all or text my cell phone at 401.787.5617, if I cannot pick up let me know when is good to call you back.
Email steven.kreiger@gmail is fine too!................... I will consider any offer, but I am asking for $850 to start.

If there are sills and a floor sounds like a good deal and ain't far to go..
A little Clorox and a good brush and hot water will talk care of the mold---ask me how I know.
Sitting that long the tank is going to be a Biology 101 experiment inside and basic lesson in the solvent power of water...
Thanks Conner.

Go to DMV in Dover Point with VIN, bill of sale looking document and ten bucks. Walk out with temp plate. At least that's what I used to do 15 years ago without incident.

Ok, so would $5000 put proper brakes, a supra diff and 4 green corners on a xratty, parts only?

Exactly what I am doing. Picking up the car on the 4th.

Sure and a Cosworth turbine housing, too. Add a cage and seats and sump guard and you're done.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AidvMDG0FXe5dFlBZWl5a1Y0UHBrTTNtM0JrRWdFbnc&usp=sharing#gid=0

There's lot of details of what went on/in my car...

I spent probably $3-3.5k on dual master box, lines, 4 pot brake kits for front and rear, master cylinders, reservoirs, and hydraulic handbrake.
JVABs are in $2k range, maybe a bit more due to inflation?
My Supra diffs I paid $75 or so for each of them from junkyard. Another $85 for Weir kit, $140 for adapters from JVAB and I don't recall how much the adapter into the beam runs...

So yeah, somewhere in the $5k range...
On the other hand, Porterfield R4 pads can be found for stock brakes, that's all Colin McLeery ever used for his 40+ events or however many...

There's wrecked XR4Tr near me, been sitting in the guys yard for a couple of years. Right front fender is dinged. No idea if it has rust and if it is complete or not. I'd guess if somebody was interested it would make a parts car.

Well since you haven't read and follow the one rule we have about this place requiring your real name somewhere and your REAL location---city/state or province---we have no idea where this dinged Xratty is and so no idea if this offer is a good one or a meaningless one..
That's why we require a real location this very thing..
