914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Parts Heaven swapmeet
Posted by: JimN73 May 19 2010, 10:30 AM
Last year, Al and Spencer from Parts Heaven in Hayward invited all teeners to participate in their informal gathering. We were assigned to the lot next to Parts Heaven - up against the building.
About a dozen 914s made the trip.
Invitation is open again this year, June 6.
Details for the official Concours and the swapmeet are on the website:

Interested parties might just find The Cap'n and The Lovely Lyn in attendance. You know what to look for ................... The rest of the family will be home, cleaning their assault weapons and feeding the pit bull........................................

I'm sure I can make it over...found quite a bit of good stuff a few years back

I'll be there.
I have a pair of black vinyl-covered fiberglass 911 door pockets that I'd like to get rid of. I wonder if anyone will mind if I just carry them around with a for sale sign on them (I don't wanna sit at a table all day trying to sell 'em!)? Or if anyone on this board is planning to staff a table, I'll give a commission to sell 'em and a few other 911 parts (PM me).

You might just want to list those on pelicanparts.com, I've had good luck with selling stuff on there...

years ago, a fellow used to pull a "radio flyer" full of swap meet stuff, along the road at the swap meet. Had a "for sale" sign on the side....

I have always gone to this event when I lived full time in Santa Clara; have purchased many items including my 1987 Sixer engine for the current project; always enjoy doing parts swapping/buying at this meet. Parts Heaven are great to do business with.
Will miss it by two weeks since I have to be in California at the end of June for friend's wedding.
Everyone attend and enjoy. Usually see a lot of people you know.

I'll probably show up and spend more money than I need to. Last year it was a set of front monoballs. Maybe I can find some rear monoballs this year.

I am going and driving my 914! Is the parking area still open for us? I sold my parts so no red wagen. 
Posted by: Lennies914 Jun 4 2010, 08:38 PM
I wasn't sure until rob mentioned doughnuts. I'm in. Do we really get our own parking area?
Posted by: Krieger914 Jun 4 2010, 09:11 PM
I remember other p cars in there too...previously.
Posted by: RobW Jun 4 2010, 11:32 PM
I could off some parts too.... but I don't have the time or patience for a booth...
Maybe we could get going a virtual swap meet and then meet up at the event?
I need a nice dash, including the top padded section, a working Porsche radio, ball joints, plastic rivets, sail panel vinyl + trim, and heater flapper boxes...
I have: a NOS FG stock front valence (never mounted never painted), Momo Protipo steering wheel + hub, 2.0 Euro Header Exhaust system, a temp / tank gauge, and a couple tubs of misc parts.

Hey Rob, shoot me pics of the steering wheel, I am looking for one. Also, somebody please find me some CHEAP, good "M" and "S" gears before the evil doctor kicks my ass!

Nice trip. Didn't sell much, might have made expenses, maybe. Saw lots of you, had a good time. Had dinner at Buffalo Bill's on Saturday evening. I highly recommend it! Good beers and ales, great food. While Lyn is a good helper at loading/unloading the van, it's becoming a chore, and the fun's going away. This year's Ventura may be our last swap meet as sellers. Should anyone here be interested in coming to Santa Maria for a couple of days, I'm hereby offering ALL my 914 parts to the first person making a reasonable offer. Probably have a large pickup load, maybe more. Some sheet metal, lots of engine tin, trannies, some interior parts, trim, whatever. Mostly good stuff. It's spread out all over the shop and shed, and we'd have to find it all. One condition: You take it ALL or help me toss what you don't take.

It was good seein' ya and I agree.... it sure did feel different this year. There were more than a few notable venders NOT there this year...
Posted by: scrz914 Jun 7 2010, 02:17 PM
It did seem that the vendor section was quite a bit less. I just figured it was because I got there earlier than usual. Not much for 914s. More for the 911 and 356. Even the "Crusty one" didn't seem to have much for the 914. Very congenial fellow though.
I still managed to get a couple of good parts. Scored a 009 distributer for my '73.
There was some really nice 914s in the car show portion. One of my favorites was the bright orange/red one that had all chrome trim taken off. Those that held seals were painted black. Really clean and simple. Wish I had taken pictures. Also there was a Green metallic six that was a standout. Oh, and the Creamsicle...hell they were all nice.

Yes, and the black Boxster Spyder made me feel kinda funny in a good way..

Anybody find the gears I needed?

Yes! I like that look. I like the spartan interior too. No backpad, nice carpet.
How did you get the paint to stick on the aluminum pieces? Did you sand off the anodizing?
Posted by: scrz914 Jun 7 2010, 11:16 PM
I was there when the Creamsicle was being judged. Did anyone else see the spider weaving a web in the open passenger window? I wonder if there was a deduction for that.

No, sorry.... I tried.

There is no aluminum there. I eliminated those pieces. The metal flange on the targa that holds those pieces was carefully cut off and welded up and painted. The front winshield trim was eliminated and used a generic winshield seal cut to fit the appropriate lenght. I think somebody here sells this. The pieces that hold the seals around the door glass were powder coated satin black.
