I have in my possesion, sitting collecting dust, a 100% compleate, but not running 1988 convertible. Any suggestions as to what I should do with it? Part it out, get it running and sell it? Keep it for parts? Sell it as is? I dont know if getting it running is worth the effort or dollars? Anyone have a spare n/a engine they want to sell? At least it is all compleate, even rims/4 center caps and new tires, etc.....

I see it as the effort I would put into it would be better spent doing something else for the couple of dollars I would make off the car. Then I thought of building another engine for my car, and putting the engine from my car in the one thats not running. I still need to call you and possibly get together one day Jim, we probably arent even 10 minutes from each other. I would love to see how much faster your car is then mine, and see if its worth the effort. I just wish I didnt take the insurance off my car for the winter, im so bored driving my daily car its not even funny.

Well, tomoroww is supposed to be shitty out I believe. We can play it by ear, otherwise maybe Friday, this Saturday is my bday so I cant Saturday. I get out of work about 4:00, and its been staying light out till about 5:30. I just wont be able to bring my RX though, Ill be putting the insurance from my Cherokee to the RX probably about April or so, just couldnt swing paying for 3 to be insured anymore, and with my girlfriends car, 4 is too many to have around the house.

I was going to take my car off of the road for the winter, but my gamble paid off. :sigh:
