This is just a feeler post, im not totally sure I want/need to sell just yet
I know its a bit of a novel, but it explains everything about the car, and my current situation, please give it a read.
Here’s my story. I bought an s13 hatchback last year that already had the sr20 swap done. The car was in much better condition than my previous 240, so that was a plus. The car ran amazing for the couple months I had it on the road until it was stored for the winter. Over the winter I had some issues with the oil filter housing gaskets which ended up causing more issues with the head. After buying random upgraded parts over the winter and the spring, it was time to pull the engine and have a better look at what was going on.
Fast forward to about a month ago. I pulled the engine, tracked down the oil leaking issue (housing gaskets as mentioned above), bought a shitload of new parts, took care of the minor rust issue i had on the inner wheel well, and a section of the driver’s side frame rail, then painted the engine bay gloss black. I ripped apart the engine, cleaned it up, decked the block and the head, ensured that everything was in proper order. Rebuild the head with a slew of new OEM parts (springs, retainers, gaskets etc) set the timing perfectly, and put it back together. Dropped the engine back into the car, then towed it back to my garage for further work.
Now, 2 weeks ago, I had the opprotunity to take a job in Edmonton for alot more money, so i jumped on it. I had 2 weeks give or take to finish up the car and at least have it all back together and/or in running status before I left or else it would never have gotten finished. Everything minus the piping for the exhaust was finished and ready to go, however, I simply ran out of time before leaving to go out west. So, the car now sits in Ontario at my fiance’s house waiting for me to trailor it back to Edmonton come October.
Now, trying to get my life in order and trying to start a family, as well as the prospect of a baby on the way, I have decided to try and sell the car. I need the money more to get things going out here than to have in a car that I never have time for anymore. So, here’s where the dealing comes in. I’m in Alberta till at least the first week of October, at that time i will be going back to Ontario to get my girl, and our shit, and head back west. Thinking things over, it would be 10x easier for me not to have to worry about getting the car trailor or shipped out here, and the hassle of getting the OOP done, this is why I somewhat have to get rid of it. I’ve put a ton of cash into this car, and I know i will never see it again, or break even at the very least, but please consider the quality of parts, and how some items are installed and absolutely brand new.
Here is a rundown of the car and what is needed:
-
front brakeline on driver’s side
-
3’ cat by-pass pipe to install the new exhaust
-
New windshield
-
inner tie-rod on driver’s side
-> both items I could take care for the buyer when i go back to ontario
Now, here is why I am posting this now - I need the time to line things up so when I am back in Ontario, I will hopefully have something arranged with someone and ready for it to be sold. I should be back in Ontario for approx 1 week at the very most at the beginning of October, so if someone is interested either immediately or now until October, please dont hesitate to PM me or something, we can discuss things and work something out.
