My Car up for Sale

[AshG]

give me the money and i will take it down for you cant give up now

Why not, find a friendly local builder to you, give them a grand and your car, and couple weeks later they return you a car with number plates on?

Someone like Saturn should be able to finish and put it through IVA.

Depends where you are but there may be another company near you that will do it.

Bad news Enoch,last few posts are a sound remedy to your dilemma.

I know how you feel I have a real fobia with exams and I need to do one ( I am 55 !).

Enoch, I've really enjoyed reading your web updates, your sense eof humour shines through. I can understand your reasons but I'd say give the last few posts a good think before you sell up. I fear that if you do sell now you will forever be wondering what it would have been like to drive a car that YOU built BY HAND from start to finish.

sorry to hear your having to sell up mate, i too have read your build diary from start to finish. The worst thing with selling anything you have put your heart and soul into is the regret that comes afterwards. I almost sold my build when i was made redundant but i changed my mind because i knew id regret it. I spent almost twenty grand rebuilding a twin turbo mitsi gto a few years ago and i sold it when things got tight, biggest mistake of my life. Id say if you are going to sell, then at least give it a blast around a track first and get some enjoyment from it. Anyway chin up mate, you might change your mind after a few days.

regards

Nathan

Well thank you all for your kind words of support, it has been quite touching.
I have really enjoyed the build process, it has kept me from going totally insane over the last year and a bit. I have built a car previously, which I drove for a few months, it was fun. I have thought about it some more and just can not get myself interested in filling out all the forms and going through the whole ridiculous process. I have already had a nightmare with DVLA getting contradictory answers or no answers at all. You can't even phone the local guys, you have to go and see them, they are 45 minutes drive away!! I might get it totally finished before I sell it so I know I have done it but I have had my fill of dealing with stuff I can't be bothered with, life has got me beaten

My thoughts would be this;
If its not a money issue then finish the car and leave it in your shed or garage uncovered.Walking past it all the time may well spur you on to get it registered.

I second that...

Hi Dave

Really sad to be reading this thread

I have been an avid follower of your build diary from day one
When I am feeling low, I often turn to your blog for a good read, it never fails to bring a huge smile to my face & really brightens up my day.

Can certainly see where you are coming from though & if I were to be honest with you, the 200 mile round trip just to jump through the IVA hoops, is one of the reasons as to why my build is not progressing as fast as it could.

My motivation is at an all time low at this moment of time, missing Stoneleigh show didn’t help.
After spending the last month trying to deal with our incompetent local planning office, I can certainly see how easily one can become sick and tired of officialdom

Been some good advice given to you already but perhaps my current situation may give you some inspiration.
At the moment my build is sitting at the back of the workshop gathering dust, I have no interest in working on it at all …. Just too much crap going on in my life at the moment.

Every time I walk into the workshop, it really annoys me to see it sitting there just gathering dust.
I have very strong urges to just sell up & clear the lot out of sight.
Just can’t bring myself to do it, I know I will deeply regret it ( I am certain sure of that )
To this end, I am looking for a small lock up to store my build in for the time being, out of sight out of mind sort of thing ( If you know what I mean )

All of that said, I am sure that you will decide on the best personal solution for you & whatever that may be, I wish you all the very best.
