now the important bit , NOTE I AM CONSIDERING !! SELLING this is not a definitive for sale post , but if the asking price is offerd and the buyer is genuine then there is every chance it will go ,
im still waiting on a couple of key parts and some items will be going for powdercoating before the car goes , thus the buyer would have to wait 2-3 weeks to collect the car ...

You can't sell it, you promised me a passenger ride
Bottom line is that it's your motor and only you know what the score is, but just remember that you'll be kicking yourself harder than a one legged man in an arse kicking contest if you see someone else rolling round in it in a few years time.

I feel genuinely dissapointed that youre thinking of selling mate. Ive spoke to you abouit the car at a few car shows this year and you seemed so focused and enthusiastic about it. Lets hope its a blip as im sure it'd be a great car to own and drive. ive got a stage one 3 door and its nice but im sure yours would be lots more fun. Lets hope things get back on track and see it through to the end mate

Sell it. Just get rid. Even thinking about it means your heart ain't in it. Hopefully someone will actually get it done. Waste really.
Personally, unless I had some serious personal or financial issues, i'd just get on with it, and stop being a girl.
Get it done and stop whinging.

As above beefy youl hang yourself within 3years if you let this go, i was really hoping to see this at Ford Fair as a surprise for the show and all your updates would be a rouse to keep us guessing. lets just hope if it does go it goes to a good home

If you have checked i have a cople of replys in your project post, so if you can´t look know... put it apart, hide it!! then finish the project!
if you need the money! well happens!
I would keep it if i wre you! and that´s a bargain price for all the years "WORK"!

This is why i broke my moonstone 3dr as didnt want to do a rebuild on it and im trying to keep my sensible head with the saff im building.
Beefy's car has had a lot of work done but i personally think it needs to be complete for it to sell at the price.

Keep it and finish it
I get the impression you've had a lot of mates help you out with it and probably for free, shurly you owe it to them to complete the project? i could be wrong on that though!
If it's a cash issue put it away for a year or too then come back and get it finished
You'd really regret parting with such a top quality shell it would eat you up to see someone else buy it, finish it and milk the lime light.
Stash it away for a month or 2 and think about it after a break!

It'll be a real shame if you do sell it beef :-(
But needs must.
Your priorities have changed now with your little girl coming along and i can see why you'd want to sell it now but have a good long think about it.
Hope your all well
