    Just a few updates for anyone curious.

    - The front grill is not installed. The buyer has three options.
    1) You don't care about the front grill. Awesome!
    b) I can include a brand new ( not even unwrapped ) front grill from DMC. It will need the studs and DMC logo installed. That's up to you
    III) I can include a complete grill that's currently on my other car, and put the new one on my car.

    - The title is free and clear, in my name.

    Tomorrow she gets a new starter. A brief diagnosis today revealed that the solenoid was not engaging, which was preventing it from starting. Everything up to that was fine.

    Things this car has that are new / fairly new ( less than 100 miles on these parts ):

    - Fuel pump, filter, injectors, accumulator
    - Brake calipers all remanufactured professionally
    - Alternator and starter
    - Spark plugs
    - Lots of fasteners, too many to list
    - exhaust gaskets. No exhaust leaks!

    Tomorrow I'll finish getting the engine together, and I'll post a video of it running.

    Things you should know:

    - There's an ATF leak. If anyone wants to sell me an ATF drain pan, PM me. I think the pan is not flat and that's why it leaks.
    - There's some fiberglass damage on the driver side. I'll post pictures tomorrow.
    - Of the stainless panels, the only one that was drilled is the T-panel.
    - The rear fascia is damaged. Again, if anyone wants to sell me a replacement, please PM me. I would happily install one!

    Tomorrow, I'm going to:

    - Install the new starter
    - Turn the engine over
    - Remove the current props and polish the heck out of the stainless.

    Kirk came by and took some photos today. I also showed him the title, just as proof that I do, indeed, have it in my possession.

    Anyone that has questions about this car or is interested, please PM me or email me, or text me. It's available for viewing in Suwanee, Ga. PM me for details - I won't post the address here, out of respect for the shop that is hosting it as a favor to me.

    That's all for now.

    --buddy
    PS: Be sure to search '2930' on this forum, or 'marsha', her preferred name, to see what I've done to this car in the time I've owned it.

    I added the pictures that Kirk took to the album. I'm also embedding one here, showing the body damage.

    I'm having it looked at, and will have it repaired if I can.

    Updates for anyone interested:

    - I removed the exterior props. The rear quarter panels were drilled, and the Tpanel was drilled. All other panels were in tact, and cleaned up surprisingly well.
    - The engine made fire! I let it run for a few minutes and warm up, before shutting it down. She sounds great.
    - I'm amassing all of my stock of parts that belong to this car, and putting them with it.
    - I've got someone looking at the front damage to the body ( near where the windshield washer pump belongs )
    - I'm consulting a welder about filling the stainless holes

    If anyone is interested in stopping by to look at it, please let me know. Low ball offers will not be considered - The left front fender and hood are both worth more than some offers I've received.

    The props are available for sale separately, if whoever ends up with the car doesn't want them.

    I'll be back up there on Saturday to do some more work. I'm going to diagnose a fuel pressure issue. The tank and hoses are clean, so I'll be checking the PPR Oring, and if necessary, replacing the fuel pump and filter.

    It might help the sale if you say how much you would actually take for it? Just an idea.

    I'm relatively new to this board, but don't the rules indicate that an item for sale in this section must have a price associated with it?
