How much would you pay for this?

This is my FC, i'm having second thoughts about it.

I'm about to have the motor swapped to a JDM TII.

87' SE Painted Black less than 1 month ago, door sills are still grey.







Brand New Earl Scheib Paint Job w/ 6 Year Warranty(200 miles)
Brand new carpet, and floor mats (200 miles)
Fake "Nismo" Racing Seats
TII Hood
S5 Tail Lights
Spoiler
Rota 16" Bronze Wheels (200 miles)
Falken 512 225/50/16 in the Rear (200 miles)
Falken 512 205/50/16 in the Front (200 miles)
RSR Race Springs (200 Miles)
[TII JDM Motor]

How much would you pay for this? Just testing waters

That paint job is beautiful, it takes work to pull off black that smooth, looks like glass. Keep it and finish the project. The car has some potential.

Very nice paint. I would say after the TII swap, probably between 4-5K.

Paint Job was 386 dollars and some odd cents.

I'm having second thoughts because everytime I get in my car I worry about it not starting.

I'm really weird, when I get inside it, the interior feeling just isnt right, everything is too old and tampered with from previous owners.

I actually got my car painted at Earl Scheib. They are a big company that does low budget paint jobs. 386 dollars for mine, nearly top of the line. www.earlscheib.com

I feel like I should sponsor them, so many people asked about it!

I'm sure they have locations in Socal

Honestly, I would be looking for a tad more for this car in it's current condition.

I put in about 3k for parts within 1 month! If you would part with tail lights and things, we could talk.

Are you running into any issues using the RSR race springs on stock struts?

Nope, no issues whatsoever. However I do feel like the rear could be a little bit lower. The ride on my car is still very soft. It doesn't do much good performance wise without struts.
