Yeah I got it running already I cant even say what it was but lets just say it was incredibly simple to get it to crank. Working on getting the tires all fixed - they all have massive bead leaks and wont hold air.

Car will be up for sale soon... It runs and runs great after I put back together all the stuff they started taking apart for no reason - they started taking apart stuff like the VPC, ECU wiring, ignition driver was off the car, you name it all because the car would not CRANK lol.

Last thing I need is another DSM or any toy car for that matter - so I will probably try to flip it for a price where I make a few bucks for my effort and still give it to someone at a steal of a price so I sell it quick.

"Im thinking its probaby worth around the $5k Samantha was originally asking, and I have about $2200 into it between pickup and parts and what not. Split the difference with me at $3500 and its yours. Seeing as how some seemed willing to pay $2750 with it not running and stuck in a barn with 4 flat tires, I don't think that is unreasonable. I will also go over everything that it needs and that I have found, so you won't have to "gamble" like I did, and you don't have to find a bunch of the "easter eggs" like I did. I will tell interested parties what exactly I have fixed on it so far."

Yeah I had added posts to samanthas original threads. With the illness, work, and working on getting the last two tires fixed I havent managed to actually take pics and put up a new official for sale thread but it is indeed for sale!

Just messed with it again today, went up and down the block a few times - it was so fast, my neighbor up the street came walking over and complained that my street was not a race track... He commented on how fast the car was as well lol.

Its semi cleaned up, all four tires fixed up and balanced, put the interior mostly back together, it actually looks really nice.

Official for sale thread to come soon.
