Heh, probably not what most of you were expecting, but I'm done with my GS. I have come to the tragic realization that with my 4th kid on the way and various other things in life I will never have the cash flow to finish the car the way I want to. I have a $60k laundry list and no cash flow to support it.

I'll be making a part out thread shortly, I have some pretty good parts available. Many things have already been spoken for by Jimmy (Bippu147) so look for most of my stuff on his car. If anyone needs/wants anything, shoot me a PM and we can talk. Or check out my part out thread for the list of remaining parts.

It's been interesting being member on the site, and I've enjoyed helping some of you out with swaps of your own. I've gained alot of knowledge and will continue to share what I know, long after my GS is gone.

Thanks again guys! Sad to see her go. . . .

Ryan

Man, this is sad indeed. Couldn't you just keep the car as is?? It was running, wasn't it?

G/L with the future sale of your parts. And congrats for the 4th baby on the way.

it was a beast. it has been taken apart and not running now for about a year. i sold of some of the parts to pay for some parts and now dont have enough parts to put it back to the way it was anymore. besides, there are too many GS guys floatin around calgary right now anyways, i was kinda used to being the only one.
