Default What am I going to do with it?

As many will know, I need to get rid of my Red S12 - Ive got the black 12, the S13, the S14 to be broken, a business to run and I like lying about as well, so realistically its not ever going to get driven by me again

The car is not in bad nick at all - it doesnt have any rust of bends, but the rear wheel bearings are so far gone its nigh on undrivable - the handbrake needs some attention to get it through an MoT as well. The rest of it is good - engine is strong, mods are very swish and professional, and bodywork is vgc

s13eater has the parts (rear hubs basically) that would get it through an MoT (cheers Shaun) but its become apparent that Im not even going to have the time to go collect them, never mind actually fit them ........... without the hubs the car is damn near undriveable and definitely not MoT'able (fcuking great smiley btw )

So what do I do with it?? I cant bring myself to just scrap it, as its a good car and Ive got a lot of love for it
Likewise, I cant just leave it on the driveway waiting for someone to nick it or the tin worm to set in.

So basically Ill accept offers for it. Anything you like - I just want the car (or at least some of it) to go to a good home and be off my drive. Im not putting this on SXOC yet, but will do if thats what needs to be done
Its got T25, custom zorst, custom FMIC install (all chromed hardpipes), SE springs, S13 clutch and throttle body, and I reckon is at about 210-220hp
Extensive service history, mint inside ............. and thats it See here for more info: http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=274997

This is it Mart - I have been struggling as everyone wants an MoT. Im prepared to take a loss on the car if I have to - it cost me £400 when I bought it and if Im honest Id take less to get rid now, even after the time, money and effort Ive spent on it

We'll see eh??

I'd try to take it but am struggling with car space. Between me and a mate we have 4 garages, each with a car in, I have 2 cars at home, so finding space is an issue.

I do have someone who has 2 spare arms by the way. I gave them to him for gratis so I'm sure I can have them back.

I hadnt thought of that - we'll see how we get on

Graeme - make me an offer and Ill let you know. Bear in mind it cost £400 in the first place, Ive spent prolly a grand, but I do need rid of it
