FS: Spec Boxster project

I have a roller with engine and transmission, GT Racing F/G hardtop, and Hanks rollcage (uninstalled) for sale. I have removed the majority of the interior but we have most of it in storage. The engine was out of the car when I bought it so I don't know the status or details. I was planning on buying another one and building the existing engine as a spare.
Need it gone ASAP.
$5000 ONO
Houston, TX

I'm curious, but not likely to buy due to too many current projects.

Is this the roll cage? : Porsche 986 Boxster Roll Cage - Hanksville Hot Rods
What year is the car?
Any suspension work done?
Does it have a clear title available in case a buyer wants it streetable?
Can you post any pics of the car or parts?
Any wheels or track tires that may be of interest?
Intact wire harness?
Are the electronics: key fob/central locking system (under the driver's seat)/DME operational? Headlight, tails, etc included?
Any safety gear included? Seat/harness/steering wheel etc.

As a stripped out roller, the price is not impressive, but it may be a great deal depending on the details.

Please forgive the delay in my response.

When we hook up the battery everything works as it should in regards to lights, blinkers, etc.

That is the cage but I added the diagonal bar at the top and NASCAR bars for the driver's side.

I have a bill of sale but I have not chased down the title as my last (3) SPB's didn't have titles either.

No extra parts or wheels are included and nothing has been added or modified to the suspension or brakes as we were just getting started.

The killer for me is the shipping.
Is the engine and trans installed in the car right now? (read the right way, your original post could make one think you've installed it)

I'll have to get some power to the battery to see the miles. I'll let you know ASAP.

The engine and transmission are not installed.

Is the car still at Einar's garage? I have a friend that's kind of interested in buying a spec boxster for his son. How should he get a hold of you? I have Einar's number if that's who we contact to look at it

The roller is at my place about 3 minutes from Einar's.

He has the cage, engine and gearbox at his place.

You have reached my 'buy threshold'. I can't commit yet. I'm trying to figure out logistics and I'm not sure can work it. I'll send a pm.

Anybody else: don't hesitate to buy it before I do.

It's going to happen. Not a spec Boxster per se, but I've wanted a caged car for a few years now. Thanks Chad.
