just dont spend more money than the cars worth

i dont go on facebook

i honestly thought you were gonna say "too late"

look yeah its gunna cost but its well worth it in the end and its a project that is runnin lol but yeah it will be gd in the end sean we is bleedin your brakes tomorrow

im not saying it wont be worth it in the end......however....speaking from personal experience, as is mr badman.....
dont build a car u can buy......

and dont spend anything on a car more than its worth, you'll never get it back, and you'll just throw ur money away! it is up to every1 what they wanna do to their cars, and how much they spend, but we are just giving advice??

For example......and example only....

why spend 500.00 buying a mk3 golf, then continue to spend 1000.00 on it, only to have a car worth 800.00 in the end??

when you could, for instance....

spend 500.00 on a mk2 gti for example? and spend a grand on it, and have a 2k or more car in the end.....thereby actually making money, and not wasting your time or hard graft??

I have had far too many cars in the past, and spent and spent and spent on them, to get them how i want them, only to then realise i'd spent too much, couldnt afford it / shouldnt have spent it, and tried to re coup the money. This is a bad place to be, as then your trying to sell a car that owes you say 2k, and is only actually worth 1200.00? and the only way you can stand any chance of getting your hard earned back, is to break the car, or keep it forever.


BUT.....

its your car...your hard earned....your decision.......

And we are happy to help you in any way ya choose to go :-)

no ones having ago, were just chatting and expressing opinions.

to tell you the truth, the amount steve abused this car i thought it was going for scrap!

yeah i know its going to owe me a lot but thats why im only spending a little each month on it, to be honest i'm happy it being a lot of work to give me something to do (as long as its no more body work ) but yeah cheers for the advice and i know i'll probably end up with another car one day but i want to keep this one as long as i can
