Good evening. Premo inquired first so he's got 'right of first refusal' I'm in NJ too and interested in building or buying. Do you have a price in mind and picks?
Oh I see. I thought you were looking for a used goblin per the post. I misunderstoodHey what’s going on, but I can’t buy the Goblin for the Listed price. I just purchased a Cobalt I’m going to build a Goblin thank you for the offer.
Your posts are confusing. You are wanting to buy a Goblin, but not for a reasonable value. Then you indicate you bought a Cobalt and can build a turbo Goblin cheaper. Please clear up what you are looking to accomplish and the forum can help you. And be careful stating you can build a Goblin cheaper, since those of us who have built or are building one know what the cost is - and it goes beyond just buying the basic kit from DF and purchasing a donor.I am looking for a used Goblin but not for that price. It cheaper to build one. I don’t want to but I will if I have too. What’s your lowest price.
Your basic set of tools constitutes a set of metric and SAE wrenches and sockets. If you're starting from nothing, any of the big box home improvement type stores will have a "mechanic's tool set" that will set you up well enough to get going on this project. This thread also includes some additional tools that builders have found helpful and aren't typically included in the aforementioned sets.Kenny, Great looking Goblin. I've got some more research I need to do first. I'm not even a novice when it comes to car engines, etc but I hope to learn in this process. I need to determine some basic things like... what do I need to do to register in NJ, what is a 'basic set of garage tools' that DF states, and how am I going to pick up an engine. If any of that becomes 'too hard' and buying one is my only way, then I may be back. thanks
Thank you very much. We LOVE this thing and honestly I'm not super sad if it doesn't sell hahah. Just have to be responsible and at least make an effort. Hey if no one buys it I can clear my conscience and know I gave it a valiant effort while I rip the hell out of it hahahaha.Kenny, Great looking Goblin.

I'd be interested in any responses to this too -- curious to see what it takes to have someone else's build registered in another state and getting it registered in California.Amongst forum members I think we've got pretty decent understandings of the titling and registration processes in most states, for new builds. How different is the process for registering a completed and previously-titled build? I only have experience with South Carolina registration, where nearly anything goes, but I am confident I would've had fewer hoops to jump through if I were purchasing someone else's registered build. I assume the Montana route is still an option if your state still doesn't want your tax money.
