    If you got garage space, you owe nothing on it and its free and clear in your name, let it sit. You'll eventually get some motivation to wrench on it one day.

    Or, you'll get that same motivation when you get rid of it, and wish you had it. IMO, id keep it.

    I say in order to ever get any use out of it, you should pay someone to bolt all the bits on. That way, it actually gets done and once you have a useable car, you will find it actually gets driven and you get some enjoyment out of it.
    If you wait for you to put it together, the decades will slip by.

    Oh, my bad. Sorry if reading > me.
    Don't know if I was mixing this up with another thread where the stuff wasn't done, or what.

    We just parted out my brothers old Daytona after failing to sell everything in one lot for even $2500, the car had been sitting in pieces for close to 15 years. Somehow we managed to sell everything for ~$7700 and I still have the 16V Hybrid long block, header, intake manifold, turbo and wastegate. It’s unassembled and needs some block machining but i’ll eventually assemble it and sell it off as well. That engine made ~480hp to the wheels back in 2005.
    Between my Daytona, horizon, spirit and charger I think I ended up spending about $25k in parts and cars. I sold basically everything to another turbo dodge guy for $2500 and chalked it up as a pricey life lesson back in 06-07

    Sell it. As a track car this would be far from an ideal starting point imho, the N54 isn't known to be the most reliable of motors, add extra power and start beating on it at the track and you'll be fixing stuff every weekend. An open diff, mac strut suspension, not much room for wide wheels (iirc) not to mention it's not exactly a featherweight for its size
