Why part it out? with a little (ok more than a little) TLC this could be a valued member of the P-car community again... just takes a little (again) buffing, and a little work, a few new parts... and I would highly recommend an alignment...

I am sorry for the loss, but it isn't a total loss... not really... I would consider it repairable.... If it were mine I would do the buy back, and fixerup unless the frame is FUBAR, then I would look for a shell and start the transfer... OR a nice 924 swap....

That's worth fixing. Or - there's a guy on the racing forum that needs a new left side for his 944.

Before you start parting it out pm me with what you want for the whole car.

in the other thread you say it is cracked under the motor? sure it is the frame and not the crossmember?

Front to back are frame rails, side to side are cross member, and all have individual part numbers... damage is only a serious as the person fixing it...

Side member, 300 each from DC auto...

item 28, both right and left same call number, look at the note...

EVERYTHING can be fixed...it is a mater of, time, space, money, and dedication

dedication is all I have, i've loved this car, nursed it back to health myself .. it's the time, money, and space, plus i'm leaving for the Coast Guard in August, so i'm in a pickle.

Well, there are a few guys here, or in the Racing forum who will ****** the entire car up for the right price...
