I have some extra parts ill throw in if the price is right like an extra set of wheels (14" stockers) etc.

I have over 100 hours into this car getting it together lmk if your interested in buying the whole car. I have owned it for 3 years. If I can't find a decent deal for everything I will part it out. Reason im selling it is because i have a kid on the way. It fucking sucks that i'm going to sell this car.

Thank you!

i will continue to put the car together as time passes. I intended on daily driving this car and having fun in the rain when florida summer starts its habit of rain.

Installed throttle cable, moon roof weather seal, idle air control valve hose to intake, dipstick o-ring, shift boot last friday.

I will continue to work on the car throughout the week.
