A). you are going to be spending money on a car to achieve a standard that you already have in your campaign,
B). YOU WILL REGRET SELLING BIG TIME.
C). WILL MIGHT NOT WANT TINKERING WITH.
just buy a runner and enjoy what you have, better the devil you know. think your friend might have his own interest at heart…..

If you get a cheap one you may be chucking good money after bad, as said just get another cheap shedder for work use and keep the mk1 garaged for best use :wink:

So…as far as I'm concerned, go ahead and 'modify'. A lot of mods (eg engine conversion) don't result in outward changes in looks anyway.
I can't speak for your personal circumstances but if you've found and worked on a car for any length of time, you'll regret selling it. You won't make the money back you've invested, and you'll probably end up fixing the same things over again on a 'newer' 'less good' car, which won't be cost effective. If anything, but a second car to play around with, there's no harm in having >1 car.

For work, I'm a bathroom fitter/plumber so have tools etc in cars and was making a hash of them, so i bought a caddy van of fleabay, its a 99 model with she dloads of miles on it already.. over 160k when i got it, it starts fine every morning and as a bonus its the non turbo model so runs on biodiesel.. Cheap as chips for work, plus its still a VAG.. Best bet, I've insured it, fully comp, full business use, had no no claims bonus for a tad under ?300. Van cost aroudn ?700 at time..
end of the day mate, I'd say keep yours and do as YOU wish to it..
whats best modding it and keeping on the road, or letting someone else have it and then they either mod it or end up scrapping it..
But its your decision..

My mates selling his 98 S reg 318 BMW touring for ?1800 if you want a cheap "van" :wink: its like a cave in the back!!!!!!!
You're joking? The 3 series estate is one of the worst and smallest estates around. If you're looking for a good size of boot, go for a W124 Merc instead. Cheap too, I picked a 300TE up for ?450.

would that mean i'd have to sit in the fast lane flashing everyone to get out of the way, stop on hatch marks, park over peoples drives and generally drive like a *CENSORED*?
Yes. In my 18 years of driving, I have never, ever, let a BMW out yet. Apparently the drivers develop an aggressivel style to compensate for this lack of courtesy which most other motorists seem to show to them. Don't get it so much in a Merc or Jaguar.

Yeap you sure do!!!
Mate cant believe you wanna sell it, was the exhaust that broke the camels back?
Mate store (sorn) the Campaign in the garage and get another car.
I know I've had the same dilema but you know what I'm glad I did'nt sell the GTI, I actually feel like I've got a bit of kudo's still without even driving it???
But I do understand good luck with any dicesion though
