Ronnie,

From my experience.

I really wanted to sell everything as one lot, it would have been so much easier, but people want certain bits and don't want to spend a large chunk of money, so I ended up splitting, I probably made a little more but it was way more hassle, for me.

That said if your selling for a really bargain price, you might get lucky.

Good luck what every way you decide to go.

Cheers Ginge

But people do appreciate splitting I certainly did ginge !

[gaz05]

Me too! Cheers ginge.

It's a shame you're thinking of giving up Ronnie. One thing is guaranteed though. It'll probably be the best welded chassis around!

Hi Ronnie,

That's a big shame you're thinking of quitting but as i know health and family always have to come first.

All the best with whatever you decide.....Andy

Just to thank you all for your input, it is much appreciated.

After some of the very kind words I have decided to persevere with my build for the time being.

It never fails to surprise me, just how much moral support can be had within this little community.
I treasure all of the offers of assistance & moral encouragement, a true community spirit that’s for sure

After spending the last month fighting the incompetence of our local planning office, my head has not been in a very good place & probably not the best time to make such a drastic decision that I will almost certainly live to regret.

On the good news front, the battle has been won & all is now good with the world ( thanks to a little help from a friend who just happens to be a planning consultant )

Even better news, I have finally managed to find a gearbox for my Vauxhall Redtop engine …. That should renew my interest, as they say, a little comfort spending can do a power of good

Not entirely given up on the MX5 idea …. If I lower the sights a little then there is no reason as to why I can’t keep my build & poodle about in a MX5.
There seems to be plenty of them about in the sub £1500 bracket.

The trick will be in convincing my good lady that it would be a good idea

Once again, thanks to all for the moral support & for bringing me back down to earth

Offer is still there, shout if you need a hand.
