Rebuild the engine and get it on the road. You'll enjoy the challenge and we will enjoy seeing you graze a knuckle along the way. 😆👍

Rebuild the engine reusing the fun parts but strengthening or replacing stuff, like valve guides/springs (?), rings, bearings, seals.

Do the budget build keep it under 1k and get it to the ring then break for parts

Rebuild the engine and document the journey turning it into a track car

👀

make it a track car Andy - will be great fun and loads of great content :)

Keep it on the road looks to good to break 👍

Insurance categorisation is a topic that always elicits opinion, often with limited understanding beyond the label of “write off.” When a vehicle is classified as Category N (rather than the older C or D), it indicates relatively recent damage to a vehicle that is almost 25yrs old. However, the availability of parts play a crucial role in an insurance company’s ability to repair the vehicle. If parts are unavailable, the car may automatically be categorised. But there’s more to the story: a garage’s willingness to undertake repairs also factors in. Don't fail the car like the insurance company did based on what they typed into their calculator or perhaps because they couldn't get a grille as everything had gone honeycomb, take some time to establish if the car is worth saving on it's merits. I hope to see the car back on the road and sold for a fair some of money.

Consider me in class. Up front. I raced with a normal engine facing forward and rear wheel drive. My other current car is the same with a six speed and four doors. Now this. I don't have a clue about sideways. I've looked at diagrams and drawings with little help. I am your most attentive student.

Nice purchase if you decide to scrap it i will take the wheels, but if it was, mine cheap engine swap, thrash it around the ring, and sell for parts, you will probably come out above even!

Get it back on the road Andy, get another as a parts car 👌

Get it on the road interested to see engine rebuild

I don’t mind if you break it or fix fit. It will be interesting . I think though because of your competitive nature you should find out if you can track day it or race it. This would get expensive though😢

Fix the engine and get it back on the road! Next stop soon after it being a track car would likely be the crusher. It looks too good for that.

Watching 👍🏻😉

Track car for the ring :) build it bigger and better

Put it back on the road👍

If you can trailer it to track days then get a 2nd hand engine to swap in, strip the interior and sell to get some money back, if the skirts are good have them for your v6 and put the v6 ones on the black one and rattle can them black. If it still has a cat, remove and sell it/weigh it in and fit a decat. Have some fun with it and won't have to worry if you over cook it as its going home on a trailer anyway plus no need to get it mot otherwise break it for parts, there's still plenty of mk1s out there no point getting a cat n road worth again.

Excellent mate! Give me a shout if you need a hand / bit of labour should you take it on as I know a little bit about them ;-)

Thanks for another awesome vid If? You do this to start to sell it for parts.I'm after a left hand door to a card I'm in australia , but happy to pay for postage Obviously if the dog card isn't good condition thanks again 😉

Hi Andy, in my opinion break it and get a better one.

Put it back on the road , but do flat out mods like full custom rap. Massive big wing and do the engine swap like a tdi swap !

Track car 🕺

Rebuild engine and put it back on the road as although cat n its not structural or make a track car 👍🏻

Andy if you not aware bangers and cash yesterday tv had a mk1 225 you can watch it on catch up

Weird sound on sections of this, your voice just coming out of the left speaker (more noticeable with headphones). CarVertical's a good site with the vehicle check. Good luck with the rebuild.

Well its going to be good for content that's for sure. Number plate is on the wall of your garage😉 interesting MOT history, and its just passed! If the seats are black, in good nick, and you do break it, let me know. Good luck sir. I reckon track car...then you can mod it without guilt😉

I just bought a mk1 TT as a project as well and I’m about to buy the oil catch can and Tip so if you decide to break it let me know but in your position I would make it a full track car

Not quite the cheapest..my mums husband gave me his denim blue 225 last month for free as he struggles driving manuals with his health...it needs a bit of tlc paintwork wise, needs driveshafts at somepoint(which he gave me also) but other than that just went through the mot with just a couple of advisories..looking forward to playing with it over the summer 😁

Great idea on a project video however I’m sure I’ve seen cheaper running and driving for the money

Couple of 240 qs engines on ebay less than a 1000 at the moment

Create a track car of it

I have a very important question about my tt, maybe someone can help me
