Decide the fate of the Gj

Post by pigdog85 »

so ive hit a critical point in my build.. im over it , ive always been a v8 guy and i only started building the sigma for my ex.
so the car was a 1 owner 82 gj sigma 2.6 auto with 92000 on the clock and only 1 spot of rust in the rear window sill.
the entire car was stripped , the old 2.6 was replaced by a reco 2.6 wide block and a reco 5 speed jap box replaced the factory auto.
the motor is in and running great, gearbox is tight . has extractors into 2 1/4 exhaust and a silvia s14 radiator . now this is where i lost interest.
the carby is the stock piece of junk , i was originally going to put on the 34adm Weber carb and leave it there but then i started thinking power and started contemplating going efi and then after comparing prices and work involved decided on putting the 3.8l commodore motor in. now i honestly cant justify putting that much more money into the sigma considering its never really been a car i wanted to do up. ge sigma and galants yes but anything after gh sig and im out .
So basically i dont know which path to take selling the sigma. the car is pretty much done, i can throw it all back together and sell as is or i can part it out.
i really want to pull $2000 out of it but not sure how thats going to go. so do i pull it down and part it out or throw it all back together???? the body is super clean would be a waste for it not to get used , anyway share your thoughts.

Fom one V8 guy to another. If the ex is gone...and that was the reason to build it,and she is gone..get rid of it asap.

Youd probably get most money from parting it out thats what id do

Parting most cars out will net you more dollars but the time and effort can be PITA.
I think you will have no problem getting 2k for a super tidy, kinda one owner, GJ with a reco 2.6 and 5 speed conversion.
I would put it back together and be firm on your price, should move pretty quick I think :thumpsup: :thumpsup:
