Thumbs down Think it's time to say R.I.P zss

I think I've had enough I'm sick looking at my car in bits,bolts every were,missis always going on I spend more time with the car than her,not having just enough money to fix it run it,I chopped my finger off about year and half ago but was off work so long the car went down hill cosmetic mostly the bearings in the supercharger are drying up so needs to be sent off to be done I'm looking at couple thousand just get it looking puka again plus money fixing engine,I'm behind on bills just can't see way out but just giving up now,sticking with my 1.4 polo cheap fuel insurance tax parts hassle and I don't care about it,just so hard I love it so so much I have no interest other than me car I work so hard for it and am worried if I stop with my baby my work will fall. Sick filling so bloody depressed and not wanting to do anything

It's a common problem... In my humble opinion do a bit at a time but keep the car on the road as much as possible! I have managed to repair 2 BRMs (one was shocking condition) and keep them both on the road! An MGBGT that needs some real TLC but it's still on the road and wow it's fun (re spray next year)! Press car BRM that I got road worthy and now do a bit here and there to get it back to its original condition but its still on the road! That's the key for me, if you can't drive it you don't enjoy it and cars are for driving!!
Don't give up, it's will be worth it!

Keep the faith brother.you will regret getting rid .I bought another 180 so I could put my original one in the garage and overwinter it.I now spend more time on the second one lol.they just don't allow you to let go.

Get rid. A car's a car - that's all. If it's affecting your quality of life - prioritise what means the most to you and stick to it. Look at the positives in what you have - there is one other known supercharged ZS running. No other superchargers on the market as far as we know.

There is value in what you have whether that is keeping it in the shed until funds allow and taking your time in the project, or selling up to clear debts or pay bills.

Depression is a terrible thing - not just for you - but also for those who love you and see you suffer. It's not a phrase or condition to be treated lightly. If it's serious get some help.

If you've not got a garage, then id get a soft cloth cover, and then a waterproof one, and wrap the lot up, it will stop the elements getting at it while it is outside...

If you have to sell to clear your debts then, that sucks, but life at times does need to get prioritised.

As said though by others, go see your GP if you find everything in general is getting on top of you, talking it out with some-one can sometimes be the thing you need to stop it all seeing like a disaster... depression is a ******, I suffer from it periodically, and the down turns really can kick my ass!

I'd agree with storing it, and coming back to it later - I've sold several of my cars, and regretted it later on.
If you can, of course...
