If you sold that package for four grand then you made out pretty well after this accident. 
Until the deal is finalized, I will not say who it is ... if they wish to comment, they can feel free to do so.
Price was $4,500 installed or shipped. I need to get some sleep ... tow truck driver will be dropping off the car around 8AM

Engine and most of the front end components are on the garage floor. I'm taking a break for about an hour and refueling my body! I sweat EVERY easily, so I had to work slow and take my time and keep taking breaks to drink water and wipe off ... started at 8AM, took a break for coffee & dohnut at 10, started again at 11 and took another break at 1 ... finished at 2:30.
The ONLY problem that I see is a small oil leak at the pan gasket on the right rear ... that's where it hit hardest before rolling ... probably loosend the bolts. I will retorque and clean everything up tomorrow. The rest of today will be pulling the A/C system, heater core, ABS box & lines, Break booster & pedal set ... the works!
Tomorrow I will clean everything and inventory it so that I can have pictures for the classifieds section.
Cheers!

Well, this thread really has turned into my own personal blog as of late. Finally some closure on this damned evil car ... it was towed Monday morning by a local salvage yard. I wasn't there to see it or take pictures as I was on a train heading to NYC.  From NYC, I caught the LIRR to Huntington and picked up my wife's new (to her) 02 Mountaineer. Shameless plug: the 97 Explorer that this Mounty is replacing is for sale ... click the link in the signature for more details. So, until development continues, keep your eyes on the classifieds section as I have quite a few parts for sale ranging from the clock spring (brand new ... only 10-15 miles on it before rolling the car), to a front bumper (never on the car) with a Mirko splitter attached (splitter is cracked like most, but repairable). I hope to pick this thread back up in about a month or two after I have sold the engine/trans and installed it for the new owner. In the meantime, I'm going back to the basics and building up my race block for a few hours each night when I feel like it.

Last pictures that where taken of the car before it was towed the next day: I always see "wash me" finger written into dirty cars ... my take on it with a philips head screw driver   At this point, it doubled nicely as a trash dump

Well, this thread started with my problems with this car and it will end with it's departure. This will be my final post in this thread. When turbo kit development resumes, I will start a new thread to document that process. My this thread die in peace
