It has been a while(many years) since I did anything other than look at my Ultima chassis. All that time I'd peek about here, dreaming, wishing for a lotto win and sometimes forgetting I had parts of an Ultima already. When I bought the first few parts, I had started a small business selling car parts, with the plan to use the profits to build the car. All was going well until the economy went down the toilet....
Fast forward a few years and the car is still hiding at the back of my parents shed. I have been renting for years, never with a garage unfortunately, so spanner time on the Ultima was minimal. Cash flow was worse. However, finally I am about to move into a house we own, well the bank does. I hope to build a garage and get cracking again, as funds allow.

My dilemma is that the chassis has started to look the worst for wear, sitting for years in a damp shed wasn't the best place for it I know. I don't have a lot done so far, alloy panels, wishbones, pedals and thats about it.
I am wondering if I should sell what I have and just save up and buy a used one or soldier on?

Thanks for your advice Paul. Even though it isn't something I wanted to do, it makes sense. If I continue to build upon it, I'd probably regret it down the line. The hard truth is that it'll realistically be a couple of decades until I can afford to buy all the bits in one hit or a complete car. Ah well.
Anyone want to buy a chassis and some other bits?
