im in a bit of a dilema, i have to be honest my coupe has been a bit of a ginx to me. just a couple of couple of days agod my engine, gearbox, and turbo (gt28rs.86) got robbed after taking it out of the car.

i planned to go for 450-500bhp, but after all this stuff getting robbed everyones telling my to just get rid of it. Although it has been a bit of a ginx i still love my coupe, i just got it resprayed and spent shit loads on parts and things like that. if it do sell it i will make absolutly nothing and lose loads of money especially without an engine. so my question to you is do i get rid of it or do i keep it and carry on spending stupid ammount of money on a car that wouldnt sell for no more than 4k.
also i dont have the money to spend silly ammounts on a new car. this flipping engine getting robbed has put such a downer on me nothing ever goes right with the car no matter what i do. ill probably get my engine rebuilt and it'll probably blow within the week.

There's always things that can go wrong. I would personally try and get a quote from some reputed Coupe specialist to put the missing bits in there. If you buy a new / refurbished engine-gearbox-turbo, you will get warranty with those.

Maybe buy something small and cheap just for now, and keep the Coop as your project.
