well, here is how, photo documentation:D

Well, a project this big, and apart needs planning.. And when the engine is apart, the easiest way to make sure none of the major bits get lost is to semi put it together..

Lay out the parts,

After laying everything out, taking pix(and sending them in "real time" to the buyer in Germany, you figure what goes back in the engine & what gets boxed.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-226-1329248915.3.jpg)
Now, since the P&Cs are long gone, and were completely useless(for me to say that gives you an idea how bad they were... So how do you mount the heads??
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-226-1329248916.4.jpg)
Like those composite cylinders...

The parts that don't go back, get bagged, boxed and this too gets photographed to make it easier for the new owner to know where everything is.

I had a few PMs, someone from the Carolina's on this board, and a few others on PP.

Carbs & air cleaner back on..

And now time to start packing & loading the engine parts in the car.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-226-1329249139.3.jpg)

After bagging & boxing, shrink wrap & tape the boxes, place them in the trunk, again, taking pix & sending at each step.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-226-1329249142.8.jpg)

this car didn't floors:D(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-226-1329249144.11.jpg)
So I had to get creative..(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-226-1329249145.12.jpg)
So anything that could be bolted on was.. And bumpers, shift-rod & drivers seat, being to big for the trunks, and no floors made it one more challenge,
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/forums.pelicanparts.com-226-1329249145.13.jpg)
big zip ties & shrink wrap to the rescue...

I am quite amazed someone would spend the money to have that shipped to Germany. There must be very few survivors over there that are left...

Good sale! I'm sure your glad to have that pile gone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I still think this'll be the PCA raffle car for next year...hahaha. The 911 they did this past year was REALLY rough too.

Good work on packaging it up and selling it!

Was that car used in a MIL-STD-810 Salt Spray test?

Someone is going to have to spend some serious coin to clean her up.

I like the PVC cylinders.

But overall, it would be simpler just to melt it down and send the metal bars to Germany.

Not much can come out of that body...

A restored one just sold for $80K in Germany, this can be done for less than that, plus, there really isn't too many left with the correct matching parts..

...the "reason" Carolinians ask these questions is because we are relieved to find out that someone likes rusty bits more than we do.

would be interesting to see what ends up happening to the poor old girl. if no vin swap, perhaps a build thread?
