Need Your Opinion.

After doing some research I have realized some things. First I was planning on rebuilding my N/A motor but after looking at fc3spro's website I realize now that I am in over my head. Now I can do all the work, but the money is the problem. I have money and can do the build, but I just am second guessing spending the money. I was wanting to take it back to the way it was from the factory as far as quality but with added reliability out of it, but the money for eveyrthing that needs to be replaced in doing that just gets to me. I was thinking maybe I could be able to put another 180k on it, but I dont know.

I have also been comtemplating selling it. Just parting it out and cutting my loses. But I dont know if thats a good idea. I am planning on getting a new truck soon, so it wouldnt be a total loss for me. But I have the interior stripped and the motor pulled. I know I wont get much, but I didnt expect to really.

What should I do??

Well the thing is, I really wanted to replace everything inside the motor. But the other problem Im having with this car is I have a kid. Hes 2 now and I just dont think its a safe enough car for him to be in.

Im really stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Do you really want to part with your seven? I wouldn't recommend selling it, if Id be put in a similar predicament, id just wait and keep my seven. Don't make a decision unless you are confident it is the right one (unless that decision is selling your seven)
