BX 1: RCP - silver 1.9td estate. Suspension problem, knackered exhaust and Air in fuel. Bodywork horrible. MOT Jan 08.
BX 2: RLO - white 8v GTI. Exhaust knackered (have replacement), needs work around the front end wishbones, droplinks, bearings or something. Paintwork horrible, body ok. MOT June 08
BX 3: DYK - Triton Green TZD Turbo hatch. Front end nearside rattle at low speed, air leak in fuel lines somewhere, back sometimes goes a very creaky. Paint horrible, body ok. No MOT.
Now, its pointless me having 3. I can't run 3, I can only run 2 (maybe). RCP is the most practical for me and I'd really like to keep it, but its also going to be the biggest paint in the arse to fix. RLO is brilliant fun, the engine and suspension are excellent and apart from the paintwork its your typical BX GTI with everything working and a very strong engine. DYK is a standard 1.7td with perfect interior, straight fairly rust free body. Should be cheap to get back on the road and through an MOT.
Which one goes and why? I have hardly used the GTI since getting the estate, but I am rather attached. I would need to keep a second car if I had the estate as I couldn't go anywhere nice in it (its mingin, but perfect for what it does), so need one of the hatches. Pocket says TZD, heart says GTI.
Help me out here lads
