Yeah, I'm totally fine. My neck is a bit sore, but I've had worse neck craps from sleeping in a bed wrong so nothing to worry about.
I'm going to make a few more calls about selling it off as is before deciding to part it or not. I'll probably get more parting it, but the lack of space is a big downer for that.
I'll get back to people about their PM's on parts when I know what I'm going to do with it.

Thanks for the advice and interest guys.

In my experience transmissions are usually shot after front end collisions. I went through two trannies on my old NA 944. Both were from front end collision cars and they both shredded the spider gear. I bought another used one from an unhit one and it works perfectly. Ive never had an LSD, but Im just talking from experience.

I would just sell it whole if you do not have a place to tear it down, and store the parts. Parting a car can make you more money no doubt, but parting a car 100% can take 6-8 months before you get rid of all the parts, which means you have to store them somewhere until they do sell. And right now, IMHO, the used parts market is a great time to buy, but a bad time to sell in terms of value.

Glad you're ok and sorry to hear about the car.

Can I buy your passenger side fog light lens?

if you part it, i may be interested in the exhaust.

i would rather just get a good used turbo muffler on the cheap.

wow dude, Im very sorry to hear of your misfortune. However, good to see your in one piece! I'd agree with the others and say sell the p-car as a whole. Not unless you wanna rent a storage space and part it out!

Sorry about your car.

My son did the same thing to his boxster 2 weeks ago and like I told him....the most important thing is that you are OK.

I can give you a BMW 735I 1988, or a 1986 N/a and some cash. And ill come pick it up! I remember that car. It was really really nice.


Does it have the chips from my black car in it? Maybe I cursed it
