the project always seems like a "good" idea, until you realize that you will dump 3x what they can sell for 
this car has so much money into it. Brakes and suspension alone are over $10k just for parts. start adding up the rest and you'll see the car has over $30k in it. Over the life of the car the number is doubled
and it sells for 1/3...HA HA gotta love it!
pretty typical of modding and then selling, lol

I'm soooo tempted. You'd save me so much time, trouble and $$$. Wife is a dingy, she can't see the big picture. She did the same thing with the Porsche. Yeah go ahead and buy, no you can't have any money for it. I can't even get a loan cause I had to co-sign for my mother-in-laws house. I'm really starting to get tired of being screwed.

Oh dayamn! Depending on how year end bonus goes and if this car is still around at that point, I will seriously consider buying it! Definitely would be 1000x cooler that my otherwise planned vehicle of purchase

My brother has an empty shop I'd be happy to store it there and make sure the fluids get turned every now and again. haaa.
oh and yeah... anyone that thinks offering less than the asking price is necessary is dumb. You can barely find crappy swapped GC8's for under $13k and this one has a legit cage in it along with all the right bits. Hell the Ohlins alone are what you'd pay just to get started on one of these.
GREAT BUY. GREAT CAR.
Seriously Kevin. If you need storage you know you can trust me. I'll make it happen. My brother has 2 shops on his property. I've got a garage and a carport. Etc. Have fun traveling.
I'm sure for you they'd hold it for you. I mean... hell....
It didn't quite look like that when I sold it to them.
Yeah, we have talked. I would love the car, always have. I will be traveling for the next 12 months, maybe longer. I could not buy it, and then park it for a year. I'm having are hard enough time storing my motorcycle while I'm traveling. As I said to Noah, the car will find a owner deserving of it.

o boy I bought my car with an ancient JC sports kit on it, custom topmount and everything. I think I even have a receipt from LIC a previous owner had.....and now it's all grown up with a EJ255 in it.
This car reminds me of the time I've spent upside down contorted sideways in my swap, cursing. That and how ballin' it is now.
16k is an awesome price
