To part or not to part, that is the Question

what is the value of:
1990 3.6L with all the Patrick motorsports conversion goodies and 993 turbo oil filter, 95 993 complete exhaust with clutch and disc.

915 tranny rebuilt with 1 mile by CMS, with a new wavetrac posi installed and fittings for external oil cooling

17" Kinesis Supercups with tires

front and rear 993 Turbo brake kit for SC?

Thinking of parting my project that has been going one for too long and get on to other adventures!

Lots of juicy parts....afraid you're gonna take a big hit whether you all it as is or part it out. Financially you probably be better off parting it but will likely take more of your time
Good luck whatever you do.

Looks like a beautiful project had you finished it.

From my experience, Pelicans are cheap, want lots of pictures, and often change their mind.
So parting out will be very time consuming and frustrating.
And selling whole will be a significant $ loss.
Either way is frustrating.
So string out the frustration over a year or so for a couple more bucks?
Or just rip the band aid off and move on?

For what it may be worth, I'm with onboost, stay the course and see it through if at all possible. Looks like a real beauty.

I posted a similar thread and I have to say... Thanks! To everyone that chimed in and told me to keep going. It's almost finished now (sourcing a few parts) and then its time to drive!

Stick to it, man. You'll be glad you did. Plus, that car is way too good looking to part it out.

Looks almost finished. Heck I'd buy it and finish it myself
