This thread is typed with a heavy heart.I picked up a 99 SL chassy earlier this year and began to completely restore the car from the frame out. The plan was to convert the car to an AWD VR4 show car putting down 600whp. Due to life changes (marriage, school, daily driver vehicle dying) I am afraid I can't complete this project.
This is a list of all my stuff for sale. EVERYTHING IS BRAND NEW and shipping is NOT included!
3.5 Pampena stroker short 4-bolt block - $5750 - save the core crank/block over making your own. The core block and crank were not spun bearing pieces ($1000 in core parts alone!) You will need to arrange freight shipping from Ray's shop where the engine currently resides.
DR Stage 3 heads with Rays head lift fix - $2500 - core heads are from a 4 bolt motor that never had any timing issues. Ray charges $500 alone for the head lift fix so you're getting a deal! You will need to arrange freight shipping from Ray's shop where the engine currently resides.
Powder coated engine and accessory brackets - $500 - This is every single piece of metal that's attached to the engine. Some pieces are black chrome and some pieces are metallic dark grey

(note the brown pieces are now black)
DR 750s with stock Waste Gates - $3200 - these were made from brand new 13Gs NOT worn out 9Bs so you're saving $1400 right there! Shipping will be extra (PM me your zip code for a quote). Will consider selling with Forge 12psi wastegates for $300 extra.
ARP Head studs - $330 - save yourself $10 from buying these from ANY shop
Complete OEM engine gasket and accessory kit - $1300 - this includes 4 bolt oil pump, water pump, timing belt, ALL gaskets (rear main seal, head gaskets...). Even cherry hill can't get you this stuff for less than this.

VR4 front brake calipers, pads and rotors - $250 - PM me to discuss rebuilding and powder coating these calipers
Black powder coated tein s-tec AWD springs with new OEM front struts (I haven't purchased rear struts yet) - $400
As for the 99 SL chassy itself, it has about 125K miles and AFAIK has never been in an accident and has a clean/clear title. The flywheel exploded which put a hole in the hood. The paint still shines but has several scratches and dings. I have done a full black interior swap with 6 new OEM infinity speakers, AWD vac assisted clutch pedal assembly with NEW OEM master cylinder, ABS delete with OEM parts. I've sanded/derusted the entire chassy and sprayed fresh under body coating. Currently in the fuel tank is a like new OEM VR4 fuel pump assembly with a stock VR4 pump (the fuel tank is FULL of gas meaning there is NO rust). The fuel pump is hot wired and the wring is cleanly tucked with the fuel lines. Many of the bolts and brackets on this car have been cleaned and powder coated. Even the firewall insulation was degreased and painted flat black. This is a PERFECT chassy for whatever you can dream up.
The chassy comes with a true 98 VR4 engine wire harness and Jesters 99 Clone ECU ($1000 worth of parts right here). It also comes with 6-speed shifter cables swapped in and the driver side half shaft needed for the AWD trans. The hole for the driver side IC is cut out and I do have a set of 99 style innercoolers and OEM turbo oil cooler I can include for extra. The car is missing the 99 heads and turns.
I've swapped out all the lock cylinders on the car for good condition ones and the car has 3 keys and one keyless remote!
Would like to get $1750 for the chassy.

The car comes with a set of true black leather power seats. Driver side is worn. For $250 extra I'll include a perfect set of true black leather power seats (you'll get both sets of seats).
If you would like to discuss purchasing this car as a turn key built vehicle, shoot me a PM. I want to see this thing go to a good owner!
More parts and pics will be added as time goes on.




I picked up a 99 SL chassy earlier this year and began to completely restore the car from the frame out. The plan was to convert the car to an AWD VR4 show car putting down 600whp. Due to life changes (marriage, school, daily driver vehicle dying) I am afraid I can't complete this project.
