Hrm... having a bit of a dilemma here. I took my Peugeot off the road earlier in the year to do a respray and a few bits and pieces to it. Obviously, I needed a car in the meantime and that's why I got the Porsche (yeah right, I bought a Porsche as a 'temp' car!). I haven't done a single thing to the Pug since. It's been sitting in my work's car park for a couple of months now, I start it once every couple of weeks and drive it about.. still goes OK but I dunno what the heck to do with it.
It's a C reg 305 GTX, which was the top-of-the-range spec with a 1.9 litre XU engine. I chucked on a 405 GTX injection head, K&N induction kit and a stainless steel powerflow exhaust. My ultimate aim was to get an Mi16 engine or a properly modded 8v XU derivate and uprate the suspension & brakes. I also did a full-body respray myself a couple of years ago, but I was never happy with the finish, which is why I was thinking about doing it again. It goes like stink. Well, for a 305, it goes like stink ;) I've got tons of spare parts knocking around, including some new old stock and just random bits and pieces that I've collected over the years. It's MOT'd and taxed up until Jan next year. Problems with it are that it needs new valve stems and a knocking noise on the front offside wheel looking at (I have a new driveshaft sitting at home waiting to be fitted).
Trouble is, I think it's been parked up at work a bit too long. Last night someone stole the aerial and wrote a message in the dust on the bonnet. I figure that's a fairly good warning that I should probably move it, as where silly pikey kids who steal aerials hang out, usually someone comes along to burn it to shit sometime later.
So, I'm stuck with a car I can't afford to drive, probably isn't worth anything second hand (even with all the bits and pieces, I think I'd be lucky to find someone interested in actually *paying* for it) and is too good to scrap. I don't really even have anywhere else to put it! Argh! What the hell do I do with it!?!?!!?
