well, after buying an phase 2 sport with a buggered engine a while back, and finding more and more problems with the running gear side of things, i've now gone and bought a rotten phase 1 that's mid rebuild....


so now i've got to try and decide which car to make good from 2 bad ones, or if i should fix them both :cry:

Make one good one from them both and when thats done see what your left with, if its bits and peices sale it all. If there's not much needed to finish the second car then do it but I would make one good one first then at least you've got a car thats up together !

i think what i'll probably do is use the tech one engine to get the 2 running for now, as it's pretty solid then strip the tech 1 back to it's bare bones to see just what's needed.

I've learnt the hard way from the tech 2 not to trust other peoples work so would rather see where i stand from scratch, then decide if it's worth restoring or not. Mind you, if the other half takes a liking to it as she has the 2, i might not have a choice in the matter :chuckle:
