I had high expectations over a year ago when I bought my BE, scrounged some parts, got it running nice, put some sweat-equity into it etc.
But, I have come to the realization this is a project that is beyond me right now. Work time and travel have been high and available funds have been low. Oldest daughter started college this fall and bought a car for my youngest daughter who is next in line to college.
I really appreciated all the great and insightful info I received when I joined this forum about my car. A wealth of knowledge resides here.
So, I have decided that my project needs to move on to someone that has the time and vision to enjoy this car.
My question to the group is should I try and sell it whole or part it out? I want to be fair either way but I also know any proceeds are going to tuition for my daughter. Any input on value that you experts can pass on as far as to selling it complete or as parts is very appreciated.
I never got to drive the car after getting it running due to needing the brakes fixed first and in some way I am glad I didn't because it probably would have made this decision even harder. I have copied the link below that has a lot of info on the car.
Thanks in advance for any positive or negative input! I hope to be back, post-college kids, and find that BE that I know will be around for me.
