Are you able to give us any pointers at all as to what sort of car you might want to replace it with? If not we might struggle. Anyway, i suggest a Mondeo as a good all-round car that has a decent chance of fulfilling whatever need you might ask of it.

 I say finish it tbh.. you'll only regret it if you give up on it imo. If not, and you want something similar, try a 'tina. Parts are a lot easier to come by at least afaik. |

Rare cars these days. Definately finish it. Hard to find another if you sell it, then regret it.

unless you wanna sell it to me for £200, then of course you won't regret it!  (assuming it has running gear) |

Man i've told you loads of times - keep it and get it done or sell it to me!!! Your getting there now with the arch work so don't lose faith, i've had the magnum in the garage 9years on monday!!!!!!!! 9 frickin years!!!!!!! But it will get finished and so will your Firenza. Its too cool to lose it and you'll regret it immediately that's why you havent sold it yet. Build it and they will come!!!

I think its just your MOJO is low mate.
Keep it but walk away from it for a while till your interest comes back.

ok believe it or not the missus has stopped me from deciding and has told me to keep it. so i guess ill have to obey her indoors and do the car instead of selling it. why is she always wrong on everything else except this time lol....

just stuck on fiddly bits. teh front wings at the back have rotted out and a bit round the rear light. everytime i look at it, it seems to get worse and a scary job to do but in thinking bout it they are probably not too hard to do. unless sombodys got any repair panals for the wings that would make it easier.

Can you get fiberglass wings? Failing that just keep your eye open for a good second hand pair of Viva wings. Where abouts are you?

steel wings are like poor quality wobbly children's play pony dung...
esp high tops... and go for silly money.....
although fibreglass ones are available from smith and deakin around 60 quid each iirc...
