I’m having a bit of a problem, my car needs work, but I’m getting bored of it. I was thinking about rebuilding the CA over the winter, but I was also thinking of going with an SR. The problem is I don’t know if I want to spend the extra money on something that I’m probably going to get rid of in the next year. I need to do a couple things to the car before I sell it or I was thinking of selling it as is at a loss. I’m not too sure, I was thinking of selling it for like $6000 as is, but it needs a clutch and suspension. Or if I fix it then ask $7500. I’m not too sure what I should do, any opinions or ideas? ---

Stay with the CA and rebuild it over then winter. Fix it up and then sell it in the spring. It will be a good learning experiance. It’s not too hard… ---

Same boat as me…wondering to sell or not to sell…sell if you want to move on…new projects are always fun. ---

I don’t need to rebuild the engine, I was just going to over the winter because I go for my 2nd year mechanics in January, and we get to rebuild engines. I know that I’m going to have to sink about $1500-$2000 probably into this car for all the things that are wrong with it. Then I would want about $8000 for it but I don’t think it would be worth that much. Especially not after seeing some very nice cars going through the marketplace for around the same price. ---

I guess I could get some decent rims because my fenders are already rolled so I could do the crazy flush look. I’m not too sure, I guess I have all winter to figure this out. Then when I part with the 180 I’ll probably be talking to Allen about a GTR or Soarer. ---
