Hey Mitch,
This caught me totally off guard. I know how good your car is and know you have a lot into it. This will be a great deal for someone.

Thanks guys, not in a hurry and really torn. I have another project that I am working on and the extra space and money would speed up completion. So thought I would put it out there.
Other wise I have a few things I want to do to the car over the winter and play with it again in the spring. It is really fun to drive by cars that cost 4-6 time the 818.
FYI I also have new spare front fenders, Facia, and headlights.

I am not going anywhere Hobby, First the car has to sell for what it is worth to me. If it doesn’t sell I have my track activity planned. The car is too much fun not to play with it.
I also have another project in the pipeline.

Car is currently being prepared for the upcoming season. One change being made is opening up the front fender flairs to allow more clearance 235/40X17 front tires. I have run a 235 front 265 rear set up but front fender clearance was an issue. Once I have the fenders done I will post some updated photos.

My 818R has SOLD. The car heads to the new owner tomorrow, I am already feeling separation anxiety and sad to see it go. But on to finish my Ecoboosted Falcon and starting to think about my next FFR build.
