This is all my fault, every choice I have made in my life has brought me here. I really don't have much left to live for honestly and I find joy where I can and that comment made me laugh. It was just plain funny.



Ryan, I have been given the authority to comment within this thread, without any psycho/sexual BS which is intuitively monitored by the OP. I would say, take it easy like the Eagles song. Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. Moreover, in this pandemic, I always think of people globally who are going through a tough time. I may be fortunate in some regard, for instance that I have a job still, food on the table, even a few friends I can call. At the same time, it is difficult to be socially active and it is a bit crazy and makes me think I'm going a bit crazy on a given day.

Ultimately, you got to keep the faith, take care of yourself. Look ahead and see the light that is on the horizon. No harm done here on the M2 thread. Sorry if I made you feel bad. M1 was the guy who started this.... all about women who would be uneasy and miss a man they could never have. It was never their fault. It was mine. I was too selfish about a dream. Stay close to your dream, and even if you don't have one momentarily, you'll certainly come upon a good one if you just dream.

I bumped it because a couple people asked about it. Made finding the thread easy.

We are starting to see some spring weather here. The plan over the next few weeks is to clean it up inside and out, put the bumper back on and the seat back in, and headlights, and then photography. I'll make a real FS listing and put it out several places for a bit. If it's still not sold by April I'll dump it on eBay.

This has got me seriously considering parting the car. If a mouse piss covered 3l can bring $8k, what can a bastard 3.2 do? I've got a ratty core 74 2.7 I could still sell with the car making it a "complete" project. Just spit balling here.

Here is a recent comp. Picked up a 74 back in November, matching numbers, Factory Silver over black, paid $12,000, hope to clear $20,000 once I re-asssemble. It's a complete car. Clean title.

Unobtanium what would you pay for this?
Make Matty an offer an offer he can't refuse.
Surely you two seasoned experts can come to a meeting of the minds.

Vote #2 for Facebook Marketplace for cheap low end stuff, sold my wife's KIA Sorento with a blown motor. Put it out there for $1900, sold it to the 2nd guy for $1500, and had 30 responses in about an hour.
