What to choose?!

No, i'd go for the tax and mot. If the car's on the road your less likely to lose the enthusiasm to get it finished. There's no point having a car looking pretty but not being driven.

if it needs a new wing have a look at it. if a bit of poking, bashing, and a skim of plod can work instead that would save you the cash for when the time comes to tax it etc. I take it you are getting lessons paid for cos that can burn a fair amount of £s

I will be getting lessons paid for, but not for a year yet!

It's fairly depressing seeing the car sat outside and not able to go anywhere. I feel that if it was used I would be less likely to lose enthusiasm. My mum would probably use it for local trips, as the Impreza isn't very economical and only drinks the finest fuels (Tesco 99 or Optimax), whereas the polo will run for ever on whatever you put in it.

i had rocco GTII front seats with genesis
back seat but sold them so having to make
do with the mk3 GT interior for a while.

i might have the black/red seats somewhere
that i rescued from a crushed coupe S, the front
seats were bent double but the foam/fabric was
good so worth a fiver for everything i could pull off.

i'll have a hunt around and see if i can find it,
watch this space later in the week.

might know of a good black vinyl card set
if you're going black/red throughout.

Tax and MOT for sure.

Cars are meant to be driven, not to be sat around while thinking "Well it looks nice but it can't go anywhere"

Get it out n about on limited miles then shouldn't be too costy. 6 months tax n get ya mom to chip in if she's using it. tis true they don't like being sat about!

also you may know but i believe you can do off road learning to drive before you are 17, i'd imagine a few lessons at 17 on road and a test and ya done, that speeds things up a little. see you ar the retro shows this year then

Oh dear, there has been another option given!

My parents have suggested getting me some driving lessons with a local company. Hmmm
