My new build...the "me too" short Crew Cab ~UPDATE~ not selling it

Wow, thats quite a bit less than I was expecting to hear. I know whats going to be keeping me distracted all day :haha: What part of the country is the rig in?
 
Yeah thats kinda what I was thinking. Little out of my reach at this time. Hopefully someone can help him out and take it off his hands.
 
Is the engine ready to fire once the fuel and coolant systems are finished? Do you still have the seats?
 
Fuel system is nearly complete. Fuel pump needs to be wired.
Needs exhaust built and o2s hooked up and it's good to go.
Cooling system is done and electric fan is wired to PCM.
 
Damn. Sorry to hear. I love this rig. But, more importantly is I hope your hand heals.
 
he has a thread over there as well.
unless you just want to part it out, i'd also list it whole.

for that price, someone in the market would have to be a nimcompoop not to swoop on that.

also, good luck on your hand.
 
Update...
Im not selling it. The build is put on hold for the foreseeable future.
But I just cant bring myself to sell or part it out. Its 95 percent done.
 
:bow:

thanks . it will happen or the right person will come along that should own it in the end if it needs to be that way .

my crew cab build still sleeping . but its getting close to waking up if i can find the cash to finish it .
 
Good idea to keep it. You've put so much time into it and it's nearly done, you couldn't recreate another one at this point. Seeing it in your driveway will remind you that you have your dream vehicle to look forward to, and will keep you motivated to heal. It may be a long road but don't get discouraged.

I've had injuries that have taken 2yrs to get over (back and right shoulder at different times in my life - I was very discouraged at times) - and I was tempted to sell my K30 a few times - glad I didn't - it was great to get back behind the wheel. I've had friends in similar situations and they have always regretted selling their vehicle or hobby off. Unless you get real GOOD money, you'll be sorry. While your healing just keep refining your plans and who knows what new ideas/improvements you'll think out!
 
It lives!

Vinny I'm glad you are keeping it, you have put so much time and heart into her. Hang on as long as possible and hopefully you will be able to finish her. Its the same thing with the K5 you sold me. I came close twice to getting rid of her. Even now I am flat broke but she is nearly ready (pavement queen only). Hang in there.
 
Very good to hear! The Bottom line to me is, it's not hurting you to keepit around. AAlthough you can't do what you want right this second, at least you have it for when the time is right.
 
I know a little bit of how you feel. I have a cabin about 4 hours away from here that was handed down to me from my grandpa. It is in ROUGH shape. The floors are rotting out and i think the whole north wall is sinking. The cabin is a massive part of my childhood and means a ton to me. But, it seems i never have the time/money to go up there and get work done. At this point, the thing is to the point where what really needs to happen is it needs demolished and a new one built. It will be many years before i can make that happen. So i thought, the cabin isnt in an ideal location, and it is an enormous undertaking to rebuild it which i just dont have time for. So maybe i should just get rid of it. But the more i thought about it, the more i realized, that i had two choices. I could get rid of it and never even have the chance of enjoying it again, or i could hold on to it and hold on to hope that i would someday be able to get it to a point where it can be enjoyable again. So i decided to keep it. This way, if it takes my 10 years until i can do anything with it, at least its not lost for a life time.

So its different than your situation, but kinda the same. And i think the right choice is to keep it and hope for the best. At least then you have a chance.
