I know what you mean. It really is tempting but just don;t know what I'd get as my insurance company like to rape me with a rusty spoon
Pics? (I could look at your project thread, but too lazy!)

look at it this was rysee its a grand plus saves you £200 for the ne front valance and save painting so thats realy about £1300, you could get a nice sr or gte for that the blue gte on piston heads was only up for £1350 and it looked very clean

You're right, it's just that my insurance company wanted to double my monthly payments for a 1.3 or 1.4 SR so that's holding me back unless I banked the cash and waited for my 2 years NCB in oct. I have probs spent £1300 eassssy on it
why not ask him and see if you can get a little more off him? if he's offered you 1k straight, presuming that you didn't haggle him up in price.
imo thats alot of money for it

He offered £750 I said it'd never go for that. I could see the 1k in parts i reckon
I'd be amazed if that was worth £1k in parts.

I would have taken his fingernails off aswel as the 1k lol
that would be in my sky rocket before he could say a word
Definitely looking at a couple hundred in parts max, take his grand, run and find another 1l/1.2 saloon for insurance, spend the other 700 on the new car, unless you really can do without your car til october, pretty sure insuring a car you no longer own is a bit dodgy though lol
After seeing said car, its very nice. Really like the look of it, so i'd say keep it and carry on.

i swapped the insurance over frm my fireblade to a scooter i owned when i was 16 just o keep the policy going theres no harm in it in my opinion:thumb:
i cant believe you drove it home
I can't believe there was any debate!
Saying that though, some boyo tapped on the window asking me if the Jewcanoe was for sale last Sunday. He had been spectating at a JDMallstars drift event.
I said an outright no. :/ lol
Cheers Benn... None of the people that are telling me to sell have spent time modifying the car to their taste... I have
I'd love to find Spax rsx for £50 and those BBS with good tyres for £100 please point my in the direction and i'll take them as spares.
I mean theres 1k in putting it back to standard and selling the car and bits.
Daytona check interiors don't come cheap these days, nor do anything like blanking plates.
I shall be getting a bubble at the end of the month and taking this off the road for it's transplant even if it does take me a while
From the people I know that I have told that have told me to take it were the same people that told me not to buy it... And told me not to own Novas and rib me constantloy for owning Novas... So I havent made a habbit of listening to them and I'm not about to start now
My spax RSX cost me £80, and a mate found his for £50, BBS are standard golf wheels so must be loads kicking about that have been replaced with whatever scene wheel is in this year, maybe 200 in the wheels if they're really that desired , either way you're not looking at £1000 for it in parts, unless you're counting selling every last bit of trim for £5 a piece and the shell as well, which believe me doesnt happen in the real world.
Who cares what other people say or think.
Spend what you can and feel happy spending on the car as its your hobby and you enjoy it.
Taking your to get everything right is the best way. Means you don't have to do back and do things again.
I love the turbo's on yours and Spax? I wouldn't bother.

Exactly. The BBS look like standard mk2 Golf GTi one piece jobs to me?
Obviously you don't want to sell it OP. So stop dick swingin on here. lol
No offence intended btw. I know what Nova parts go for.
I have had two Mk2 golf owners ask me about the wheels. They can't be too common.
I'll closre the thread as I'm keeping
rysee, you actually asked us..... so you must have been thinking about it... keep it, fix it, get the bigger engine in it. its your car, you choose
Shock horror at VW owners asking about BBS wheels. lol
Man I hate water cooled Dubbers. All they see is wheels.
http://nsaney.com/pics/IBTL.jpg
Of course I considered it. People outside the Nova world said it was a lot so I thought i'd ask you lot for a second opinion.
That's the plan Mowgli. I'd end up modifying whatever I get next so spending time when i could spend time on this one

I know for a 'mint' set from a Corrado (look same) that went for £200 with newish tyres. I thought that was good money for them.
Personally I think £1000 is about right if you can bare to see it go. Otherwise keep it.
Well my mind is being changed by constant pressure off my mum to sling my hook
£1000 makes a nice flat deposit/fees/furniture

£1000 wont go far & will be gone when its all spent... Leaving you with no car?
No I'm getting a Corsa Sri at the end of the month with 11 months Mot for £250 :gay: I know but should be cheap to run

I have...
32" tv and stand
Computer and desk/chair
Leather sofa
Fridge Freezer
Double bed
Coffee table
Drawers
Shelves
and a few other things I can't think of plus stuff my family will all dump on me and say they are doing me a favour
Ahh, so by "furniture" you mean "all I need is a washing machine"
£1k down here wouldn't even get you the deposit paid on an average rental place :(
Yeah and bits and bobs to fill in the blanks. I need to find someone to share with though... but I want it to be my house, those "house shares" you might as well live at home with moaning parents
1 hour tomorrow will judge whether I can have a £2750 pay rise :eek: so if I get that I can afford to move out possible on my own
£996 take home basic doesn't cut it to have your own place... even round here

just how many people do you have to pleasure within the hour????
Just the chief engineer... I failed last time... this time I know what he likes
respect. remember your kneepads
respect. remember your kneepads
And lubrication when "fitting"
do it dry, you'll get the promotion
I think next time I wont make jokes about him being short... that might help...
And remember that locking bolts are there for a reason... ooopes
I've just had some kids knock on my back door and ask if my car was for sale, not one of them looked over 13 lol

Just out of shot behind it is another wall.
bathfart, you got it in there.......
i've shifted worse with a trolley jack before... in fact i shifted a complete fiesta with a pallet truck before cos it parked in my way... when the prat came looking for his car, the look on his face was a picture.
They would probably struggle to break into it never mind drive it lol (and after they'd driven it 40 yards and realised how ****ed it is they'd get out and walk)
its been attempted before
