im in the same boat as you mate. bout my VTR then found out its got alot of work aswell.... might try and sell it when i get a full quote...:(

[scottyvtr]

Fix it!!!!

any of you're freinds mechanically minded ????

if not get the parts yourself and ask a garage to fit them, and get the window and fit it you're self!!!!

[sexysaxogirl]

i can get all the mechanic bits done for free just have to buy parts

[scottyvtr]

oh well theres your ans then get the thing fixed, just shop around and get the best price or go a bit dearer and uprate bushes etc but yeah fix fix fix fix!!!!! :y:

[sexysaxogirl]

is it worth it tho saxo's have dropped in price so much its not worth much more then 1500 if it was clean and would need a grand spent to make it clean.

[kenny]

fix it imo. looks a decent car.
love the wheels on it :y:

If it was me and i was getting all the labour done for free i would put the car back on the road. I think if it needed a new cam i would take the opportunity and buy an uprated one while i was on. You have allready suggested replacing the shocks and springs with uprated parts. This is another good idea because your going to be replacing them anyway so you might aswell put better ones on. Apart from the cam shaft and suspension the anti roll bar is probably going to be the next most expensive thing to fix. Side windows should be pretty cheap from a scrap yard or a Citroen breakers. All you need to do then is sort out the body work side of things.

its the cam belt not cam lol

[Tim_W]

oh i see what you mean cam and fan belt not cam and fan belt :D. Its just the way i read it. So whats the deal with the cam belt then ? Did it snap or is it just due to be replaced because of mileage ?

Fix it, its not that bad really, and if you know people who can do it for cheap labour? Then its all good.

All the fuss of breaking it and getting another car would be an effort aswell. Fixing it at least you know its fixed and should be ok for some time to come (hopefully)

[sexysaxogirl]

just needs cambelt done 70000 miles and not been changed so its due to snap if u beleive the 60000 mile rule

It is a good idea to get it replaced yes. I had mine done on the VTR and it cost £100 supply and fit, which i thought was reasonable at the time. A fan belt is pretty cheap aswell, especially if your getting the labour done for free.

Like i said i would put the car back on the road myself :y:

fix it! :D but if anyone els is in the same boat but deffo wants to sell maybe a westcoast or vtr, im looking for a winter project pm me

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

id help fix it up;) keep it and get it sorted, it wont cost much if you no people that no people. mine dont cost much at all, i bought the car £850 and iv had a clutch and 2 new tyres n 2 services 1 with a cambelt and it only cost a grand in total, basically the bits.

[Proffitt]

Fix it :y:

[steven1451]

fix it love the wheels

[Ste-88]

As much as I'd like to say sell, just to make you an offer on the wheels, I'll have to say FiiiiiX!

[Pat_Vts]

fix it

sell the wheels put vtr ones on, sell morettes (theyre the 2 expensiv parts on the car)

make money back on it then later sell the car itself:)

if that helps

[Marshy]

Fix it! :y:

[jacko87]

I'd say sell, but depends on the time and money you have I guess. If you are patient, love the car and have cash to get it fixed then keep :y:

[shawy]

Fix it:y:

[sexysaxogirl]

can u get cheap blow overs rather then a respray

[Rogz]

as in full body work? wudnt recommend it.... get it porta cabled tbh

[sexysaxogirl]

what is porta cabled

[sexysaxogirl]

what is porta cabled anyone

[jonathon5]

fix it, if not sell me the wheels LOL.

Shouldn't cost 2 much to fix, i have just bought my first vts & it i just got the cam belt done for £100 inc oil & filter as well

[Mattt-VTR]

Fix it if you have the money.

[dynebaruk]

Fix it for definite, use some womanly charm to persuade someone to do the jobs for you, depends how much money you've got to throw at it mind.

Like everyone else is saying though, LOVE the wheels!! :D

Edit: Just read the thread again and realised you've got someone who can do the work. Get some of them parts from a scrappy then stuff like the cambelt (£30 for full kit), fan belt (£3) and the gasket from a motor factors.

[saxokid100]

Looks good,shame not to fix it dude...........:fcuk::y::p

[Darlo-paul]

Fix it, lovely little car looks really well done.

[sexysaxogirl]
