2005 Bf Xt Ute - Keep or Sell?
G'day everyone, looking for some wisdom.
I've currently got this 2005 Bf falcon XT ute, with around 260000km on it, BTR 4 speed, 2.5 inch catback, full FPV bodykit (badly fitted by previous ownder), reverse camera, small subwoofer, full upgraded facia, upgraded speakers and thats it. The body itself is in pretty solid condition (small amount of damage front right on bumper (no idea what happened)), and mechanically very solid as well, with a full service history.
I only paid 6k for it, and bought it purely because it's an Australian icon and something like this will never exist again. Also bought it because it was automatic (city things). But I just keep wishing it was more.
It's a 4 speed auto, so its quite a sluggish gearbox but still fun to drive on mountain roads, but everyday I wish it was manual. I just don't know what to do with it. I have so many things that I would love to do with it, turbo, manual swap, LSD, etc., and so far every mod thats been done to it has been a learning experience with me and my friends, so for that alone this car is quite special to me.
I don't know whether it's worth keeping this car and looking after it, building it into something special. Or selling it, and buying even just a clean manual xr6 ute.
All opinions welcome, cheers
