Possible MSM part out coming soon in VA Beach

I just moved back to Hampton Roads in late December long story short my MSM got hit directly in the right rear hard enough for the rim to contact the coil over. Insurance company declared it a total loss told me it was worth 5k take the payout or get stuffed. I’m entertaining a few possibilities at the moment but I will most likely start parting it out after I’m done fighting the insurance company.

I will buy your valve cover and possibly your FMII turbo and manifold depending on condition and price.

I actually hired a private appraiser and he came up with a very reasonable value that I'm happy with. However the insurance company is now dragging their feet, the company my appraiser work for said they have been having problems with my insurance company on other cases.

When you get paid, opt to keep the car and then part it out.
you will net a few extra $1000

Oh’ I’m keeping the car, I’m so mad at my insurance company who will remain unnamed for the time being. I am not going to let them auction the car off for scrap. I want to the MSM specific parts to people that need or want them, like the diff and axles. Also I have a small stash of Miata parts I have a extra msm 6spd, a built short block, a bare 99-00 head, some cams bp04, nb alternator, that’s the spare crap I can think of. Stand by a forsale listing will be coming soon.
