Damn it! Bought another 914 project tonight, I swore I was done with that! Car is actually pretty solid Options

Okay so I went to look at a 911 project off craigslist tonight. Get there to find 75 914 instead. Not a nice one either. Its the olympic blue with a 1.8. Engine lid isn't bolted in place. It was in a carport the last 8 years. So out of the rain but not completely out of the elements. Walk around it to see some problem areas. Battery tray looks different & has some rivets holding it to the firewall (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . I make one trip around & thank the lady but tell her it's not for me. She asks if I want to see the parts he had been buying for the project. They come with the car. I grudgingly turn around & say why not.

We walk in the room in her house with the parts. Talk about hoarders I can't see any parts. Then look around & see some red NOS metal sticking up on the corner. Turns out it is a NOS drivers complete quarter panel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (along with the receipt from 1993 for $1072 they paid for just that panel from sunset Porsche in Beaverton). My interest just seriously jumped. Then we move shit around & get to where she thinks the parts are. I see a lame Porsche rear deck wing but it is brand new. I see a nice stock rear valance. Then we open a box. Brand new 911 rear hub's, Axle's, CV's, Vented Rotor's, rebuilt calipers for a complete rear 5 lug conversion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) . Damn I'm thinking I don't give a rats ass about the car but I want all these parts. There were a few other misc pieces but I ask her about the 5 lug stuff. There isn't anything for the front. Are there more pieces for the front. She says I have some 5-lug wheels for it out back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . I'm damn near giddy at this point figuring to find some nice fuchs. NOT just some steelie's although I did find the hubcaps for them.
We go back to the car & I say I really don't want the car. I am interested in the extra parts. Would you be willing to split them up. She says maybe. So we go back into the room. I ask if there is anything else. We dig through some boxes. Bunch of clothes & misc shit. So I am thinking what to offer her. I give a tall skinnier box a little kick & get a metallic clink. Ah some more parts I figured. I pull it out & see an Auto Atlana sticker on it. Hum I've seen a box like this when I got my flared in the group buy. Holy shit! Yes I found a set of repro GT flares (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) . I make her an offer & she says I suppose I can do that. I had another guy offer me $600 just for the car. So I said I'll give you another $500 for the car & haul all of it away. She smiles & says done deal. She was askin $2500 for it all & I paid her $2000. She was happy & so was I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I'll post some pics of the parts I brought home. Going back for the car tomorrow morning
