    That's what I've done, over the last 2 years my cars been 95% complete but I haven't had the time.
    I would have taken a couple of weekends to do it a couple of years ago. As long as its done by next summer I will be happy.

    You should at least try putting it aside and doing bits as and when, it will be worth the same money if not more, this time next year if you really don't have the time/enthusiasm.

    You have done well to get that much doen with 5 kids!!! I really struggle with 2

    If its not finance driven, lock it up as stated. If not good luck with the sale, should be epic when completed!!!

    It's a bit of both really lack of time and finance's unfortunatly I would like to finish it.

    It's only a couple of hundred £'s more and it would be done. But family needs got to come first so I need it gone.

    I think the trouble is ,its a lot of money for a five that ain't running. Plus people don't have the knowledge to finish it. It's a help of a car ! !!!! Shame you can't just stick it away James. Good luck with the sale. Be a one off five once its done

    I think you are right. I will get engine up and running and the bit's left to do are pretty easy for anyone handy with a spanner it will just be a case of purchasing the parts in the list of to do's and maybe a few small bit's I have forgotten.

    I will give details of what is needed to finish it off including measurement's and even where to get the bit's from I reckon another £500 will see the car road legal. The current MOT has just run, Unfortunatly I just don't have the extra £500 to do it anymore

    I don't want to break it at all would rather see it go as she is

    You did indeed Mr Grier still thinking of what to do with the car as I really have no more cash to splash on the 5. Then the ole family mobile has recently needed aload of cash spending on the bloody thing and it's still got a couple of minor fault's (plan to fix this friday)

    £4.5k takes it as is and yes I am loosing out here by quiet a bit but I need it gone and want someone to finish it off
