Advice needed - Selling my FB "project car"

I purchased this car a number of years ago and it was in working condition, of course I could not leave good enough alone and decided to strip it down to paint it. Well a wife and 3 kids later that never happened. I do not really need to sell it, but I could use the freed up space in my garage. I have been wanting to sell it complete, but I have been getting some request to part it out. I have been away from the forums for awhile and I am not sure what would be a fair price to ask for some of the following items.

13B which has been painted red and rotor housing polished. Also, it has been bridgeported and has a Racing Beat intake system with a carburetor on it.

Racing beat full exhaust system.

GSL-SE rear axle assembly.

Any advice that you guys can offer is greatly appreciated.

I will try to get a better picture of the motor later today, but this is what I have for now.

1984 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE. 5-Speed Manual. 13B rotary engine. 4-Wheel disc brakes, 128,286 Miles on body.

-Rebuilt and bridgeported 13B (engine was manufactured in 1994). Less than 5,000 miles on the rebuild.
-The engine has been polished and painted red.
-Intake system has been converted to a Holley Carb/Racing beat intake system.
-Racing beat parts installed; Racing Beat front and adjustable rear sway bars, front and rear springs, exhaust system, Holly intake kit.
-New wheels and tires. 17" bronze Nexo wheels. Two (2) 205/40/R17 front tires four (4) 215/45/17 rear tires (two mounted, two dismounted). Less than 100 miles on wheels and tires.
-New brake rotors and pads.
-New Tokico HP front and rear struts.
-MSD Ignition.
-Holley fuel pump.
-Summit racing battery relocation kit.
-New carpet included with sale.
-Factory GSL-SE wheels are included with sale.

There is some rust on this car. The front of the right fender has rust as well as some damge (pushed in about an inch). There is rust along the bottom of both doors and some rust below the passenger side tail light. The sunroof is rusted out and would need to be replaced.

The interior of the car is currently removed, but will of course be included with the sale. I had removed the interior in prep to install the new carpet, and I was also planning on repainting the car. The body side mouldings and running light have been removed as well.

All work was professionally done by Autowerks Motorsport in Madison Heights, MI.

I would say, maybe $1000.00 if you find the right buyer. Projects unfinished are hard to sell for any real
money. What was the goal? Track car?

Is $1,000 a reasonable price for the motor, Racing Beat intake, and Racing Beat full exhaust?
