hopefully. The blue I'd want to pocket at least 2500$ once done.
The silver is prolly ask 5k. I'll wait for people to tel me other wise. That car will have more unique stuff you won't find ever on a redline. Ever lol. Ever ever. I should go update that thread. With more pics of stuff going in it

Put some wrench time on the cobalt. Took off rad completely. Took off the front wheels and got it ready to drop the motor. Just the cradle bolts and top mount and she is out.

So got the motor out. I just hit a fork on the road. Went to dealership to look at the SS. I don't know what to do. Get rid of cobalt. Part it out and put a massive down payment. Give up on getting the SS.
:/

This is what I was saying to myself. I've had the car for about 5ish years. I've done so much to it and it never really scratched my back. It was always broken. I have sentimental value for it. It's my 1st official car I bought and paid off from a dealer. This car helped me fix my credit but it always put me in the hole.

Who wants to buy a built short short block for 3k. It's what I paid

You know you are going red eventually so just do it now. You will build the cobalt if you keep it and then just start breaking stuff all over again. Mine is fbo e47 and gets good mileage, and is in terrific shape with 41,000. If it was in the state of repair your is in I would probably move on. C6z06, ats awd, or an ss. Just get it over with. But don't expect to get decent money for all your parts because cobalt guys are broke.
