Thread: Part out or repair to sell?

Well it's been a couple months and nothing has really changed.. Coming across time and money is difficult. So I'm faced with 2 options really... The GTP's got rod knock and a blown trans. with rusted out rockers. Also needs an alignment and tires.. As is I've only gotten an offer for $350. I could make that off JUST the supercharger and the SLP mufflers.., and then get another $350 in scrap.. So I'm wondering if I should just part out the thing, or replace the engine and trans and hope to get $1500 out of the shell?

I'm heavily leaning toward part out...

Part out

Take whats valuable and scrap it. You can find another one for cheap and build that.

Edit: i just looked at your thread. That body looks good ide keep it get a trans and engine for cheap. Build them and toss them in.

The rear towers are mint.. The rockers though are gone... from the front to the back.. the entire drip edge is a hole. yeah it looks great, but that's about it..

Whichever path is chosen the car is being sold. I'm looking into getting an MX5 Miata.

I would just part it out and scrap it. As much as I hate to say it. Rocker rust/rod knock/trans work..3 major areas that need work and there's not to many guys that are going to take their time/money to repair all 3 just to get it back up running. For that kind if money you can buy a running and driving one that needs minimal work.

You will be much better off just parting it out.
