if it doesn't sell, i will free up the brakes after my MN trip and bring it home........once it's home i will have more time to work on it.......between me and my fiance we could get a good portion done quickly.......it sucks because it's sitting in my bud's mini yard right now, so im limited to time to work on it...........if it was at home it would be another story........just no room in the garage untill i clear out some of the customer cars.....

Just to give you a ballpark estimate. It was going to cost me around $700 to ship on a car carrier from Tampa, fl to Pittsburgh, pa. You needed to have enough ground clearance to put a fist under the car at the lowest point and I did not have that. The other option was to ship it in a enclosed container made for transporting cars for $1200. I probably could get the carriers name if you're interested.

I was on vacation with no tools and no idea of what I was getting into, which is why I ended up getting a uhaul.

I could also have ripped the whole exhaust pipe off and put it inside of the car just to get it on the truck in less than 5 minutes but I didn't know that at the time.

By the way it cost about 1000 bucks with gas/truck/trailer to drive it myself.
