Thinking about selling the body of my car since the motor is done , curious on how much I could get for the shell (30k miles) in mint condition..? Would it be a better decision to drop a new or low mileage used motor in it ?

 

I don't imagine you'd have a lot of luck selling the shell of the car unless someone was using it to repair a collision on their own.

 

Drop a new built block paired with fast intentions turbo kit.

 

How'd you kill the motor at 30k miles?

 

Nobody has a number maybe a guesstimate ??
And if I decided to drop a new stock motor .. Does anyone have an idea of what that would cost , labor included.. ?

 

Greddy enlarged oil pan meets 4-5" manhole cover sticking above the asphalt.... Didn't even see it coming it was dark as hell .. This portion of the road was "under construction " about 200-300 feet of the road .. No signs or any indication that I was about to be coming up on this... The shop says the block could have damage but didn't ever give me a clear answer either it was actually was salvageable or not .. I cut the motor a couple seconds after the impact.. Since the car was twin turbod I was worried that they could have damage but luckily I had the shop specifically check all the components of the kit and everything was fine. So now I have to make the decision wether to part the body, sell it whole with no motor or see if I can salvage the original motor if that couldn't be done .. Drop a new or used motor in it then sell the car. I am still going to sell the turbo kit separately minus the oil pan obviously. So if anyone is interested in the kit feel free to message me it has around 7k miles on it ...The
car is also lowered on tein streetflex coils, also have a full arc grip exhaust with burnt tips as well. Also, 20" vossen vvs084s .. Please let me know if anyone is interested in these...

 

If there was no warning of the road construction, you may have a suit against the city.
I know in Kentucky, if you have wheels damaged or tires ruined because of pot holes that haven't been patched, they will provide pay for the damage. A neighbor of mine had his wheel replaced. He just had to provide where it happened, when it happened, and the cost of the replaced wheel.

 

Ouch man.... Sorry for your loss
