New Year New Dilemas
Discussion
In a seperate post Ive detailed some of the stripdown of my S2 which Ive had for 20 years, the minimal repairs to the chassis, its North Sea protection and return to the green storage shed. Whilst all this goes on, my Subaru Series McRae has turned into a far bigger resoration and Ive had a few health things going on.
1) Like others, is it time to admit its a failing project and look for someone to buy it (Anyone?)
2) Stick with it but do a Jag V6 engine conversion (coupled with an auto box (I know that was another thread)), problem is limited availability of engineering, can any of the owners of the cars that have been done provide a set of bits to bolt or weld it all together, Is there anyone who would take on the conversion at a cost that wont get me a divorce
Bear in mind I am in the North East of Scotland and getting any sort of specialist on anything up here is just not happening

Keep the Subaru. That is an appreciating classic with a huge cult following. The TVR is neither. Just an old-man's, old sports car, that was bettered by the Griffith and Chimaera that replaced it, and they are cheap too. TVR's cost you money. The Subaru will make you money.
That very much depends on your view. To me, Subarus are driven by people who are would be rally drivers but in reality would be dangerous in charge of a shopping trolley! I wouldn't be seen dead in one!! I wouldn't rely on any car being an appreciating classic either at the moment. The market for all cars is pretty grim!! Each to their own as always!!keynsham said:
