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.

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.

Since it is in the gallery, post some pix up of your ride and your $40K worth of mods 






I don't have any good pics of what it used to look like...sorry.
Now:






but stick with it every good build has problems you just have go through them head strong and its not worth the loss you will have..and you will more than likely regret the hell out of selling it
