JVAB big brake kit in front ~11.2X1.25 w/ Wilwood FBSL 4 piston calipers, two piece rotor (aluminum hat)

AEM Stinger stand alone ECU and complete custom engine wiring harness. This was built specially for a Merkur and was used previously for a short time in a show car. I bought it when the show car was parted out a few years back. Considering an new engine harness is $500, this is great as it's harness and powerful ECU - $1200

Caged and rolling shell with lexan side windows, lexan rear window, whale tail, Cosworth GRP grill, Cossie headlights, Cossie 2WD intercooler, shorty radiator, assortment of Samco hoses, Bailey header tank, swirl pot, longacre battery relocation kit to an old a possibly dead Optima yellowtop in a couture Tim Taylor alumunim battery hold down kit. - $2000

Buy everything for $5k. Would need fuel system installed and minor assembly. All parts available also. Parting it all out. Make offers on anything.
Located in Denver, CO. Delivery possible for expenses.

I know. I should list it on Lemons or Chump forums. Probably go pretty fast there. Would love to see it rallying again. I just don't see myself having time to finish reassembly and would rather have the cash and space.

Medcroft arms claimed if part out occurs.

Here's some rally guy pricing on parts.

All ten Compomotive wheels - $1200.

JVAB coilovers - $1000

JVAB front brake kit - $500 (might consider replacing rotors. Also one rotor is wrong sided. Didn't notice John sent the wrong side until a few years after. They worked fine.

TCE rear brake kit - $750

Bolt in dual master brake with Girling cylinders. - $250

Caged maybe rolling shell w/ whale tail, cossie grill, and cossie headlights - $1500

Stinger AEM ECU with custom engine harness - $750 (New engine harness - $500, new Stinger AEM ecu - $900 so killer deal)

Modified Volvo head w/ plenum intake manifold - $800

What happened grant? You want to sell me this thing or did you get cold feet? Not a big deal either way it's just I asked the better half and may need to answer some questions at some point. Haha I'll put a down payment today if you want.

Hey Grant, those JVAB coilovers still available? Seriously interested. Might be interested in other stuff too, but really looking for the coilovers.

Thanks...

Hey John! Not sure how much quicker I can be. Coin is in my pocket burning a hole. I guess I'll see if I can message him somehow.

That is EXACTLY what I did. BTW John, have you joined the world of Facebook yet. There's endless fodder for the plastic bat treatment.

Deposit for whole shebang was taken last week. At risk of getting verbally abused I might suggest ebay.
