Not criticizing, just explaining.

You'd be better off pulling anything you want to keep from the car (ie, stereo, speakers, rims/tires, etc) and putting stock back on and dropping the price. The market just isn't there anymore.
Yeah, that's about what I expected. I figured I'd get more hits off of craigslist than here. Problem is that I can't return it to stock without spending a bunch more money. If I pulled the stage II kit off it wouldn't run anymore (don't have the stock bits anymore), but selling a non-runner would be even harder. If this car ends up getting scrapped it'd be without the new Alt, battery, stereo, etc. but even that might be a hard sell. I really don't want to see it go that way, but I just can't keep it myself and nobodyelse wants it. I wish I had a garage to keep this car and tinker with it.

I see two options: strip it down and have it hauled away (NOT preferred) or fix the issues out of pocket and hope to earn that money back (not likely). Talk about a-rock-and-a-hard-spot. I doubt anyone in the world has more experience buying and selling SVX than you, so your advice is highly regarded. Want to buy your old driveshaft back?
