as title due to financial chaos once again, there is no choice but to let my 3 years of hard work go.

Dont do it mate, push it in the garage and leave it there. Find money else where. If you cant afford to finish it then leave it a year. Take time off from it, chuck a blanket over it and forget you even own it.

It's a shame you have to sell it, but I'm sure that you've thought it through. The only think that I'd say is that unfinished projects don't sell for much, although you don't want to split it I reckon you would sell it allot easier & get more money if you did. Alternatively have you thought about just selling the engine (and keeping the car) this will get you nearly as much as selling the whole car as a project, and will allow you to continue with your build when things improve.

Rob it only needs a small amount of wiring though, not talking unfinished project ie rollish shell which needs welding up and painted etc etc
