Slowly getting there.
Fitted the 230s I picked up from True Blue. Opted to fit 245 35 rears to maintain some degree of comfort and protect against cracked rims (hopefully...). Really pleased with the look and the initial drive showed the ride to be no worse than the 18s I've taken off.

Here in Summer when it's too hot I sometimes wash it at night and then find I missed a bit the next day
washed it , and then it rained 
Filled up the washer fluid, because yet again, I have a leak from the headlamp washer. This time it's the passenger side.
Definitely going to break the car for parts. Can't be bothered with the unreliability anymore. It's fine for a weekender, but definitely not a daily driver that needs to get me to work and back without issue.
Off the top of my head, there's about £1500 alone just in parts, so thats about 50% of what I wanted back for the car anyway. Clutch/flywheel, service, exhaust repair, headlamp washer etc will cost £1500 too, so makes sense to break it.
Going to most likely order a fiesta/focus in 1.0 guise needs must. Need rear seats and doors, aswell as something that won't let me down anymore.

I think at £1500 you may be under what you can return from breaking these cars.
Yes a lot of hassle advertising, stripping & posting but as "synthedup" showed very recently there is demand & the ££ soon adds up.
Your bespoke roof alone should see a decebt return?

Quite possibly. I forgot to add the bilstein b4 shocks and eibach springs also. It was just a ballpark figure that makes me care less about fixing everything :lol: I put the price of the roof down as 300 quid, but could possibly get more. Cost me over a grand
It will be extremely sad to break it for parts, but I feel that's the best way to get a decent amount of money back. Selling it as is will probably only bank me 700 quid maximum.
I don't think the missus would appreciate a torn down motor on the driveway though :lol:
