That is bad news.  You had a lot of work into this project.

Well at least the rest of the work had not been done yet, was just about to be. Had it all set up to do lots of work as soon as the ground was going to be dry. Was going to pick up the parts car and swap the nicer doors gaining power windows and locks and flat hood with ornament, nice windshield, 1000km alternater, newish fan blower and the usual other things. Also arranged with the parts already on hand was the new exhaust system with the thrush turbo and Clifford Eagle header and the gronk 2150 complete setup swap and hei. Also have a bunch of parts that were waiting to be put on this spring/summer. Everything (not from the parts car) will be for sale soon and I will offer it all in the for sale section.

I am going to abandon the parts car now. If I just walk away from the parts car then I default on the $250 owed on storage and he will break even on scrap value at the shredder. Unfortunately there is no way to gain on anything by keeping the parts car as the resale of anything would be trumped by moving it again and further higher storage costs at my current storage place that includes guard dogs, electricity and an air hose for $25 cdn/month..

Now I can just concentrate on the 68 Javelin and the safari van that both need lots of work.
