to be honest I rarely use them as the Porsche and the Ur are just so much more fun..What have you done or not done with your suspension set up?

Lol, I have been very lucky.. to be honest I rarely use them as the Porsche and the Ur are just so much more fun..

Darren! Now this is just not fair! You have the best of both worlds
As for selling, still thinking, but tending to think SOD it, lets keep the quattro and polish it a little more, the small things you do can often be the most satisfying. The suspension can still be improved a little, and then I can enjoy driving it harder than ever, maybe even brave a trackday.
Still want a muscle car that handles though! (if there is such a thing)Leave a comment:

Valid points Darren, I think I have a bit of a V8 and Classic itch that I want to scratch though. The quattro is so fast I sometimes wonder if I would have just as much fun in something with lots of feel good factor, head turning looks and V8 rumble.
I always think that a lot of cars sound like a good idea, but you never really know till you have actually drive one, which is easier said than done for most classics.
I rode shotgun in a Shelby GT350 at a circuit once, and I was impressed how together it felt, the 289 V8 revved quite well and the handleing seemed quite balanced. The Falcon is also campaigned with a lot of sucess in historic racing.
GT40 is a dream car for me, although I suspect the practicalities of using one must be a nightmare!?
Still, I don't know if I can bare to do it! I have invested so much time money and effort into this car to make it my own.Leave a comment:

I have always thought mine is worth about 20k if people want standard that is fair enough, but their is a big market for non standard especially when you drive a non standard one vs standard.I would like to think it's closer to 20 than 9 grand. If you look past the mods, this is a very straight car that still at least looks original. There are plenty of duffers out there that's for sure.
If I do put it up for sale then I will be looking at something very different, such as a 1965 Ford Falcon Sprint, maybe with a highly modded engine or some kind of crate v8
I'm such a car nut that my mind is always on the go about various different cars with my"imaginary" budget
I don't think I will part with mine, the v8 won't do it for you.. I have a v8 cobra and a v8 gt40 neither are anywhere close to the ur and if they were the suspension design would probably kill you. To be fair the gt40 can handle and it has circa 400bhp but traction is a problem...
Any way it's your choice get on and enjoy whatever you do..

I think you will live to regret it! You will get another car and then just start modding again... it's an addition of sorts.
flog the focus instead

About 18-22k I should think .Been having fun, but I keep daydreaming about other cars too.
Not sure I could bring myself to do it, but what do you guys think I could sell my car for?
Not exactly the ideal time to sell.
Quattro values have firmed up quite a lot recently trhough.
Of course the scary bit is how much I have spent on the car in the 6 years that I have had it...
But I think your nuts to do so .Leave a comment:
