Obviously the cause for the incident was drunk driving - I mean, just look at the pics of the interior!

Stay on it Dan! There must be something of worth in there!
Yep, it is dirty work, but somebody has got to do it. I wish you were here to help! This was headed for the crusher, I'm betting no scrapyard would have touched it. I'm already getting requests for a lot of parts, and a lot of the best stuff looks fine.

There is a LOT of worth in there!

To those on my "request" list.. No, I'm not looking for top dollar.. but I do need to figure out what is still good!

I'm not so sure it's a good idea to re-use any of the aluminum engine/trans parts. Hi temperatures can severely weaken aluminum. On aircraft such potential damage is often checked by testing the electrical conductivity (with an eddy current instrument). Might be worth looking into....

This is me after a full day of replacing the head, waterpump, timing belts and rollers on the 86 turbo. That car was called many names on that day, most of which would be against the Rennlist charter for me to repeat here.

Sorry, I missed it.. NOW I get it. Your comment hid in with a bunch of real requests for parts I've been getting! It seems there is quite a demand for those spindles, etc..
