I’m dubious when I see Mark’s 2.6 B4 Coupe sitting for sale at £2.1k that’d it’d be worth much at all.

I just don’t want to throw more money away.

Trouble is that the vast majority of B3/B4s aren't worth a carrot and haven't enjoyed any significant increase in value yet.

To sink any significant portion of your hard-earned into one for any reasons other than a) you like them because of some insane nostalgia; or b) you enjoy spending money on a hobby involving increasingly obscure, 20-30 year old German mechanicals; is probably not sensible in the first place and is never going to end in any sort of profit

Personally i reckon that coupe deserves your tender touch and while the 90 was money-no-object, the challenge with this one should be to do it on the tightest budget possible...? I bet it'll turn out better than alright after you've worked your magic on it and someone will snap it up
