TX Sell shell or Part out?

I have a S4 shell and I was wounder if I should just sell it as is or part out what I can. Which ever way would give me the most amount of money would be best. Trying to fix my S5 and I am low on funds so I have to get ride of this shell by one means or another

I'll take that drive shaft. Seriously, PM me.

No matter what , I think your looking at getting less-than-or-equal-to 1000 dollars either way.

Damn red se's.....

Do what i'm doing. Part the bitch out. However, i had a whole car to work with..... You might get around $300 either way.

I've got the same chassis, same color, same trim. I've raped just about everything from it but the transmission, glass, tails, front suspension and spoiler...... If i can't give the chassis a good home, i'm hacking it into tiny peices and taking it to the scrap yard.

Not saying you should do this but it's an idea......... It's really going to hurt to cut up a perfectly good chassis.

My front bumper on my gxl was hacked to **** like that too. IMO, i dont care how big of a fmic you want to run, that **** is retarded. Waste of a perfectly good stock bumper......

I have parted- sold- cut up- ect.. LOTS of rx-7's.. And I must say. I saw about $50 worth of parts. Strip the parts worth money (DS, Starter, electronics, scrap aluminum ect.... and then get $50 for it at the scrap metal yard. That car is a peice. OR if you have a good title sell the shell for $300. That is about all it's worth.

You could get a little extra if you restored the tails before you sold them. I did mine with about 7 dollars worth of materials. Easy as pie. Could make the difference between 5 dollars and 30.

They are Apex'i Shocks and some performance springs the previous owner use this car for drifting purposes. I have no idea what condition the suspension is in all I know is that he used it for drifting.

Well the general fell based off the poll is to do a part out so that is what I will do. Thanks everyone for your input.
