I know. I should list it on Lemons or Chump forums. Probably go pretty fast there. Would love to see it rallying again. I just don't see myself having time to finish reassembly and would rather have the cash and space.

Enablers, All of you.

What happened grant? You want to sell me this thing or did you get cold feet? Not a big deal either way it's just I asked the better half and may need to answer some questions at some point. Haha I'll put a down payment today if you want.

Are those comps 4x108? If so, would you take trade in skin?

Hey Grant, those JVAB coilovers still available? Seriously interested. Might be interested in other stuff too, but really looking for the coilovers.

Thanks...

That is EXACTLY what I did. BTW John, have you joined the world of Facebook yet. There's endless fodder for the plastic bat treatment.

Deposit for whole shebang was taken last week. At risk of getting verbally abused I might suggest ebay.
