socjdqcer Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hey guys, Im thinking bout selling my beautiful car. My car is in phenomenal shape, and Im currently in the middle of a engine swap on my 88 Conquest TSI, the MOTOR IS IN!!! No rust at all, the interior still looks brand new. Seriously, the carpets, seats...everything looks great. In fact I have had a huge thread up in the Engine Swappers section since day one of the build, its gotten a lot of attention. Anyways, this all started the day before I was taking it to the shop to get repainted. You see Im a school teacher and funds are low. Also my wife is in college and our new born baby boy is having some serious health issues, so i might have to sell my car. So before I post it on some website like craigslist or ebay, I was curious to see if anyone on here would be interested in my baby. The only thing left to do is buy a transmission and a bell housing. I was planing on buying a T5 Tranny and then buying one of Bills awesome bell housings. Just fyi I have the front peace (above the bumper) and the fog ligs that are missing in the one picture. Also, I dont have a good interior picture. Ill post one tomorrow. It has a fully rebuilt 4G63 6-bolt motor, hasnt even been started yet! The rebuilt was pretty much a stock rebuild. The motor was completely disassembled and acid dipped and cleaned. Cylinders were rehoned, it has a resurfaced head and a valve job. Pistons/Con Rods were dipped and cleaned, new bearings and rings. It has new ARP Connecting Rod STUDS and new ARP Head Studs. Tubular Header and a T3/T4 turbo w/ 3" inlet. New timing belt and I had the Intake manifold inlet side swapped by Bill Hincher, it looks great! It really breaks my heart to get this far and probably have to sell it. Im looking at 2 options. Either sell it all together or sell the body by itself and then sell the motor by its self. I know how beautiful and powerful the motor is and I know I could sell that to some guys locally if I had to. Once again I wanted to post it here to see if anyone would be interested.

socjdqcer Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 How much are you asking for the car ??How much are you asking for the car ?? It depends, are you interested in the whole car or just shell? The local Mitsu performance shop said I could probably get at least $2200 just for the motor. Then I figured a shell/interior like mine is pretty rare compared to how good of shape its in, so I figured around $1000 for the body. So all together around $3200. Im super busy and Ill try to get some good shots of the interior this afternoon! Its in great shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
