I do not need it
I do not want to block my ramps by dismantling it for parts. I also do not have the space for a whole dismantled car.
I do not want to scrap it, what a waste !
I do not want to "break it" as it will block my ramps/space for the sake of a little part that has been removed.
I have a CX to work on over winter.
What to do then ?

Find a friendly neighbour who will store it for you over the winter.

Re: What to do with a spare V6 Activa ?
How rusty is it underneath? Is it a viable restoration project?
I have always had the idea that it would be nice to put Activa suspension on my V6, which is one of the better preserved RHD S1 examples. It would not be worth sacrificing a restorable V6 Activa for that.

Not a rot box but needs working "as a project"

Re: What to do with a spare V6 Activa ?
I like that
In a previous life and if it wasn't for how things are currently - and likely to be in the future, I'd have bitten your fingers off and make it a big restoration project...
I still say it's a viable project in the right hands... I'm just really sad they're not going to be my hands
I truly hope those right hands can be found

Re: What to do with a spare V6 Activa ?
Give it a thorough wash and brush up then put it on Gumtree or Ebay, you'll be surprised what a difference it can make.
Personally I'd break it, sell the saleable bits and weigh in the rest...………….. but then I've no sentiment when it comes to cars.

I would dearly love that as a project. But I wouldnt be able to pay for it after the divorce.
