    Question do i call it a day or what?

    rite i have just about had enough of car's and i am seriously thinking of calling it a day?

    trouble is i don't no if i could sell my gsi plus i have brand new low-comp pistons bored out block etc for the rebuild of my gsi. just don't no if i can be bothered any more and have a van needing a new clutch now so all in i have no transport and work 60-70 miles from home lol

    do i fix them both sell & buy sensible car? &have no more ness with engines
    or do i bite the bullet and chav on?

    You will know when its time to jack it, I am lucky enough to be able to still have the old escort but I was very close to selling up. Get yourself a nice daily then keep the tinkering to one car

    Surely you are only pulling it one way though? ie. you are pulling it along its length.

    The kid thing will put a massive dent in your play money but RC and Turbogav ect have managed. Just hope I can follow suit lmao

    vultures come to mind! lmao

    i am not divulging my arsenal of parts lol as i may well need them? as for kids i think i could handle them but as previously stated it would be the finances that would inevitably suffer

    i think i will mull over things, possibly put car/s on hold till i decide?, cheers for the input all it believe it or not it helps

    keep goin. fix your van first though as you need that for work then you won't be stressed out about having no transport for it. Do your gsi at your leisure.

    yeah i think that is the best thing to do, all tho i will still have to decide where to go with the gsi but hopefully it gives me enough time to decide

    cheers all

    Re: do i call it a day or what?

    I know the feeling mate!! Like having to remove your g/box on a weekly basis (3 times) to try cure an oil leak, thats without scratching any of the paint, including the g/box itself. I was ready for scrapping the thing, but i "chav'd on"

    Ive thought about this a few times, selling my nova/astra and buying something newer and bit more std, but deep down i know id regret it, and end up modifying it anyway.

    I bought a mk4 astra van for work... yep a month later its on 17"s, lowered on eibachs, ive c/coded it, spoiler, backbox etc (but it was a cheap project, so most parts have been second hand/bargains)
    My argument is its still completely useable, just looks nicer, and handles better

    Any pics of the said gsi??

    i agree with alex38, get your van done first then you can do the gsi in your own time, no need to rush perfection
