Sounds like a plan and that it’ll come back stronger 
That makes sense looking at that one valve without a head, so at least you know the rest of the build was most likely ok and its “just” a part failure.
What springs were they ?
Supertech
Breaking car down complete, PM if interested in anything at all.
What ???
Yes…WHAT!!!
Eh?? You what 
Lol end of the line. Thinking long term now 
Few too many shandys? 
Not really Will, I feel I’m enlightened enough to move on to pastures greener. Some of that thanks of course is down to you.
Mate… looks like you have hit a wall here?
IF you are serious… OMG.
Seriously, how about pitting a standard GZZ (or whatever you S2 guys call the 190 Toyota lump) and selling it as an amazingly modded car… I don’t think it would be big bucks to source and fit a donor engine, and N/A 190’s seem to be making good money ATM. Surely yours with all the TLC and bits would be highly sort after… 23k ++??? (more than breaking down the car??)
Dont rush dude ok. There will be lots of options better than breaking me thinks…
Pete 
Seriously Pete, it’s cool. Think long term buddy.
… well yes, you DO have an appreciating asset in your S1!!! 
Indeed 
Sure you’ve thought long and hard over it, so you going to sell the tub etc?
So come on…what’s the plan buddy (long-term I mean)?
Tub and V5 sold already Tim.
Dave I’m just too busy at home with three kids, full time and part time work. I want to make a stonkingly good job of the S1 so felt breaking the car would maximise profit, further educate and provide closure to move on in two years with…and this is an initial thought only a 211 or R300 lol…
Well you can get an N/A 211 and N/A rocks LOL!
Makes a certain amount of sense I have to say mate… best of luck with it!.. just seems a real shame after all your hard work.
Let’s not get sentimental lol. Do you still want a seat? I need to let Gary & Yvonne the other one is ready!
