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.

I am sad to see you are selling this project off- but I get it. Time is a biatch. Just a thought, when we picked up my chassis and the parts that had not disappeared from VA we used a U-Haul box truck and picked the chassis up and set it on 4 tires (no rims) in the back of the truck and secured it the best we could with some straps. Drove it from VA to CA and it never moved. I think it was the 26' truck. We had plenty of room for everything. It was me and the owner of the shop that loaded it by quasi-rolling it on a dolly up the truck ramp and then getting it on the tires. When we off-loaded it at Kent's shop ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) ) he asked a couple guys from neighboring shops to come lend a hand and they picked it up and set it on a dolly. All in all, a no brainer. Good luck with your sale and have a blast in Mexico. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
