Giving Up, Abandoning the project Options

[amfab]

Hi Everyone,

After not touching it for four years, I am reluctantly giving up on my 914-6 project for a variety of reasons: the tub needs too much work, i was dealing with some health issues, I have been wanting to spend more time down in Mexico working on my house there, playing around with my boat etc. I just crossed 60 and it seems there is just not enough time for it all.

In the next few months, I will be selling off the parts I have collected over the years. This will include a 1986 3.2 with a 915, restored chrome bumpers, decent seats and interior bits, fiberglass hoods, repro 914-6 rear calipers, restored alpha brembo fonts, 15 inch Fuchs, stainless headers, oil tank, restoration sheet metals bits, aluminum front cross members, a decent interior, 19mm master cyl. restored gas tank, etc. I also have a lot of 914-4 suspension bits and other parts lying around, front A-arms and a few doors, glass, window trim, gauges, taillights, and lenses—just a ton of little things leven a nice rotisserie with a jig thingy I made. I was collecting for so long I dont even remember what I have.

I have a couple of questions before I start digging stuff out and listing all this stuff and begin selling it off.

1) is there any sort of swap meet in Southern California that I could just trailer a bunch of stuff to anymore? I remember the old Pomona swap meet back in the day. And didn't Bruce stone set up a few swapmeets in the past?

2) I know posting in the classifieds requires pricing and I have been out of the loop for a few years so I will need some assistance with valuation. Where in the forum should I be asking those types of questions?

My main goal is to not make abandoning my project another big project.

Thank you in advance for any ideas, assistance or other comments.

Put the chassis on a rental trailer. The rental cos. Will require a box truck to pull the car trailer, which should be big enough to fit whatever parts need to make the trip.

Just a clarification on this

U-haul will rent car trailers without box truck. Just did it in February when I bought and hauled VW bugs.

They do require that the tow vehicle GVW be 80% (or very close to that ) of the weight of car being hauled + trailer weight combo, have appropriate hitch receiver weight weighting. Also have to have working trailer lights (4 pin) which is sort of common sense.

They basically have an online tool that will let you know what they will approve. Enter your tow vehicle details+ what your towing and it will not allow you to select that trailer if the combo isn’t appropriate.
