Default BOTTOM END HAS GONE AGAIN !!!!

Hi guys just to let you all know that the bottom end has gone on the car again and only just taxed/mot'd and insured it lol and im thinking i will be breaking it this time as i think it's now time for a change plus spent to much money on it,
so will get to work stripping down very soon and will start a new thread on parts

Absolutely gutted for you Lee

After all the time effort and cash you've put into it! If breaking it really what you wanna do I've no doubt you'll sell the lot no problems!

If there's anything you need there's loads of people to give a helping hand

I'm gutted for you Lee.
You have put heart and sole into that car you must be as sick as a pig.

Any ideas what caused the failure as you built it with care and used all the right parts.

Sorry to hear that Lee. But these things are sent to try us. Stick with it.
You'll miss it when it's gone.

If you do decide to strip it let me know what you want for the 6speed.
Hopfully a good deal like you had when you bought it. LOL.

Sorry again. I know how you feel.
