Thinking of parting out/selling the car

Hey guys,

Many of you are aware of the difficulties I have been having getting my car up and running....

I simply do not have the time to take on projects of this magnitude. My work is being affected (I am expected to work 60 hour+ weeks), and I have recently heard that I will have to move out, so frankly I cannot afford to continue this. I will have nowhere to work on my car anyhow.

In short trying to do this motor swap given my current circumstances has been a costly mistake.

If any of you are interested in the aftermarket parts on the car let me know. Just gauging interest for now - I don't really have time to put everything up for sale so I may just leave this for a few weeks and deal with it later.

Yep but you have a garage to put the car in and work on it, and a spare car to drive around .

I have neither.... and I also need to buy an apartment hehe.

the headers are RK Sports however they are reserved for rybar at this time.... the suspension, rear end, 383, and AFRs are reserved for Johnny right now.....

However I want to say that me going ahead and selling the car isn't 100% - I just need time to think about it. The biggest thing holding me back is the fact that I have spent so many hours working on it.

The most likely course of action for me to take is to let the car sit for a month or so and then take it to a mechanic and let a professional sort this **** out.

Thanks for the offer man, I will send you a PM...

I have no problems letting the bird sit for a while. I will look into buying a beater in the meantime, and make an insurance claim to cover the fire damage.

94zman: the Borla is also reserved for rybar . however its looking less likely that I will sell the car now...
