especially since it is your first, if you hack it up or sell it you know you will end up regretting it.
Because of the sheer amount of money required to put the black car back on the road in the condition I want to see it in. It's just not going to happen. Paint alone is going to be $4-5K, suspension will be around $3K+, FAST system to extract every last HP is another $2K, rear end is another $2.5K, and with our impending move, there's going to be a pay cut, and I won't have the money to dump into it without waiting for x amount of years, which I don't want.

The motor isn't built yet. Waiting on a couple more small parts and then it'll be completed. I already have the blower sitting here.

It's a hard decision to make, but I think I've decided to part it out. I talked to a couple of people whom have been here before, and they agree that the first one is always the hardest to get rid of and let go.
