    If I break it up I will, but I'd rather sell it to someone who will finish it.

    To list the main things it needs a Corsa C/Astra G center engine mount, vectra cable gear linkage (I've got a MGF selector), fuel tank, bulk head screen and a paint job.. Oh and some form of mechanical hand brake.

    Perhaps it would be best to sort out a few of the things that need doing, like the engine mount, to make it closer to being a running car. After all its your project so you know how to get it done best. I reckon it'll be a lot easier to sell complete if all it really needs is a paint job and other relatively basic tidying up.

    If I had the time to finish it I would, and if I finished it I would keep it..

    Well it would still be good to finish anything you can to make it more sellable. Selling an incomplete project isn't easy, people normally would either want a finished car, or to start a project themselves from scratch.

    If you really can't do anything else to it, I would type up a really good descriptive list of whats needed to buy and do to get it on the road.

    You are kind of asking questions that answer them selves..

    Like I said if I HAD the time I WOULD finish it and this post wouldnt exist.. Also if I knew exactly what bits I needed to buy and I was 100% sure that I could just buy them I would have finsihed it ages ago because I would have bought them and it would have taken no time at all..

    It annoys me that I have done all the hard work and if it wasnt for all the problems I had at the begining of the year with storage and nearly losing the whole car (because of some idiot) no doubt would have finished it.

    I would like the car to go to someone who has the space and time to finish it, I rent my workshop and if I havent got the time to go down there I'm just spunking money and I really dont want to be put in the position of having to scrap the shell and sell all the parts
