It's without question un-restorable. The frame is COMPLETELY rotted. I can't even open the pass-side door because that's what is keeping it from sagging to the ground. I'm going to spend tomorrow yanking the bumpers off of it, the motor out of it, and I'll grab brakes and a few other things...just to have, but then were going to sawzall it into bags that I'll take to the office with me every day for a few weeks to 'dispose' of it.

I am not a big fan of the front 916 bumper but it is in very good shape. I do however like the rear 916 bumper and it looks very fixable. The mirror looks like its off of a 1965 Ford. The glass looks usable from what the pictures show. I couldnt tell if there was a crack in the front windshiled or not. The only thing it will cost you now is time, your time.

The ultimate goal with my 'real' car is something like this..

The front glass is cracked, but the rest of it is good. Door skin is 'fair' but I think I'll keep what I have on mine. Todd wanted a door I think, so he can take whichever he wants.

Don't forget the bonus side-shifter tranny! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

Always good to have a spare. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Shit...I didn't even think of that. I have a spare tranny now...and while I'm at it, I need the steering column out of it too...man, this thing is a gold-mine!

I like the full set of engine lid letters that appear to be in good shape. I think that alone makes the deal worthwhile. Mine suck. Broken letter C, metal letter R that doesn't match the other plastic ones... I won't get around to them until I get all of the mechanical and more obvious cosmetic things fixed.

I'm going to be carefull with these. I may actually just paint this engine cover and hang it up in my office. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

We'll see...I'm not sure what's what yet. I know tomorrow is going to involve a LOT of trash bags, a wrench or two, and a sawzall! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif)

You should turbo the 1.7 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif)

If you are willing to part with it, I could use that throttle cable setup on the engine. I need something better than the mickey mouse job I had before.

Good Deal though!

That is EXACTLY what I wanted it for.

First I'll send it out to get worked on (that'll be a different thread) and then I'll move it to the basement and take my time fabricating the turbo for it. I picked up a garret off of a Saab I used to own. We'll see if we can make that work for me...

What part do you need exactly? I'll see if I can get it out of there for ya.

This is the little jewel I need if you can part with it.

I would love to get an extra engine to play around with a turbo too. That would probably give the car the extra ooomph that it seems to lack.

Sweet...It'll be here. =)

I can't get the pass-door open. I think it's keeping the car in one piece right now. There is NO pass-long. Zip, nada, notin' honey.

I'm going to pull the bumpers and the motor tonight. We'll talk about the empis. I'm sure we can work something out.

Hmmm....I still need one more piece from behind the front bumper if you're interested in cutting a section out for me. ($25 + ship) I can post pics of what I need.

So after a day of monkeying around...here's what I've learned.

#1 - This thing is a REAL POS!

#2 - The reason the pass-door wont oopen ISN'T because it was stuck...the latch is holding that side of the car together.

#3 - The 916 bumpers MAY work for me...may not either. My exaust pipe is in a different place than his was. I may down-turn my exaust.

#4 - It was host to 16 wasp nests, 3 mouse nests, and there was a dog-turd in there...must have been a hell of a party!

Front hood it great, trunk lid is trash. I took the duck-tail off and I'll bet it there was 2lbs of debris under there. I jacked-up the pass side, and the door opened right up. I was able to get the aluminum thresholds out of there, and then closed it back up again.

I think I'll break even on parts, and have a few spares, so I don't think it was a waste of time/money.

Monday, I'm going to chop it up with the sawzall, and give her a proper burial...in a bunch of bags...in a bunch of pieces...and haul it to the curb for the trash-guy on Wednesday. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I've got everyone's requests. If it's worth saving, I'll get it for ya.

you should get close to all your money back if not turn a bit of profit. check the locks and see if they're all keyed the same. how are the heat exchangers? even a fair set can be worth some money. assorted and rear tail light lenses. how's the targa bar pad? some shrewd selling, add in the "value" of the bumpers, and you can show the wife the money you made on this one. if you want to try the rear spoiler on your car, paint it to match when you do your car. no need to drill holes in the one you have. color match the trunk. nice grab. when you cut it up can i get the door sill support triangles from you?

Wife: "Oh dear....just get it out of here quickly" She's 100% cool with it. "Can you get the $120 for the tow out of the parts?"

Locks: Different.

Heat Exchangers: No clue. It's snowing again (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) so I'll have to look at those when I drop the engine out tomorrow.

Triangles: Done...shoot me a PM with your info, I'll ship them out next week.

I'd be interested in the shifter and shift knob.
Thanks,
