Description:
NO PICTURES.

Putting the 4000 Quattro project up for sale, I want out of it and I want it out of my garage. Here is some info on the car and it's current state. 

4000 Quattro, Zermatt Silver, from VA, nice clean car. Gray leather interior which is in awesome shape, door panels are grey/black and are also very very nice. When the engine/tranny was out I pressure washed the engine bay and wheel well and it cleaned up really nicely. 

3b engine is in the car, wired up, etc etc. 

Now, for the bad news. 

Over the summer when it was out of the car a timing belt/water pump job was done. To verify the timing didn't move, marks were made on the pulleys to make sure that nothing moved. Got the car together and fired it up a few times on an open downpipe. Last night I got the exhaust buttoned up with a test pipe and fired it up and it sounds like a tank. 

So, what is the problem? Somehow the cam pulley mark that corresponds with the mark on the valve cover is on the bottom of the cam when it should in fact be on the top lined up with the top mark there. So the valves are fu(ked and I want out. 

I have spent too much time working on this car and it sickens me to think it was all a complete waste of time. I have no desire to tear it apart, I have no desire to spend the $ to have someone work on it, I want it gone. 

I will not part anything out as I have no desire to work on it anymore. You want a door handle-Fu(k you, buy the whole car. You want a window switch-Fu(k you buy the whole car. You see where I'm going with this? 

If you want any pics of the car, here is a link to my project thread on Motorgeek

I want $2000 for it as it sits, considering that there is a brands new Southbend Stage 3 clutch in there with about 3 minutes on it, I don't think that this is an unreasonable price. Brand new 034 track density mounts all around, etc etc. And the car is clean and solid.
