Default thinking about gutting my car out

Sup guys, well for some time now i have been thinking about gutting my car out, I mean everything. I drive a 1990 Si hatch the whole Interior is in "MINT" condition even the seats are. the only thing that i would be keeping is the dash and maybe the passenger side seat. the back 2 side windows and the sun roof would be sold too. so my question is what would all this be worth if i was to seel it all in one Lot like on ebay would $650. or $600. be to much to ask.


if any one could help me out just post up, and if you wanna buy it let me know that too. Thanks

Isaac-

I gutted mine on my old car and it was one of the worst mistakes I made with that car... do not do it unless it is a weekend only trailored drag car/autoX car. The results are worth next to nothing except a shitty looking interior.

Do it if you want, but keep your parts handy if you don't like it later you can put them back. Don't get ripped buying your own parts back.

if you do gut it, take your time and make sure you don't f*ck anything up in the process. keep it around for a while just in case you decide you don't like it stripped. that way you still have all the parts in tact and don't have to go rumaging through junkyards like I did when I bought a car with no interior. and in a couple of months, if you decide you like it stripped, then sell it. there will still be plenty of people that will buy it from you in a couple of months. just my .02

Gutting sucks... you'll regret it. the interior in an EF doesn't weigh enough to really make a difference. Keep it stock on the inside.

if it were me.... id say hell **** no!
but since it is you...
i think you should go for it!
then you can sell me the rear seat, seat belts and cargo cover

and remember an air body saw is your best friend when it comes to weight reduction.

while your at it, you dont really need that rear hatch do you?
i mean if you have no carpet, there is nothing to ruin if rain gets in there.
you could save at least 10 more pounds
but dont forget to remove the gas shocks, i need those too!

Kinda depends on if you drive the car every day. Also, if you have other people riding in it. If you answered either of those questions with a yes, I'd say don't gut it..

Do this and u will be satisfied.
Keep all ur carpet in the front, and your flormats and center console and stuff. Just gut it from the back seats and on back. Like the big side panels, backseat, cargo cover, spare tire cover and the carpet over that.
Then get some degreaser and clean all the paint make it look nice
