Just keep it and turbo it. Or if your on your P's, buy an engine and build it till your off your P's. For how much you spent on it, doesnt really seem worth it to sell.

and alarm and tint 1200 = 10 400 even sadder haha how much could i get with a turbo?

With everything else youve done, a turbo would just top it off. So I think about 7g if you put a OG turbo engine in it.

geez i'd be tempted to keep it and whack a turbo motor in it. looks like you've already done all the hard stuff. i'd only sell it if i was going in a completely different direction. that's only my opinion. just don't "give" it away.

now you've got me thinking. i'm about to spend about 3.5k on a respray for my turbo. why wouldn't i buy yours and swap running gear? hmmm, probably not a bad thought i thinks. and no i'm not affected by alcohol either!

I'm going to give this some serious thought. I'll get back to you tomorrow. Only thing is i'm in Sydney so one us is doing the fly/drive thing. Still seems like a good idea though. Can any one see why i wouldn't go this way??
