Would be a shame to break/ sell this now =(

Allthough I would probably take out a loan to buy it haha

I'd do the exact same to buy this. Please don't break it though, would be such a shame!!

[306GT30]

[callumcull]

Hahahaha!! Oh dear lord...

[306GT30]

Marvin & Paul Motorsport.... nice eeh!!

[callumcull]

Suits you

[306GT30]

After getting 2 "decent" offers on the whole car, for now ive decided to keep it, had a talk with Marvin, and after spending all our free time on it and without Marvin the thing would still be standing in its place without a motor it wouldnt be quite fair to sell up.

So im starting next week on the reserve engine, and were going to make that one forged with the parts i already have.

Car wont be on the road anymore this year, i suspended it again and removed it from Insurance.
To be really honest, im not that gutted that this has happened, since the clutch problems already ruined the drivingfun of the car.

Will update next week with some pics to keep the show on the road, although motivation is kinda low

[WiNgNuTz]

Good job you decided to keep it mate, seems silly to have put all that time/effort/money in to it, just to sell it cos it had some teething problems. Take a step back from it, put it out of your mind for a bit, then go back to it with fresh eyes, and get it sorted in time for FCS '14

[Ruan]

Cue another 8 sets of wheels, 3 dashboards, 14 sets of seats, 6 roll cages, 29 steering wheels all trying to decide which one looks better...

[306GT30]

Yep!

[Piggy]

yes!

thats enough said.

[Matt]

Cue another 8 sets of wheels, 3 dashboards, 14 sets of seats, 6 roll cages, 29 steering wheels all trying to decide which one looks better...

Haha this!

[ginge191]

I dont get it?

you shat the clutch, so you decide to rebuild another engine??

[Ben]

I dont get it?

you shat the clutch, so you decide to rebuild another engine??

Think you need to read the previous page..

[ginge191]

I dont get it?

you shat the clutch, so you decide to rebuild another engine??

Think you need to read the previous page..

shat a bearing... ?

Unless i missed something pretty huge..?

[C.A.R.]

Glad you have decided to keep the car.

I spun a bearing in my GTi6, same again, oil starvation. Horrible noise! Even non-car people would be able to tell it's an expensive problem. Fortunately, not my fault and was fixed under warranty.

There must be some thought in the back of your mind that you could have gone with an engine swap for something which was built for forced induction, and whilst there would be more fabrication work you would be out driving it right now...

I'll stop talking.

[306GT30]

Well guys decided to sell the car, its going to a Danish GTI6 member.

To be honest the motivation is gone and dont think putting the car away for a few months would see things different.

Thankyou all for the great comments and positive things, i had a fine time here and im sure ill hang around and have a look every now and then here.

I had a blast doing the car with Marvin, and it might be true what they say, creating something is a lot more fun then driving it ( and repairing, haha)

I wish all of you the best and be safe

Paul

[Scott]

Well that was an anti climax. I understand your reasons and know it can be difficult to find the love again, but damn.

[Ed Doe]

Anticlimax of the year.


And the moral of the story

Painted calipers < Boost

[Midnightclub]

Shame to hear, always seems to be the way all great projects go though!

[callumcull]

So gutted to see see this man, genuinely gutted. I do understand though...

[Scott]

Is the new owner a member on here? If not then you should get them to sign up, everyone wants to see this project finished!

[Dum-Dum]

As long at the new owner signs up here well all be happy.

I totally understand the thought process that goes into selling a 99% finished project (probably more than anyone else here)

[306GT30]

THx guys, ill make sure he signs up here oke!

Ill be sticking around dont worry

[4WayDiablo]

THx guys, ill make sure he signs up here oke!

Ill be sticking around dont worry

going for another mental project on something different?

[Jonny b]

What!!!!!! Can't believe this!!!
