You should decide NOT to sell it. If you do, I think 26k would be reasonable!

HAHA! I wish!



Maybe I can keep it.. But right now I'm just trying to get an idea.



Oh - new wiring harness too... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

I'd pay 26k..



Actually, if you wanted to get like, 22k for it in August, I have a buyer fer ya

I'd do 22 in August.. Need a little while to get paint on anyway.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

Why paint it before you sell it?

So you can cry a little harder when it's going? lol

Well, if you decide to sell, let me know. I have a buddy that was looking for an all-stock FD when he returns from Iraq in August. He didn't want to deal with sorting out someone else's mods, but I think for this car he'd make an exception.. Afterall, your baby is exceptional! At least that way, you'd know the 7 is going to a great home with a loving owner. But really, don't sell her. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

does it run justin?

Soon Bobby.. Soon.



I have 2 weeks off school. Provided I can fund the new wiring harness, I'm going to put it back together during that time off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Once its running you wolnt sell it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I'd trade it for a 2002 WRX wagon if I were you. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



It's times like this I wish I'd just finish school and get some disposable income.

I would have to agree with this. My other FD sold for about 18k and I had that much in receipts.

I dont mean to start a arguement over it either, so lets nip that right here



Jim originally put his car up for sale at $25000, then asked 15, who knows what it sold for in the end?

I think Jim may keep his FC if it doesn't sell, or if it hasn't already sold...I dunno.



Knowing what I know now, I would of kept all my stock parts and put them all back on the car. Then sold off all the performance parts, and then sold the car as a stock FD for a few grand less than what it sold for. Could of easily made a few grand more that way, but I never kept any of the stock parts.

who wants to be bothered bolting all the stock **** back up anyhow



most people sell whatever stock **** they have once they remove it figuring they will keep the car forever and have no need for it anymore



I keep all spare parts figuring Ill pick up another car that might need some parts and use it on that to sell it.

People who don't mind turning a wrench to make a few bucks? I fall into the category of people who sold the stock parts thinking I'd have the car forever. Live and learn.

I have about a hour and a half of free time a day, I can think of better things to do then swap on stock parts to sell https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I hear ya, and don't blame you. Forget swapping parts....try restoring a car on your free time! I have my pickup completly tore apart, but I've been too busy/lazy to do anymore.

I just work on other people's cars and boats



I forget I have a boat of my own , or a basement full of parts waiting to go in the vert

Agreed.

I know what you guys mean about the price. I know pretty well I'm going to lose out. Honestly, I really don't want to sell it.. But the smelling like gas thing makes me crazy! I MAY try to put the AC back in so I don't have to have the windows down all the time.. Even though when working, the AC still sucks.



I have a **** TON of stock parts.. But I don't have the time. I kind of wish I would have left the car stock to begin with.. It was SO fun to drive!!



Like Bobby said- once I get the motor in I'll probably change my mind AGAIN.. WHo knows. But if I get a decent offer, I may have to let it go... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

I just felt like showing my motor. Damn pretty for an n/a 12a huh?
