This car is at the end of its life span for me. To many problems coming online and the shell isnt in good enough shape to warrant the investment. I will be pulling:

engine+trans
exhaust
shocks and struts
skid plate
headlights
driving lights
blower motor
dash displays
steering wheel/airbag
wheels
brake rotors, front calipers
fuel pump
T5 harness + computer


The drivers seat power all works but it is pretty warn out...needs new padding and leather repair. The passenger seat is nice and clean...and I may put it in my van.

I'll either list stuff for sale around the internets...depending on interest.

Step 1. Disassemble fully functioning vehicle

Step 2. Profit.

fully functioning is misleading. its a driver until the replacement arrives, and then its a T5 donor which is worth $1000+ (to me). The front suspensions is getting very bad...to the point where the alignment is off and the struts clunk horribly over every bump.

Do you have a replacement in mind?
