PICKUP ONLY (It's too heavy for me to pick up and move around, and way too pricey to ship)

Ok, here's the scoop. I started converting my GS300 from Auto to 5-Speed. But before I was finished, a friend was in dire need of an engine for her car (also a GS300), so I sold mine to her. I ended up taking all the stuff back out of the car, and my back is getting worse, so I'm not likely to put it back together anytime soon. Condition of each item listed. I want to sell it all as a package:

Rebuilt R154 (soarer with shifter)
R154 GS300 Driveshaft
1JZ bellhousing
1JZ flywheel
ARP 2JZ Flywheel bolts
Spec Stage 3+ clutch (and MKIII Shift fork)
3.91 Rear end
Clutch Master from SC300


R154. I bought this R154 with 8,000 miles on it since rebuild. Guy had it in his car for 5-6 months, had an F1 Racing clutch in it, and they are known for popping the throwout bearing retainer ring so he had to pull the trans out. Since he had a Marlin Crawler rebuilt unit, he sold the R154, to me. The trans was originally out of a MKIII. I got a complete soarer tailshaft housing and put it on, complete with shifter, shifter extension, etc. When I took it apart, this was the -only- transmission I've EVER worked on that smelled -GOOD- inside. It was always been run since rebuilt with Royal purple trans fluid...Very nice. I put in a new rear transmission seal in, a new toyota shifter boot, new breather.

R154 GS300 Driveshaft. This is a driveshaft that was used by a friend in his GS300 that he converted to R154, it has a MKIII slip yoke, and the back is designed to fit a GS300, and would fit a MKIV Supra/SC/GS300 (but may require shortening)

1JZ bellhousing I bought this new, and just put it on the trans

1JZ flywheel I bought new (and it just has a light layer of surface rust but it can easily be cleaned up)

ARP 2JZ Flywheel bolts these have been installed, and then removed, but ARPs can be reused, this setup never ran. (torque rating 620trq.)

Spec Stage 3+ clutch. This supposedly only has about 4k miles on it, and it looks pretty good, plenty of life left.

3.91 Rear end This is out of a 1992 SC400, the early model MKIIIs used a 3.91 with the R154 so I figured this would make it not scream so badly compared to the 4.27 gears I have in the car. The SC400 has about 140k miles on it.

Clutch master is from an SC300 (junkyard, should be rebuilt)

I have almost $4k invested, asking $3200/obo. If you've tried to price these things up, you'll see just how stupidly quickly this stuff adds up.

Pickup only, I don't have the strength to lug this around, and shipping transmissions is a complete pain. If it doesn't sell, I may keep some of the stuff and break it apart, but I'd like to see if it'll sell as a package first.

I know this is a long short, a bout a million to one since this post is 5 years old, but do you still have any of this? Maybe just the r154?
