1998 S70 T5 - Blown Head Gasket, Parts Incl, Twin Cities MN

I have a 1998 Volvo S70 T5 with a blown head gasket. I have purchased all the parts needed to do a complete gasket repair, timing belts and water pump, and started to do the repair myself but ran out of time and skill - I'm very sad to have to get rid of it! I also have a brand new battery for it. I have spent about $800 on parts (give or take), all engine parts purchased from FCP Groton and IPD. I'm asking $1000 for the entire package and hope to sell it to someone who will fix it up and drive it or send it out to a new good home! Prior to me getting ahold of the car, it had just received a new radiator, as well, and was running great.

The car is maroon, though the passenger doors, right fender and bumper are black (minor body-damage-only accident). It's got roughly 210k miles. I do have pictures, but they're not great - it's in an unlit garage so the sun kinda blows out the colors and you can't see much.

It's in a garage in South Saint Paul, and you would need to come tow it - looking to sell ASAP, cash only. The title is clean, no leins.

If you need the car body and some or none of the parts, make me an offer on that and I will consider it (I know some of you may have some of the parts necessary on hand and won't need a second set!).

Lots and lots of pictures would help you here

Okay, as I mentioned these aren't great, but maybe better than nothing.... As I've taken parts off, I've set them out on a table & labeled them; bolts are sorted into small rubbermaid sandwich-sized containers, and most, if not all, the new parts are still unopened.
