Post by: 86sonicbird on March 28, 2010, 12:05:22 PM

Ok I have a one owner 86 Elan with 80,000 orininal miles on the body.My grand mother ordered the car brand new. I have a Motorsport crate 302 with all gt40 aluminum heads, intake ect. The whole motor is powdercoated. It has a world class t5. T/C 3.55 disc brake rear. I replaced all suspension with bushings, CHP control arms, motorsport springs, kyb struts and shocks. Car has Centerline billet stars on it. It runs and has also been converted to mass air. The car needs brake lines which I will be doing soon and the body to be painted. I have painted the engine compartment sonic blue. Car has red leather interior but I have a complete black and grey leather interior including dash from a turbo coupe. The ONLY reason why I am thinking of selling it is to fund my garage I want to build. If I sell it now I would need 4500. I WILL NOT PART IT OUT. As time goes on I will finish it if I dont sell it and pry keep it. I have alot of money and TIME spent on this,lol. If there is any interest just let me know

Well I have five cars and just bought a house with a two car garage, sooooo I was thinking about selling the tbird to build another garage, that would be the only reason for selling it. I pry will keep it cause as soon as it is painted it will be a REALLY nice car. My first car was a 83 tbird that I did a fuel injected 5 litre drivetrain from a mustang back in 91. I have kept this car to kinda replicate my first car sans the color

I'd be interested in the roller based on price and condition of course. I have a couple SBFs to install. Have any photos?

IF I sold the drivetrain the roller would be around 1000 as you would get the car for free as I have over that in new suspension parts. If the weather holds out this week, I can get some pics of it.

I got the total rearend finished, 8.8 T/C disc rear with CHP upper and lower, new poly bushings in houseing and KYB shocks, gear is a 3.55. ALSO pulled it out of the garage and turned it around under its own power,lol. It has been about 7 years since it has been driven and then it was a 3.8 auto. All that is left is brake lines and bodywork and paint. I NEED my garage though,lol
