Arrow Looking for some advice on my S2000

I have a turbo MY06 S2000 with a lot of mods and custom work done. I have spent around $40K on her thus far, not to include the price of the car itself. I am in the process of doing some more significant mods to the car, and as usual I am hitting more road blocks. From time to time I have gotten frustrated with the car and wanted to sell it. Well, I have reached that point again. I am losing all of my desire to continue the project, and am all but ready to cut my losses and walk away.

The problem is I have done some extreme mods to the car. I was in the process of making the car a track-only car, so I removed a bunch of items that weren't necessary for that type of car: no soft top, no heating / air conditioning system, no stereo, etc. If I was to sell that car it would have to be to someone who appreciates what's been done this far, and is interested in continuing the project. I can't simply part-out the very nice parts of the car, because that it would make the car itself even less sellable.

So, I come to you wise people looking for some sound advice here. Do I continue the project and just bare with all the problems? Do I try selling the car as-is and hope that I find a buyer who appreciates the work done thus far? Do I part-out the car, and try and sell it with it missing miscellaneous items?

Man, what a position I have put myself in.

1. Im pretty sure the car wont sell over "40,000"

2. If you supposedly spent 40,000 in mods (which I find incredibly hard to believe) your better off parting the car and then selling it to someone thats looking for a track car.

3. And how the hell did you spend 40,000 in mods? I mean lets assume a fully built stroked turbo engine with hardtop, super expensive rims, body kit, exhaust everything, I still cant add up more than 20,000.

Well, the gallery is a place for people to talk about their car...although mostly to show-off things about their car. I wasn't sure where else to place this thread--S2000 Talk, Under the Hood, FI forum, etc. aren't really good places either.

1. I wouldn't be asking $40K for it. I'd simply be asking what I owe--$28K.
2. If you click on the link in my sig you will sell all the mods done to the car. I have some very expensive items on it, and I've spent a lot of money on custom work. I have also bought things for the car, which I no longer have, but that it still included in the "spent over $40K" on her.
