Unhappy The Love Of My Life!!!

My bravo has finally died on me (well almost) i think i need a new engine as the camshaft may have gone and it will cost me about 300 fitted and about 450 for a recon engine fitted so im thinking of going for that, everyone keeps telling me to sell it or SCRAP IT but i just can't bear to part with it, so its just sitting there now not doing anything what should i do if i did sell it id end up buying another one!!!!!!!
Its not too bad as i am driving round in my other halfs alfa 156 which is quiet nice but i do miss my bravo

If you scrap it it will come back to haunt you!

Is it 300 to have the damaged parts repaired? If so thats a bargain - and you won't get a replacement Bravo for 300!

Re: The Love Of My Life!!!

Main point is you know its history - how many people can say that when they come to buy a replacement car?! Thats the reason I chose to keep the tipo and replace the front dampers+springs, rear dampers+springs, rear arm pivots, front lower arms, front discs and calipers, bias valve and hydraulic pipes, clutch, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, thermostat, water pump, exhaust system and alloys.. phew!
