WHAAA-A-A-AAAAT?!

Fair enough mate, choice is yours, am not going to sit here and try to convince you otherwise but still...

[mike_wall15]

I think once all the bits have been sorted it deserves a full feature on ft.com

[Rhinopower]

any new on the old screen andy?

[Richard_xr2i1800]

Looks lovely mate, will be sad to see it broke

No way! Is a real shame to break it after its given you so many problems. However sayign that, I wouldnt mind the bonnet and bumpers

[RS rob]

definutely a shame to see this car being broken,
but also i would'nt mind a few bits lol


def needs an FT feature tho

[Dave_B]

likewise, found out last night you were gonna break it when it had been fixed.

been an awesome project youve built up and alot of hard work gone into it!

some things just have to be done though

[Superal]

you cant break it ....at least make it to fitp...we meant to be parking together remember

if it does come to that then i cant say i wont be interested in a few bits especially as we have the same colour cars...

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the nice comments - I would love to keep the car but in all honesty it's been a labour of love and one that I can no longer really afford to keep up!

I had alot of fun driving the car last night but it's a very impractical car (any car you've spent so much money on gets impractical - you won't want to park it anywhere out of your sight, making the whole purpose of the car just being to drive it, which I'm finding less and less time to do) and the car won't be worth that much money in most people's eyes when it comes to selling.

I don't want to have people walking around the car trying to knock a price down that I think it deserves so I'm going to break it.

The engine is worth the most money of course, but near enough all the proper bits of the car have been uprated, the only things that are relatively standard are the rear beam, brake master cylinder and the suspension bushes!

The car will still be together for a while yet - as I've still got things to do like I said before. The stereo system is being taken out as well as the car computer as they're going to be sold on/transferred to another car but things like the Audioscape door pods will be up for sale as they're only really useful to someone with a mk3 Fez!

It's been alot of fun and I doubt it will be the last Fiesta I own - the next time I build one though it will cost me alot less time and hassle as I'll know what to do and what NOT to do

Cheers,

Andy

you'll miss it dude,
i have these mini crisis's every 6 month or so but when it boils down to it i can never bear to break "our kid"

hope you come to the decison your happy with mate.

[andyhardy]

Wish it was as simple as that Neil, but my funding from the Uni of Brighton ends soon and I will only be earning less than 600 squid a month on my companies payroll (until I take dividends at the end of the tax year) so basically the next 6 months or so I'm going to have live like a pauper! The FRST has the most amount of money tied up into it and you have to admit that after all is said and done, it's just a piece of metal and I can always buy/build another one

However, the next performance car I hope to buy will be something a bit more expensive and quicker as standard - will probably be German too

Cheers,

Andy

[pornstar!]

AAAAAAARRRRRGH GERMAN!!!!


i know what your sayin mate, just dont make any rash descisons with it!

grim

[Superal]

id still try selling it for a while...would be such a shame to break...i could also help u out with making it more standard

[ianFRST]

ive oftem thought about breaking mine to get some money back. and i may well do when i get to the stage your at now. when its been driven, and the fun has been there to have.

good luck with whatever you decide to do, but breaking is defo more hasstle, but worth it in the end

[Doug]

Just had to let you kow m8, lovin the car !

Onli bin drivin 6 months, n got meself a little 1.1, gr8 car but cant w8 for insurance to drop a bit so i can get an RS or XR2i !

Keep us updated on any mor news!

[Chris 2i]

sorry to hear this, your car's one of the best on here

needs must though, and I'm sure something newer and more reliable is the sensible option.

Don't suppose you could hold onto it for a bit until I get some cash?

actually, do you need a kidney?

[Pez]

May i just say, this is a really nice car, well modified with the right bits, and a little bit different. Im glad you have got to the end though, there were times a while ago when things were going wrong you wanted to break it, but im glad you stuck with it. Its been interesting to see it develop into the car it is today, and although it will be a shame to see it broken, its the best way. A modified car is personal, and it would be a shame to see someone wreck all the hard work you've done.

Well done Andy, an end of an era. Good luck with the business, and the money problems over the next few months!

[AGAR]

Pez you've summed my feelings up perfectly!

Top car indeed - it doesn't "shout out loud" but does the job very well and subtly!

[TomRS1800]

Needs must at the end of the day Andy and from a business prosepctive I can see where your coming from on all angles there dude! Well I hope you get some of the many thousands you've spent on the car and have some cash back into your pocket! Good luck with it all and best wishes for the future!



Tom

[~Tony~]

hey dude shame to hear but i can see all to well why you are doing it.

hopefully i'll have some cash when you are breaking it

[Rs_Andy]

You car looks the beautiful and its a shame to see such a well looked after car being broken into pieces. Its getting harder and more difficault to find well looked after Fiesta RS's. Id like to know how many RS's there are left cos so many seem to be in bits now.

Im saying this in the nicest possible way "YOUR MAD " but at the end of the day everyone has their reasons for doing certain things and you have yours.

Do hope it all works out for the best for you mate.

RS Andy

[Xr_Dub]

Andy cant you get a feature before you break it man?

and as for the future, the germans are Hot @ the momment

All the best man
