The Bad
Some of the above parts are not yet installed (car does roll!)
Engine and trans are not installed (waiting on a new cradle)
Paint / Body has patina
Car was converted to electric in the past, has 5 small odd holes cut in trunks
Bumpers are there but not perfect (no rear bumper top)
No Battery tray (electric conversion victim)
Had aftermarket mirrors (extra holes)

I'm located in Anaheim, CA

I will load more pics tomorrow now that the rain has stopped.

What was your plan on the motor for ECU? Stock & do you have the complete wiring harness to get it? Will be fairly important to whoever takes the project on

The plan was to run a Link Thunder or Fury ecu as they have a map that allows you to run all the factory sensors. I have not purchased it yet but I do have the connector to wire it directly to the OEM engine harness and all the wiring manuals in PDF to go with it.
