If you're getting the urge to gas the clio (or any of your other vehicles!) then this might be of interest

Only if you needed cash that badly to go through all the hassle!

That car with 2 or 3 grand spent on it would make a GREAT 'sleeper' in completely STD trim!

Yes mate, I definately need the cash badly enough that a weeks work is worth 5K+ tax free.
Pulling a car apart to sell the bits isnt exactly much hassle TBH unless you are a bit of a mong with the spanners.

Agreed, I just dont want an escort cosworth so would sooner have the profit personally, but its a great basis for a car

Maybe not if you life is living / breathing / spunking cars

I broke my escos in to parts / barely trimmed shell in a sole weekend.

Like fuck would I buy one to make 5k. It's not splitting the car, its the hassle of selling all the shit! Storing bits / being left with loads of crap / mongs turning up

Pass thanks!

But i'd still have bought it! (and then probably broken it after a year! )
