Default Giving up on my project :(

Due to circumstances beyond my control, it is now officially time for me to give up on my project 951

For those of you that don't know, I was in the process of building a 3.4L 951 with all the goodies... but not anymore...

So, does anyone want any of the project parts? I have all the parts to complete the project. For that matter I have a complete 951 as well.

I'd be willing to sell parts and/or trade stuff for a complete stock 951 or something along those lines.

I have about 100 MB of photos of the stuff I have for the project car at http://www.paradoxengineering.com/chris/944photos.zip

If anyone wants to take the project and actually finish it, that would be sweet; someone should get this done, but unfortunately it can't be me. Otherwise, parts are up for grabs... make offers if you need anything and I'll pull it for you.

It is obviously best for you if someone takes the whole project. Please post again if you are ready to sell parts separately.

Thanks

Damit, that page isn't loading for me, I would love to see pictures of this car. You have obviously put many many hours into this auto. Hopefully you do sell it to a buyer who understands and appreciates all the hard work.....I mean , who wouldn't want a 3.3 ltr turbo?
