If you have a little room and the panels are straight, it's always worth thinking of parting it out!

After i smash it to bits with my Lump Hammer i dont think it will be worth much!!
But seriously, if i did have the room and time i would of considered it.

But looks like its found a new home to give someone else a go at fixing it.

Cool

this sounds kind of funny...looking on the funny side...

youve got problems with your volvo down there somewhere....which i could probably sort.

and up here.....ive got problems you could probably sort..... ive been removing my wallpaper with a steamer and guess what....the plaster has come off the wall !!!

something which started out to be a little job.... renewing my coax cable for my tv..it wouldnt thread through the hole, so had to chase the wall to put a new pipe in for the cable to run through. couldnt put it in the cavity cos i just had cavity wall insulation last year...

upstairs and downstairs...going to have to get a few buckets of plaster on it, then sand and paint....aggggg.

so ive got a good idea about how you feel....

thought id tell you to cheer you up, lol

That's good news anyway. Sorry you couldn't get it sorted.I've been following your thread and sometimes there does come a point where you have had enough and you cut your losses. I've been there and it aint nice.

Lmason, have fun there mate ! I would gladly come do it for you if i was close by, but 520 mile round trip is maybe just a little too far for me mate !

Hope you sought it out....

UN ****ING BELIEVABLE...This guy with a Galant has been on my case for the past week about a Swap with my T5.... I Decided to go for it as i need a working car.
Spoke to him yesterday and arranged for him to come today to do the swap, by the way he is a Mechanic.
He just Text me to say that he has changed his mind as he thinks it will be too much of a Headache for him to sought out !!??!!
Was totaly honest with him and even gave him the chance to go on here and read all my posts...

Luck of the Irish my arse!

So the T5 is once again up for grabs...£350, cant go any less guys..
Or a SWAP with anything with Mot.....I am in North London (Barnet)
I would prefere you come to me if its a Swap.....Maybe a Trailer to get it from A too B If your coming from any Long Distance !!

Thanks again for everybodys help..But now only Interested in Getting Rid of!!
