I have owned my 197 for around 8/9 months now and ill be honest i love it. For all of her imperfections, she is a unique and fantastic car.
Problem is she is looking to hit the wallet quite hard this month, she's due a cambelt change (well If I'm honest she's overdue) and i was thinking on giving her a service as well so shes all freshened up.
Then last sat i find the paint and lacquer peeling on the bonnet which is looking to cost me upwards of 300 notes. (courtesy of a small stone chip)
To top it all off i came out this morning to a flat on one of my newly purchased front tyres (around 2 months ago).
This is a real test now and i have to choose whether i poor alot of money in to get her back to a reasonable shape or i cut my loses, get the paint done and then get rid . What do you guys think?
