I am trying to see if it is worth fixing the LS1 on my car, or selling it as essentially a 'roller' with an engine in it, due to needing lifters and cam, and getting an econobox (Fiesta ST).

It is a 2000 M6 hard top, ordered with NO options (has crank windows, no power anything, and not even a rear window defroster!), the A/C is out of the car to the dash stuff.

The (black) paint is decent for a car with these miles, and it has;

Pro 5.0 shifter

Koni DA fronts with GC/Eibach coil over conversion (650#)

Koni SA rear with Strano Vogtlands (150#)

Strano 35mm hollow front bar with UMI alloy mounts, 1LE 21mm rear bar with ES mounts

ES endlinks all around

Random Tech adjustable torque arm (but stock, trans mounting point)

Turn One pump w/alloy pulley

Ram aluminum flywheel, LS7 clutch with Tick Performance clutch speed bleeder

3.73s with Eaton carbon clutch pack Posi

LT1 radiator

Odyssey/Die Hard group 78 AGM battery

Sparco model 383 suede steering wheel installed on a Momo 2401 hub

2 sets of wheels, both 16x8, with almost new street tires mounted (BFG Comp 2s/Super Sport all seasons)

any thoughts??

Time to save up for a move. That Homos Ass crap got old fast. Sorry, that's a sensitive point for us.

Unfortunately, you're basically giving the car away as a roller, since it's nothing out of the ordinary. Even a 1LE, or B4C car, no one is buying projects these days.

Yes, tell me about it.

These uppity, elitist, pseudo-affluent, f-tards (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/bigun2.gif) managing this place (but also it's the prevalent attitude in this WHOLE area) seem to think that ANY show of, anyone working with their OWN two hands is a sign/display of 'low class trashiness' or something, EVEN IF it were a wealthy man enjoying his chosen (automotive) hobby!

Yep, been there, experienced that. In our 'old neighborhood', our neighbor converted their garage to a family room, retaining the operating garage door there the area was converted to a small storage area. They also added a carport. The hoa Nazis slapped them with a 'must remove' order, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A 4-CAR CARPORT ON OUR PROPERTY RIGHT NEXT DOOR. The hoa was pissed that they didn't 'get permission' to build it first.

When my Dad passed away, and I was processing the estate, I discovered the house had a lien on it because the grass wasn't cut often enough for their liking. He was an 80-year-old man living by himself. They didn't bother to come by and see if he needed any assistance, just wanted to make sure their precious little homes didn't loose value because there was a house in the neighborhood with long grass. We sicked our attorney on them and they vacated the lien.

Getting a place without a hoa was the first requirement when we were house hunting. We got a great place in the county with a couple of acres. Sure, there's an abandoned trailer home down the street, and a couple of rental properties across the street that sometimes don't get the maintenance they need, but I can keep my garbage can on the driveway and some nameless, faceless lawyer won't be sending me a letter about it. If my neighbor doesn't like it, he'll tell me.
