What do you guys think? Ive had this old Nova GTE for 6 years and have done a lot of work to it but now with the arrival our son and a new job I don't have time nor the money to complete it, never mind use it. Its got a lot good bits on it (spec below) so im in two minds whether or to spend time splitting it or trying to sell as a whole. Its on ebay just now but im not hopeful. Opinions?

7x16" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s on 195/40 Dunlops (wheel stud conversion)
Bilstein B10 dampers with custom springs (very low)
Willwood Midilte 4 pot front calipers with 280mm discs and braided lines
Astra GTE rear disc conversion with new dics and calipers
Fabricage 6 point cage with door bars and rear cross plus MPS rear brace (all powdercoated white)
Cobra Imola S side mounted seats and scroth harnesses
OMP dished wheel
Flocked Dash (unfitted)
Carbon fibre interior panels, doors, and rear section plus scuttle cover
Custom alcantara covered false floor
Flocked battery box (battery mounted in rear)
Engleman Manta 400 mirrors on carbon bases
Piper exhaust system with, sportex 4 branch
Vernier Pulley (not fitted)
Samco Hoses
K&N 57i
Polished tanks and loom cover
OMP strut brace
New doors
Orginal GTE bodykit (bumpers, skirts, gril and wrap round wing)
Fibreglass bootlid with persex rear screen (as shown in photo with white bootlid)
Many new miscellaneous parts including (but not limited to) inginton coil, battery, radiator, headlights, interior door handles, bearings, clips and fixings, bonnet pins, areotec annodised bolts (used everywhere!!), new original rubber gear gaiter, tailored GTE branded mats, fire extinguisher, flocked rear damper covers, 2 sets of MK4 astra mudflaps....

NOT SHOWN IN PHOTOS: the rear arches have been cut out and replaced with new metal to replace the rotten ones shown with a temporary fix. The car is now rust free.

REQUIRED TO COMPLETE: handbrake cable, wiper motor earth wire fixed and finally painted.

Stunning Nova, its a shame to sell it! I think you will get more braking but it depends if u have the time and space! As you havnt got time to finish it surely its going to take longer to brake though??

Was looking for about 2.5k for it all in, but I'm not hopeful of getting near that.
