Returning the AMG back to stock

So I'm going to return my car back to stock and sell off the parts soon. Why, you ask? Well, put simply, I walked into an 2005 SL 600. This beast has replaced the AMG for sheer power and performance. This will also let the 32 get some well deserved rest.

If you're keeping the C32, why return it to stock?

I'm not saying keep modding the 32, but how much will the mods really be worth taking them off and selling them? It really wouldn't be worth it at all unless he's doing all the labor himself.

I agree, keep it as is. It is usually only worth removing mods if you do the labor yourself as stated AND you are selling the car.

I will be selling the car in the next 6 months. Most of the labor I can do on my own, save for the headers. I have a friend for that. But before I do that, getting some better mileage would be nice before then, heh. Parts will come off in the next couple weeks or so. Have an upcoming surgery on the 13th.
