Considering parting my TII
Mods please leave this in 2nd gen as I am not parting it out yet, rahter seeing if I could sell it if I did...
So would there be an interest if I were to do this. This is a complete car minus the shortblock. car is in SUPER cosmetic shape both in and out, ask anyone whos seen it. I could sell the whole thing minus engine, but I feel that the car would be far more helpful to other people this way as well as more profitable to me.
Would this be worth my trouble?

If I could get a decent amount out of it as is, I would. Unless that happens...I dont think Im gonna sell it whole.

Yo,
Tsk tsk...no fortitude in the boy. You throw the GTUs Whammy on the kid...his motor blows...now he's ready to jump ship.
*wink*
I'm kidding bro...I wouldn't part it out...I'd just throw a new motor in...a stand alone...and call it good.
You already have a platform that's extremely capable, in great shape, and just needs a new heart.
Sack up and throw a new motor in there!
There's hardly any nice S4 TII's out there...probably less than FD's in your area.
In all honesty, I can't recommend getting an FD to anyone. They're money pits, plain and simple. If you thought blowing one motor is bad...try multiple motors in the FD. Nightmare.
I can understand the sex appeal of the car, it's gorgeous, but the FC has a certain appeal to it.
In summary: Don't do it!
Who am I going to tease if you leave?!

Don't kill it, your car is to nice to part out. I totally feel you on getting burnt out with FC's, I too plan on getting an FD as soon as I graduate. J-specs are only $750 just throw one in, and loose a couple hundred dollars, when I parted my car (s5 NA) and it was a huge pita, first stripping the car, than dealing with all the retards that are interested in buying parts, then when you sell them you have to worry about shiping.

So what do you guys think the chances are of me selling the WHOLE car w/ the engine included....but with the engine out of it? Id be willing to do that and it has plenty of goodies to go along with it...
Its a complete car, just in pieces.

Why not just install the engine and sell the thing whole and running. It would be more work to strip it, and there would be one less nice TII on the road.
