Confused Why are you breaking it??

[escort new boy]

to come back bigger an better?

[mk1mexico]

I want cash, and thats the way im going to get the most. Sad but thats how it is

[SebringRS]

You got any other projects in the pipe line??

[Savvi]

Was it yours that was for sale earlier on in the year ?

 

 

Seems a shame but i know in some cases they are worth more in parts

[GJUK]

Wow, that's a shame. Are you talking about your red car, the one in your signiture?

 

I guess that's another Mk1 escort that will lie in someones shed, never to be rebuilt again.

 

Looking at the price of mk1 escort pats, can I blame you? No.

 

It's still a shame though.

Lets face it, i put it up at 9k, would it sell??? 1100 base, decent engine/drivetrain, but wants arches and paint, etc , no chance, but i could near on get that back in parts alone.

 

No brainer for me. It will gut me, but so would loosing my job and not being able to afford my mortgage.

Job isnt in any immediate danger, but i live in fear of loosing it anyway. I havent used it in nearly a month just cant justify it anymore

[SebringRS]

I dont get it mate.

 

You havent lost it yet, and you may never lose it...

What I would do is keep the car intact, and if you do need a bit of cash for whatever reason later sell, say the engine. If you need a little more sell some more. At least you'll have 99% of a car left for when times are good again.

[Takeshi]

Madness in my eyes...

[GJUK]

I've sold cars before and wish i hadnt.

 

hindsights a wonderful thing though.

That works in theory, but everytime a part goes, so does a bit more of your hope of it going back on the road, along with it looking more sorry for itself everytime.

 

Im just thinking i would rather have the cash its worth at the moment, rather than the car itself.
