One more of the hoopty. Have had it for 12 years. Debating whether or not to attempt to fix the paint. To be honest, I'm a little tired of it at this point.....

In my opinion, I would keep it. The reality is, the car won't sell for nearly as much as you've put into it. A new color and wheel combo would drastically change up the look of the car. If that is too big an investment, I would recommend putting the car on airbags so you can slam it when parked. The ultra low stance will change up the look of the car and you can get into it for fairly cheap these days. I still get a kick out of it when I slam my car and see it an inch off the ground
Shoot I hope that doesn't happen to me.. Do all this work on the car and get tired of it and sell it off at a loss. It is an outstanding looking car with obvious attention to detail you can't just buy. Heck I wish I could take your shell and put my engine/trans/diff/ NA-T build in it.

The thing is I'm trying my best not to put any more money into it. I just did the timing belt service and really don't want to put more money into. I want a sports car.

Probably won't sell it because the car is in great running condition. I wouldn't get much more than a junker that has tons of stuff wrong with it. Just want something new. I've only had two cars since I started driving, this being the 2nd one.
I am in the same boat, except I have had mine for 13 years LOL. I have another car that I daily.... I just dont drive it enough to justify keeping it, but much like you have far more money in the car than it is worth.
Great build thread. Your car has changed dramatically. I love it and btw Geaux Tigers!!!! I live right next door on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Thanks. Here's another picture of it. Not much going on lately except general maintenance, did valve cover and all the other seals and the timing belt, also replaced the rear rotors so they match the front now.
I always liked the hood vents you installed. I've been looking at/trying to talk myself into a different style vent setup, but same idea. It's $1,000 for a CF hood, or $80 for a set of quality vents and some elbow grease and you have a look no one else has. I'm re-inspired to take another hard look at cutting up my hood lol
