Going Up For Sale
The time has come, I'm going to sell my much loved car
.
As most of you know, I don't get to use it that often and it's such a waste to keep it just sitting there. My career has really taken off too so on the days that it is needed/train travel not an option, I need something more professional (boring?).
You've all stuck with me, from standard right through to Stage 2 so thank you for all of the advice and banter. I don't regret one bit spending all of the money that I have done on this car, it has been so rewarding and 99% problem free motoring (damn VAG engine sensors) giving an eventual 290bhp/326lb-ft which is, when I can use the car, VERY VERY fun!
It's had a lot of recent work and big money spent on it, I could have cut my losses and sold on a half finished project but that's not my style. Now the new owner will get a truely sorted machine with big brand parts fitted that are proven. I have just detailed the car in prep for the sale and I'll give her an oil change to make sure she's all set, expect to see her up on here and PistonHeads soon.
I have already decided that if the sale of the whole car, modified, is slow that I'll have her put back to standard and mapped with a genuine SEAT 225 map but that would be pointless if the new owner only planned to modify again. Anyhow, Pistonheads will be a-plenty with things should that happen.
I'll be sticking around for a bit yet so don't wave goodbye so soon, I have a few weeks holiday booked as from next week so it'll be September before I do this. Until then, into the garage and under her cover she goes.
