Default i could carry the front end of my ls400

i got this car for $300 with all the bells and whistles the only problem is it was involved in minor collision. anyways its been my project to create a d1 super light weight sleeper with a 2jz motor swap and all the ****s. I've done a silvia with a ls1 motor so i figured why not with this baby. so i smashed and grabbed whatever there is; wires, doors, dashboard, everything!!! thinking maybe i could make some dough on the side. We'll its been a year and the wife is super ANGRY. we'll so now its all for the ditch period, I mean i got too much cars. including my daily drivers (1992 5 speed sc300,1990 ls400,1987 crx si, 1994 infiniti j30,1997 mercedes s600,2007 acura tl type s, 2011 honda civic, 1995 lincoln towncar limousine, 1997 twin turbo supra,)and so it hit me, lol gota sell sell sell...
hahaha
now the hard part of letting things go sucks ***. specially if it has grown a lil too much emotion within the soul.

but what can i do guys tell me; keep it or spend just a little bit more love and money.

It seems like if you don't dump it, your wife is gonna dump you. Sounds like you have more cars then she has shoes, in her eyes, that aint right.

The hunt is the fun part...blowing the $$ and realizing what the cost was in the end is

The rest of the panels needed along with the drive line I suspect will put you easily into what you could buy a complete non-running version. Then that's why they call them "project" cars, not practical in other words. If the fun is worth it then

Curious...which cars does the wife drive?

Why so many?? The more intiguing question is: "How the hell are you still married?" unless she gets to play too.
I can see having a couple toys, but come on.
Hey, I know a great divorce attorney, the guy that defended my X-wife.

that means you make more than me, I'm a male nurse... but thats a good way to make money. Do you own a shop? or do you keep all the parts at home and sell them individually. I like your concept of NO BOSS. I'm starting to hate my job even more specially doing a 12 hour shift and only earning half as much as you do in a day.
