So- sell him a balled up b16 swapped CR-X and a mini shell, that's about as unfinished as the project gets lol.

About 75% of them seem to be unfinished projects. Out of the remaining ones, 20% are finished and are for sale, and there might be 5% that are finished that the owner actually likes and is planning on keeping.

Not sure why people who want these are the same people who don't know the difference between V-tech (which makes telephones) and VTEC (which is something that kicks in), but I would guess that over half of the people I've seen posting that they want a Mini with a Honda engine refer to it as a V-tech.

Could be a trap! Local had a 53 panel truck stolen and put an ad on Craigslist looking for a 53 panel truck and other specifics that described his truck.

Guess who called?

That was my first thought too.

I typically give the common criminal too much credit and automatically figure they wouldn't fall for such a thing...but that's probably my mistake.

I like my V-Tech phones. Can't imagine one swapped into an engine compartment.

At least they are cordless....

I'm running a 2.4 GHz one now, but I am thinking of overclocking it.
