not parting it

Having fixed a couple minor issues, washed and driven it I realize it would be an unpardonable crime to part it out so it's going to get cleaned a bit more and sold. Listing coming as soon as I have a chance.
The paint is in very good condition it runs fine and top works perfectly, even the factory sterio is intact and working so as much as I'd like the parts I'll have to find another way even if I do lust after that redbox...
As to the issues it has, some alternator belt squeal and flaky charging, perhaps a bad cable or two and perhaps coming up on needing a CV joint. Besides that a really good wash inside and out and a little seat restitching and it will come close to resembling the $41,000 car it started life as.
The top is the original tan and is good but for two dime sized rubbings that should get fixed.
As soon as I drove it for a day I knew I couldn't kill that nice a car but thanks for the feedback, it's good to hear when you are being crazy.
I am still pondering a turbo swap for the silver N/A as I've looked at a dozen 900s from $600 to $7000 and have yet to find a straighter car with better paint and as bad as a motor swap is, paint is by far the hardest and most expensive part of the car. I might try a LPT setup first and see if I can live with it that way since I have all the parts sitting around.
