There is sooooo much more......sheesh. 99% of the work was done by myself.
NOTHING WAS LEFT OUT and essentially everything everywhere is brand new mechanically and sound Electrically - all new sensors, electric pumps -etc
The idea of this build was to make servicing the car easier, and having it be a Resto-mod track/show car - modernized everything possible while eliminating unwanted electronics etc

I can definitely make more $$ back if I parted it, but no time for that or space.

Also considering putting it on BAT but wanted to check if there is any serious interest here..

I am not expecting to get anywhere near what I have into it, but also not giving it away.. I have basically almost $80k into it including the the car which was purchased by me in 2001 for a whopping $8,000 and have had it since. It was my daily driver, then mountain carver, and so on which all fed my motorsports interest and led to my career (Automotive Engineering-Vehicle Dynamics/Performance/Consumption)
If I had the extra income, I would pay someone to finish it, and then try to finally enjoy it.. but this is not the case. Married life, debt, and so on. Crushed dreams yes... end of the world no...
So if you are serious, put yourself in my shoes and just realize I won't let all this go for 15k, but I don't expect 40k either as it's not finished.

Cheers,
Kev

Magic number seems to be 25k, this leaves tons of room to make serious coin parting it. aside from body work, the car needs about 15-20 hrs of labor to finish and get the engine fired up / broken in / and a shakedown of the car and installing the custom rs interior carpet kit etc. The drivetrain is fully installed. Plumbing fuel, electrics, oil, water, brakes remains along with installing the modified 87 turbo spindles, billet racing control arms and steering rack. The car will be a roller once the spindles, a arms and steering rack are installed. Rear 30mm torsion bars have been indexed and New poly bronze spring plate bushings with grease fittings already in place.
