Hey everyone,
So unfortunately my dreams of rebuilding my 1999 GSX are diminishing due to lost interest on the local votech's part and I am facing a tough decision.
I can either strip the car down, selling off non-essentials to get some money (factory turbo, interior, exhaust, etc.) and keeping it as a future project car. I dreamed of having it as a car to rebuild and give to my first son. I am the second owner and acquired it in January 2007 with 48,000 miles and it now has 110,000 miles. The only problem the car has is that the trans end case cover has a gash in it caused by the bearing in the trans failing resulting in the end nut to grind into the case cover. I bought it bone stock, and that is how it stayed since I owned it.
My other option is to sell this DSM and hope someday I can find another non-molested DSM to have as a project. The money from the sale would go towards buying my wife her first car. This was however my first car (at least first one that I paid for with my money, past my POS Protege and hand-me-down Jetta) and I wanted to keep it always.
Please give me your opinions as I would greatly appretiate all of yours feedback.
Thank you,
Tim
