Beau, u better stop buying cheap crap to go on these cars or urs, and save for tests and insurance, must admit u can be a wopper sometimes, but id like to see u fully legal on the road one day, just to prove some of the stick u get.
ur seriously keen or stupid one of them.
Free cars are common my dad gets calls at his garage to pick up free cars all the time and he even has the cheek to charge them, they are out their.

beau, i'll only say this once.
it will cost you OVER £2000 to pass test (thats if first time and your a natural, which from the sounds of it, you ain't gonna be, you should have been driving by now already if you wanted to pass quickly and confidently, I was driving on farm since about 13/14 )
pass test
mot + tax 75sx (thats if it pass's first time and only 6month tax)
tpft insurance inc mod's, thats if you search around for ages and probably run up an £80 phone bill inthe process
that WILL cost you over £2000 just to get that far.
you want the gt on the road?
make that £4500+ maybe impossible,
usually 'high performance cars' (hardly call a gt high performance, just plain performance ) on insurance demand that you have AT LEAST 2years driving on your own insurance under your belt, AND THEN over 21 aswell!!!
so good luck to ya matey, but you've wasted your £60 and you have curtailed that gt1's life.
I would.
return it to stock, spend time making sure that engine is tip top (its cheap to rebuild to stock nowadays, wack engine out and get it rebuilt to factory spec), and making it basically factory (inc wheels would be nice), sell all the goodies on ebay (you know how) and buy std parts in return (people are often willign to send your their std parts for you mod'd parts for nough ), then get all the brakes and bearings free'd up (may sound and appear to run OK, but I'll bet at least one brake cyclinder/caliper is seized up right now, never mind in 4years time)./
then tax and test it, and sell it locally privatly.
people love std cars like that, I do for sure, if its mod'd beyond wheels, I wouldn't buy it. and telling it straight I've owned 14cars already, and I'm 19:devil:
use the money you've made (if you really work hard you can maybe make a grand out of that, although there is a lot of panel damage on that thing, and it sounds like its been crashed nicely too:yuck: ) to pay for passing your test and getting that 75 on the road.
then you'll have to find another £1200 for simple tpft insurance

Agreed, i paid £399 all in for learning, theory and test.
Beau mate, i can sympathise with you wanting to keep it (I had a 2.2ltr lotus excel on the drive when i was your age) but you gotta get realistic about this, you don't even have a licence yet, and when you do your just not gonna be able to afford insurance, in fact i don't think you'll even get insurance. On top of that you gotta make enough money to keep that kinda car well serviced, this adds up to alot more than you'd imagine. Yes its a shame you can't keep it but you need to start seeing this as a way to make cash and concentrate on the other one, which in itself i think you'll struggle to pay for. I'm like 23 now and have been driving since 18, have 3yrs ncb and i'm driving my sei sporting and still learning new driving skills. Trust me, you don't need a fast car to start, i have loads of fun in the Sei.
