Don,t,break Her.

I think there,s afew of us on here(me included),that haven,t got cash to go full steam ahead.

I,ve just came to accept,it,s going to take time.
I,m juggling 2 q90,s and my photography and only a small cash pot.It gets frustrating,at times.
My red q90 needs jobs doing,my blue q90 needs finishing(well,starting.

)and I need a new lens.

I,ll get there,in the end.

Don,t do anything,you,ll regret.

Pete, i have never seen you finish any of your projects.
Stop breaking cars that you can no longer be bothered with!

I'm not knocking your enthusiasm, but for gods sake stop buying cars you will never finish and parts that you will never do anything with and maybe you would have some cash to get the ur done.

Do you just need a virtual hug every now and then?

dont greak it! mines on my drive and a wreck and to be quite honest yours is in a million times better condition .if I were you leave it till you have time .Ive been um in and aring what to do with mine and all the parts I have got and I have looked at others but my funds are low too so I weld a bit now and again.Dont break it save it or sell it whole to a good home

Spend a morning doing that list you have put up,they are all insignificant things really,give the brakes a light overhaul,again not a big job and put it through an mot.I would be very surprised if it needs anything major,maybe a bush here or there.Or of course you can break it

(ie. sell 25% of it quite quick the other 75% doesnt sell and causes you no end of pain and then you scrap it all).If it was rotten/crash damaged then it wouldnt be a great loss but it isn't so fix it and let someone else enjoy it,simples!

That cars still in one piece but not mine the previous owners had it back but because i'd paid for it I kept the running gear which is now going in my ur q.

What other projects didn't I finish? Yes the s2 I didn't finish but that was due to my ex I sold that to someone who said they wanted it for a track car, he then crushed it. If i'd have known in time i'd have had it back. The 20vcq sold on as a whole to a forum member who afaik is still using it, the tdi avant I didn't trust after

and my 20v quattro sport I sold on to someone who is on this forum as he said he wanted to restore it, he drove it home and stripped it, if thats the case this is getting stripped.
