After going that far with it, I personally would keep going.

I don't need to tell you that you'll never get what it's really worth if you sell it.

Keep it

You will get to the same stage with the next car if you get rid or break it

Such a shame that lately a lot of great cars are being broken up due to resale price not being good...

keep it! Once you've done the box you'll have a solid car that will be up to sti standards. Only thing to consider is the strength of the bottom end mine let go at 370bhp

I'll be the odd one out - Sell it /break it and upgrade to a hawkeye STI, then remap it and end up with more BHP and lots more torque, newer more comfortable, and much cleaner, and generally nicer car. just my 2 pennies worth.
