Need cash for new project.

I've got a 1990 conv. and it's givin me to many problems. I have to get rid of it to make way for a new project, as well as fund this new project. Would i have a better chance of makin money by sellin the car whole or parting it out and sellin the stuff on ebay. The car has new top, carpet, a/c, rebuilt engine, trans., Bonez high flow cats, racing beat cat back, and a lot of other stuff. I would like any input you can provide as far as what my best bet would be.
Thanks

If the car runs fine, then you will make more money on selling it whole.

However if there are major mechanical problems (you were not clear on what "giving you trouble" was) then you will make more money parting it.

If you part it, sell stuff here first (namely to me). Save yourself the cost of listing on Ebay for anything you can. (imo). The forum is free in that respect.

let me know if you're ready to part it, i'm looking for some vert stuff.

I got this idea on maxim on how to get money, take your friends name and register it for a webpage, and turn it into the gayest site on the net, then you can blackmail him to get it off the internet.....something like that..

Thank's I'll keep that all in consideration. If i decide to part it out i will be sure to let the forum have first dibs.
The problem with the job thing is that i already have two.
And the problem with the blackmail thing is that all my friends have less money than i do.

Some of these people don't cruise the lounge...but I agree with Rpeck, 2 McJobs should be enough to fix a damn FC. No offence blue90vert.

Student loans (mine)
Wife - with big tastes
Girlfriend - with bigger tastes
Tuition - son
Tuition - daughter
Wedding - daughter
Live-in mother in law (try this one on for size guys)
Casinos
Any alcohol budget to drown the above miseries away.

The money and time I spend on my wankels is cheaper than a shrink - ooops forgot that one too - wife’s shrink bill.
