I understand what DAN is saying.. and I totally agree..
Its NOT with spending 8+grand on such an old car..
If you can do the majority of the work yourself and greatly reduce the costs then its worth it..
If not, its not worth it..
Personally with my two cars that most of you have seen, The 2k and countless hours ive spent buying and then transforming the turbo micra has been totally worth it, just for the sheer Acceleration of the thing..
I couldn't quantify the hours ive spent working on it with a figure in Pounds.. But I enjoy it, and learn from it, so therefore I dont take it as a COST.
MY 2.0 project has cost me a little more than that now, but with it going to be one of the most modified micras in existance I think it will be worth it also..
Does anyone see the point im trying to make ?... Or am I just trying to convince MYSELF ive not wasted my money! lol
