    GTX for parts or...

    Would anybody be interested in a GTX for parts or possibly a project? A guy came up to me at the grocery store today asking me about the car, says he has one just like it for parts. He said it has no rust on it, I think he said it's blue, that it was lower than mine on coilovers too. He said the top of the engine is all apart, the intake manifold is off, the turbo manifold is off not even sure if the turbo is there, all the belts and such are off too. Told me he paid $2500 for it as is which I doubt but who knows. He offered it to me much less than that though. Not sure what to do with it, I don't really have the money to spend on it now though. Does anybody need/want anything like this or parts from it, and what might it be worth? I'm supposed to go check it out in the next day or two anyway. I figured given the rarity of it I should at least go check it out.

          Here are some pictures I took of it this morning. Not as rust free as he had said. Well it would initially appear that way, but rather the rust has been slathered over with bondo. It does have coilovers but I could not see into the wheelwell enough to try and identify them. Interior was good just needs a cleaning. It also has only 190,000 kms on it. There was a giant front mount intercooler and a front bumper maybe from a Honda. Whatever it came from was wider than the Mazda and was sectioned in the middle to fit. The story is that the motor had a head gasket problem and the car's previous owner started to tear it down to replace the head gasket then realized it was too big of a job and gave up. So is this really worth anything? And if I can pick this up, do you guys want anything from it?

              He wants more than that for it. If he had told me $300 it would probably be in my driveway now.

                    I don't think you would want them, they have lots of bondo in them. Look at the close ups and you will see it.

                      I'd be interested in the shifter assembly.

                            The guy put the car up on craigslist but his price is about 3x as much as it is really worth in its current state.

                              Looks like there's a turbo on it already and another in the trunk, some sort of aftermarket downpipe.

                              The engine hasn't been torn down much looks like they took off some intake piping & the valvecover, not too much more than that?
