Found a note under the wiper of the Shuv...
Called the number on it.
It's a guy who is having an HS replica built near me...From a rotten-as-hell shell.
He wants my shuv to drop his bits in (Fnar) - taken from a Magnum so he can have something to use now as opposed to the wait he's going to have for the 3 door shell to be done.
It's actually what I'd like to happen to the shuv...Make it a proper 'WTF' car - A real HS Saloon.
I'm giving serious thought to selling it...

depends how attached to it you are and what you have in mind for it. you never know how things turn out- you could sell it to the bloke, he could do all the work and get fed up with it and you could end up with it again!
how likely that is to happen tho is another story DOH

Attached insofar as it's my first car...
I had a similar idea in mind but I also have all the motivation of a quadraplegic sloath...I'd rather someone took it, made it what I think it *should* be and ended up with an awesome job than I had it, looked at it for a year or two and half-do a job then sell it on.

difficult decision really isnt it.
i guess, it gives you the chance to do something else, but do you want something else? how much do you want to do the project?

I'd love to do it...But it really is a case of time and motivation... :/ Work's stepped up of late and I have less and less time to devote.

just sell it for profit. otherwise don't. money in hand is always good, and then whilst work is busy, collect the funds again and find something else to buy for less, leaving more cash in the "make it cool" fund.
thats what i'd do anyway.

Bye bye Shuv-it!
Sell it and put the money towards an MOT'd and taxed something-or-other that doesn't need loads of work.

Get a road-legal runner & get out there p.i.m.p-ing it hard.

Gah! Hard decision - I had someone approach me about the Benz the other week. But I've had it 5 years now and am totally attached to the old thing. It is tempting though... getting all excited scanning the bay / local rag for your next purchase and stuff. I think my solution would be to keep hold of the Shuv and buy something else as well. But then maybe you're not as stupid as I is! ;D
