Hard time hitting the purge and reset button + who want stuff?| Grassroots Motorsports forum |

Now that I actually have the [project] dough and a slightly improved skillset to finish projects, I need to purge stalled projects with associated parts. Reason? To devote some time to finish A project and make some events this year. Holy crap is this difficult. Mostly because I hate selling things. But mainly because of the sweat equity and emotional attachment I have in these projects. As soon as I turn one wrench them, all that comes back and I don't want to purge them (similar to Indy-Guy and Einhorn; I think I even chimed in on that post).

So what are these projects and parts?

Cars:

BMW 350is (built for TT) - Noise in the used bottom end means another JY replacement (Really on the fence about this one)
Toyota Corolla (RWD) - Rusty bucket, but runs OK (Good Challenge or possible LeMons candidate) - $650
Volvo 780 - Rust across the windshield frame, interior has died, and an awful sunroof removal job with 700lbs of bondo, but runs very well (Good Challenge candidate) - $750
BMW 740 - Retired from DD use and listed for sale and comes with a TON of parts (Good Gastropod candidate) - $1800
BMW 530 - Nope . . . not selling
Lincoln LS - Nope . . . not selling

Parts:

2-ring Saginaw with driveshaft, torque arm, and shifter + rods from a Monza - $200
M60 3.0L BMW V8 and auto transmission (V8 was for the Volvo since LR4 was swapped into the Lincoln) - $200
Getrag 420g 6speed - Nope . . . not selling
T5 GM V6 - $80
Disassembled M42B18 - will, more than likely, be dumped - $75
NV3500 (RPO: M50 and from a 96 S10 Blazer = 3.49 first gear, 2.16 second gear, and shifter tower 6-7" further back) with LS specific flywheel - was for the Lincoln LS, but changed directions - $160
2 sets of C4 sawblades $110 per set
Set of C4 16" Saladshooters -$110
13" Baby Supra wheels - $150
15x8 Steel wheels (4x114.3/4x108) - $150
Toyo R1R 195-50-15 (Date Code: 1914) - $310
M90 Supercharger - Not selling
Some random audio amps - $80

Listing all this stuff out . . . Geez, I have a ton of E36 M3 over here, LOL!
