As most of you know I have been trying to sell the car and havent had much luck. Winter is coming so I decided to part the car of all the performance stuff. I was trying to work a deal with someone local to me to buy all front brakes, suspension, TA, bolt in cage and harness, turn-key package. I totaled up in retail prices what it would cost me to replace everything and I just about fell over. aprox 4100 bucks. I never sat down to think really what in cost wise I had in all this stuff. Im going to miss the old girl. I will hold onto the car till the spring when sports car prices go back up and run it through the auction.

As you can tell Im kinda bumbed about doing this. The money I got so far is nice but, I hope I don't regret anymore doing this. Everything is sold that I posted less a few items. Then I move on to putting the motor back to stock and selling those parts. Some of the stuff went to a couple member here. Thanks

Glad I kept most of the stock pieces.

Sorry for the vent so to speak.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Its one of those thing that I need to do. Did I want to part the mods and the engine stuff. Nope!!! But once I started doing it there is no turning back.

I know how much I made so far. Just need to track down some rear suspension piece's, rear exhaust and good carpet.

Nape oh yeah I've done the parts breakdown too and yeah it was fun while it lasted. I guess this was really my first project car and my entry into road racing. Sad to see it go. But I could copy the setup again in the future.

Thanks to all my friends here.
