think its going on ebay!

with all of the things that we have listed here, i have well over £1000 to spend to get it legal, then i will find myself wanting to get the engine bay cleaned, and getting the alloys re furbed, and getting the body work sorted, then getting new seats as the other ones are looking a bit tired, and i dont have the patience to sort all of this, plus funds to do all of the above are not available as i have to save for a wedding.

will be a sad day when it goes, but its a HUGE drain on resources.

With regard to your tyres - Ive got a set of 20vt alloys with 4 excellent tyres - wheels are straight, not buckled, the usual kerbing,flaking etc... 2 of the tyres are almost new (few months old) - I want £170.00 for the set of wheels and tyres - Ile take yours with knackered tyres in px providing they arent buckled.

where the hell were you when i had a bravo!! :bang:

Fancy a swap for some 15" Punto mk2 alloys sprayed anthracite?.

 

[Mark20v]

Ahhh - sods law!

They are for sale but 15" punto alloys are no use to me Im afraid, sorry.

Shame youve got to get rid of the car mate but know what its like to be facing bills like that with the coupe :devil: hope you get some money for it, good luck.

Dont go from a fiat coupe to an audi.

Truer words were never said...

well that deal has fallen through, so i am looking at a 350 z.

 

[tipo-tinkerer]

a cat actually increases backpressure, if you decat the loss in back presuure can cause oil seepage
but agree with the above comments, no where near 1500 quids worth of work

 

[ycming]

I don't get the idea of buying another instead of fixing the coupe, the coupe is 11 years ... and when u get another 350z , it is also going to around 11 years ...

Just you know when MOT comes for the 350z, it probably won't just pass right away and may be needing the same things done....
