all my pics as well, and its not my thread...

But thank you for your kind words

 

i broke loads of clear rs turbos when they wernt really worth much, regret it as they were very nice but the cash was nice at the time

 

that said, in about 94/95 i had my 3 door that i spend an absolutle shit load of money on and was my pride and joy
then i burnt a bit of loom on it and it needed a new ecu and an engine loom and possibly some injectors
not much by today's standards, but back then there was no internet and eventually i flogged the whole lot for Ł3k
bet someone was rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of about Ł20k's worth of 3 door sitting there with about a grands worth of fixing needed doing to it

and back in the day it had 330's, 17's, some properly special suspension with remote dampers etc and had just had a full repsray (although the day after it'd had come back, the old man thought it best to stove in the drivers side 1/4 panels and trash the bumper while reversing it out of the garage )

 

yeh im beaking mine at the mo which is heartbreaking because i could'nt get it start and now i know what it was a stupid fuel cut off switch

 

mine went from a car to this didnt have the time to weld up as me old man was ill
