This thread is a joke, what 10 people offering up stuff that should be thrown in the dumpster. Some stuff isn't even for a 914. We have over 10,000 members so 10 people what to offer up a bunch of crap that they can't sell, give me a break. Nobody is giving anything away that could be sold! Just throw it away.
That's the complete wrong attitude. The whole point of keeping the stuff in circulation is because maybe you can save someone some money on their car but you can also strengthen the bonds of the community. And if you are really lucky you get to hook up with someone local to you and you have a new friend. Remember that, before the internet, when it was just you and the couple of guys in your area. I'll give you an example, twice in the last year I had 914 motors that were surplus to our needs at the shop and I offered them up on this forum. Brett, who lives a few towns from my shop, came up, brought chili and we all shared a meal. Now I see Brett at my open house, at the local autocross, he is a friend. A friend I might not have made if I hadn't offered up parts. So I guess I could have put the engines in the scrap pile or the dumpster but you don't make friend's in the dumpster.
. One man's trash is another's treasure. @ weeks ago I sent someone 2 faucets for their new home. They were surplus new but never installed, for the price of shipping. I was rewarded with a cable that I needed from another member last night; for the cost of shipping. Karma can be good or a Mother
