Restoration or Sell..(are there any restorers in the NW)

[zoso11]

Thanks to RS2000CUSTOM for helping me out getting to here, posted this on PF AND TS

Heres the long and short of it..

Ive got my accident claim compo thru.. so i wouldnt mind the body on my rs to be fully restored, or put back 2 mint rather, it aint that bad. after that il use ma change to go nuts with it and and have new axel, diff, wheel, brakes etc etc

But there seems to be nothing at all up here, i live in Warrington Cheshire, everything seems to be darn sarf or a stone throw away from france (essex)..

Cars SORN and not like i can tralier it round 2 get estimates as

1) i dont have a tow bar

2) I dont have a trailer

3) and have only ever tow started a car, neva towed a trailer in ma life


So i cant help but think sell the RS and buy sumfin thats 101% mint, oldskool and naughty, theres a blue mk1 with a cossie engin in on ebay, not buying that but thats the idea..
