Hello everyone I have a question to ask. I was givin this car to repay a debt and I figured that i would build it up over time. But I currently have 5 cars and not much time since stating my small business.
The car was hit in the front but it looks like I can straighten the rad support and it should be fine. But I dont know if its worth it. Should I just part it out? I really have no history on the car which sucks. I know it started out life as a n/a but was swapped with a turbo engine. The engine is good condition but I dont even know the mileage.
Anyway what would you guys do? sell it as is or part it out?

Now for some pics

 

Parting out the car will take a lot more time then selling it whole even if you may get a bit more parting it out. If there isn't a lot of aftermarket goodies on it you won't get much more by parting it out either.

 

if it runs just sell it whole.

 

If you do plan on parting it out, there are several parts I would be interested in...body, suspension, engine, interior...

 

if you are parting it out PM me

If the car runs good, you might as well sell it as a whole car.

 

if you do keep it you may want to do FMIC or Tii hood so the intercooler will do its job

 

The car runs but it has its problems. I cant get the hood to line up since it was hit. The brakes need a good bleed and the idle at startup is nonexistent. I tried selling it on craigslist but no one showed and it was a waste of time. I am a ase master tech so i can fix the problems but I dont want to sink another dime into this car after the lackluster showing on craigslist. I do know the car has a os giken clutch but I really dont know much else. I am leaning towards parting it out since I know I will get more but I really dont know how much. Here is a recent video of it running http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6BWiHTPDaI .

 

You also have some sort of aftermarket exhaust, and your belt for the alternator and water pump will slip because there is no air pump. It needs the yoo-hoo belt or a double alternator pulley.

 

maybe it has a port job? or modded throttle body... did you ever check the compression? seems like it just needs some adjustments

 

Check the undercarrage to see what kind of exhaust system it has. It sounds like a full turbo back in that clip. It might be worth a lot.

Parting will get the most money for sure. Personally I would keep the drivetrain/exhaust, part the rest and then swat the drivetrain/exhaust into a good shell (which are cheap now). but that would require work and cash. If you don't want to spend a dime on it part the whole thing.
