What to do with my HEAVILY modded FD???
Wow, its been atleast a year or two since I have posted on here. Some of you may remember my car. Here's the situation, I bought my '93 FD in '01 bone stock and cought the mod bug bad... I started my own business shortly after modding out my car. I need to do something with the car because I just don't have the time for it that I once did. I will either sell the car complete, or part it out.
The problem is that I havent been keeping up to date on the RX7's marketplace. Financially I need to know which option would be better for me. Currently the car is running, but it needs tuning with the fuel system. I could use the quick cash parting it out would provide me, but with that comes time and work. It would probably take a while to sell the car complete. Any ideas what I could sell the car for complete?
Pics of the car can be seen on Rotaryextreme.com Click on third gen, Aerokit, Rotary Extreme Aero Products, then click on the Silver FD below *new AD9 sideskirts
I could be missing a few things from this mod list, its been a long time since I tried to remember them all.

you'll lose more money selling the car as a whole than parting it out..but then again, you lost out already by modding the car..you cant get that back, thats the downside to modifications..
i would sell the aftermarket parts and get some of that money back, put the stock parts back on and sell the car..

I say keep it and update her. But if you are going to sell it I would like the rims . Since you don't have a lot of time I guess that you don't really have time to part it. So you are better off selling the car as it is. Trust me some one would buy it. If I had the cash I would. Just don't sell her to a kid that have no idea.

For max $, parting is the way to go.
It's sad, but you just won't recover the part value as added value to the car. If you can part AND restore to stock to sell, that's the BEST route.

Thanks for all the input guys, I had forgot what an informative active forum this is.
I'm still weighing out my options, I do have some time where I may be able to part it out.
If someone could PM me to discuss what I'm looking at selling these parts used over the forum or Ebay, it would be appreciated.
