I bought a totally rusted out ’71 to salvage some parts. Never before seen a car where there was literally no floor, and the bottom 1/3 of the longs were rusted away. An astonishingly bad effort to weld in a home made piece of sheet metal to substitute for a floor, and ignoring the fact that structurally this would never have worked, not to mention that the right wheel console was completely missing (that's not maladjusted camber!)
I got the suspension and steering parts I wanted, and a few misc. things, then I cut up what was left. I learned a lot about how the chassis was designed and assembled, but it was kind of weird to deliberately “kill” the donor while I’m trying to “save” my '75, which is still on the rotisserie. I’m getting a dumpster next week and will lug all the component parts in and have it hauled away. But I find myself wondering if there’s anyone that might benefit a few body parts that don’t seem totally destroyed by rust. For instance, one fender and one quarter panel seem ok, and the hood and trunk, though ugly, might be salvageable for someone. Engine compartment lid. Perhaps the targa top. Am I wasting time here or might anyone want me to take photos and see if there’s something useful? I’m not looking to sell, happy to give away (I’m in central Connecticut). I just hate see some potentially useful 914 part go to the dump. |
