Builds What's a Parts Guy to Do?? (2 Viewers)

Isn't this kind of a showcase for your business?

No.

This is:

Get yourself into the mindset of your 90 year old self, if he has no regrets about selling it, get rid of it for no doubt mucho dinero and start that business!!

 

[jfnall]

The best part about all these "toys" is they are all deductible expenses. Fun expenses and business expenses all on the same expense report is a nice thing to have. Makes the bottom dollar sale even more valuable to you.

Tough decision, once it's gone it's gone, and this is what you have to wrestle with. Will the financial gain help you achieve that next level? What else goes with the sale? You know the intangibles. Selling an 80 series, at least for me, would be because the 80 is bland. Not so with the 60s as they posses something that speaks to the soul. If you sell your 60 how much of yourself goes with it?

 

[OGBeno]

Good points Jim. Very good points coming from a seasoned veteran like yourself.

I am grappling with it right now.

But, my truck sitting is not making me successful and taking my game to the next level.

My 80 speaks to my soul regularly.

It does help that we have grown old together however.......

To be clear "80" is the "Series" and not the age right .

 

[cruiserdan]

Interchangeable at times......

 

[OGBeno]

Great.... now I have the 70 series knitting guys in my thread. Awesome.

 

[cruiserdan]

I do NOT knit.

 

[OGBeno]

I do NOT knit.

And to think you would have learned how from Sarah.





She is, after all, really quite good.

 

[cruiserdan]

She quilts and tie-dyes. Knitting is too pedestrian for her.

 

[OGBeno]

Going to have to shut this thread down again.

 

[cruiserdan]

And I can open it.

 

[OGBeno]

^^^ Reported.

 

[cruiserdan]

Re-reported.....


The first liar doesn't have a chance.

Jim's comment is the most profound truism I think I have ever read on Planet Earth. Holy Cow! The Dalai Lama speaks.

I think I might have those words inscribed on my Tombstone.
(Which will be resting above my FJ60 coffin in which I will be buried).

Well s***. So much thinking on the open desert roads of Southern Utah and I made a couple of decisions:

1. Keeping 60. No brainer.

2. Pulling 2F and installing 1HZ.



Thanks to @DanS HJ-45 @joekatana and @AlbertoSD for making me think straight.

More in the coming months.

0 mile 2F with every damn thing new that could ever be new is now available for sale. Low ballers need not contact me.

 

[OGBeno]

2F and H55F have been sold and amazingly enough it wasn't to a tire kicker who told me what it is worth. I told him what it is worth.

Amazing concept.

I have a number of 2F engine components (new OEM) that will be available for sale shortly.

1HZ long block core has been secured as well as @orangefj45 engine mounts.

I'm going to love watching this thread.
