    1999 Twilight Blue - rough shape

    I'm wondering what would be a general price to ask for my NB. I was thinking of just selling it as a parts car, parting it out myself, or fixing it and selling it as a running car..

    Details:
    just shy of 300,000km
    very rusty - holes in rockers, frame is very rusty too
    tick in motor which seems like it is coming from the top end
    burns a lot of oil
    crank walk
    currently doesn't run, possibly fuel pump but will figure out what it is in the next few days.
    FM springs on old KYB AGX shocks
    Borla single tip muffler
    Damaged driver's side quarter
    Damaged driver's side front fender
    partially stripped interior.

    Just did:
    timing belt
    water pump
    serpentine belts
    vc gasket
    diff fluid
    trans fluid
    pads and rotors all around
    rear passenger caliper

    Damaged fender before hitting it back out with a hammer


    I would be keeping the rollbar for my NA. Has a hardtop that could be included for an added price.

    Any ideas of price?

    $800-$1,000 without the hardtop


    $1,500 with the hardtop

    The car itself is a mess, ridden hard, but away bleeding and wounded beyond repair.

    That's what I was expecting for a price. I'll be honest, I've driven this car very hard. It was meant to be a fun daily driver/beater and it lasted for 300,000km of hard use between my friend who was the PO and myself. Having said that, I don't know how comfortable I feel selling it to someone which is why I'm leaning towards a complete partout of the car, keeping some of the parts for myself.

    Complete part out coming up. Spun a bearing. Stripping the car down to the bare shell.

    Sorry to hear about it dying. You never did get to the 300k goal poor guy.

    Thanks Jim, so far it seems to be going pretty well with a lot of people requesting parts. We'll see home many of them actually follow through.

    Yea, that was probably one of the most disappointing parts of all of this, came so close! And then I wanted to do one final burnout in it right in front of my house, except as I put the clutch in to start the burnout it completely died and we could get it started up again.
