Default Breaking a Cosworth...no not mine!

Getting a bit fed up of folk complaining that every cossie i buy gets broken up! I really dont see the problem, for what ever reason they get broken up the cars i buy are the good ones so the shell always gets rebuilt to a new owners spec.

Rhys rolling shell went to a good home and was built back up to live on

That GGR one i sold as a whole as it was brilliant and couldnt break it...the next owner did though!

The lastest norveau red one is being put back to boggo std as its mint and is worth the same as modded!!!..Still part mine!

Rainbird reshelled saff was a crock of shit and NEEDED setting light toBUT it went to Ireland the shell that is so that lives on.

The 2 3drs i have owned were not broken up.

The 2 escos's i owned were not broken up.

I have had 2 saffs that needed to be broken up and shells scrapped as rotten!

This lastest saff is quite nice tbh and is getting mods that i want to do, so maybe this wont get broken...but if it does the shell/interior are mint so will live on.

So you guys have a problem in that a car is built to someones own spec and we are all supposed to like that? Do u guys get pissed off when someone changing wheels?

I don't see the problem, they're your cars do what the hell you want with them.

Hell, paint the fuckers Yellow if you want to (I would)

Seems a bit silly making a new thread for comments which were made on the other thread, but that's textbook Phil.

For those who haven't seen my comments on the other thread, here they are:

End of the day, the previous bloke obviously got the cash he was happy to get and since you're the owner of it then you can do whatever you like... but it's just a shame to see all the good work pulled apart and sold off when cars like this are broken.
The above is my opinion, and that's really the long and short of it as far as I'm concerned. I won't lose any sleep over what you do or don't do with this Saph mate, but I am entitled to an opinion and the chance to put that across.


Cheers,

It's your car mate, you paid for it with your own money and therefore entitled to do with it as you please!!

People have told me that what I'm doing/done to my car (painted it frozen white and converting it to 2wd) is wrong and I shouldn't be doing it because it's not original but I couldn't care less what people think, it's my car to do with as I please!!
