Is the kit still for sale?
This is the kicker!
Had I been Ken I'd have been ninja quiet
until I had verified if the kit was still available. If it was gone then posting the car would be proper.
If there was a tiny chance it might still be available, I'd have hunted that to completion before posting as someone else might be interested.
I've been involved with fiberglass mods most of my life (my dad!) and have come to the conclusion that ALL fiberglass that is bonded to sheet metal WILL crack and disconnect with time. Might take a while but it will require further work down the road.
Having an extra kit (especially a never installed one!) means the one on the car will last longer.
Ninja proverb: If you have a spare available ready to install you will not need it until directly after you dispose of it.
I keep spares...
I'd not want to get into a bidding war on a kit that the seller was having trouble getting rid of 7 years ago.
I'd have been quiet!
Now, the car in question looked like a damn good buy. Looks like he's into it for less than 15 and if it's right it will be an absolute hoot to drive!
It's not perfect but it's not a roach either.
He was also a player on a 44K car that looked better but was back for sale within a month of the auction. That's a HUGE red flag for me!
I think he was lucky to miss the black one!

I do...
He's driving his!
His will be faster than 80% of the builds on here...
