is a bad coop worth saving?

Hi this is my first post bit of a miserable one though. Ive got a coupe 20vt that is due a cambelt change has a cracked exhaust manifold and a slipping clutch. Sounds like daft question but is my coop worth saving or should i move it on?.

Save it, i've just bought one not much better. Doesn't cost all that much to put right. Can get an uprated clutch on ebay for £100, can get exhaust welded up for £50-£70 if its not too bad. And cambelt change is about £500 at a specialist.

No big deal really.

Hello there. If the rest of the coop is in good nick, personally its worth saving. Its worth doing all the other jobs at the same time, water pump etc,etc. A well set up coop can sound an expensive thought, but put it this way. One of the most affordable really fast cars out there, sure it may need the odd bit of money thrown at it, but compared to other cars in its class, its not so much as you would think.

Set up properly they are a hoot to drive. Its worth taking the time & getting other things done as well, as I previously said....

Cheers guys thats given me something to think about. Aside from those problems my coops pretty solid. Anyone know of a good fiat specialist in the south west or is it a trip to power italia?
