Description:

I have a 2004 R53 JCW I purchased with 103k and looked in showroom condition. It was a dealership add on for the JCW kit. I’ve replaced parts as required and as need from driving. This little guy has heart and loves the road, I’ve driven the coast route from Portland to Los Angeles 4x and always had an excellent time. It currently needs a water pump, plus parts that go with it. My current health doesn’t allow me to tear down the engine to replace and we all know the labor cost from most shops are costly. When I lived in Portland most of all maintenance was preformed by Madness Motorworks. The car is in southern Arizona currently. I started a project several years ago that needs finishing. I purchased a GP (2006) body kit complete with all front bumper pieces along with flaired rear bumper trim and diffuser parts. I also have an aggressive air intake scoop. Also included are new Aero side skirts… all these parts still need to be color matched. Car has Bilstein struts, tower plates, convertible tower braces, cold air intake, kenwood deck, jbl speakers. 
im hoping to find a true first gen lover that would continue to take care of this awesome little car.
price up for negotiation, with or without GP kit. More photos to come…

Does the car run and drive? The sentence "my current health doesn't allow me to tear down the engine to replace..." following the sentence stating the car needs a water pump seems to indicate the car does not run well.

Water pump

Car runs like new still, you can top off coolant, but leaks back out over a day. I have a pulmonary lung disease that prohibits me to work on the car. Water pump is attached to supercharger located in center of engine area. Shop labor requires for removal of half of the front of car to access. Shop rates makes it rather expensive… to much for me.
does that help explain?
