Original post with background:
I am parting out a '93 968 with 49K miles. This car has been discussed multiple times here, i believe. I bought the car from a mechanic who owns a European specialist shop in upstate NY. According to him, he planned to restore the car, but ran across another project car which he found more interesting, so he decided to sell the 968. Before this, he serviced the engine. He provided an invoice for a long list of parts that he replaced including: belts, valve cover gasket and o-rings, camshaft seal, variocam pad, thermostat, timing chain, camshaft bearing bolts, tensioner, rollers, water pump, balance shaft pulley, distributor cap and rotor, plugs, all fluids.
Aside from the accident damage, the car is in pretty good shape, but not perfect. It appears that after the accident, the car spent a lot of time sitting in the sun. There fading of the paint and clear coat peeling in multiple spots. The dash and upper portioin of the door panels are no good and appear to be sunburned. The rest of the interior is in pretty good shape. Here are some pics of the car:
I plan to keep the mirrors but all other parts from the car will be available.
After getting the car home, I brought it up to temp and drove it up and down my street (it runs and drives fine). The engine and transmission both were 100% with no unexpected noises. I then pulled the plug wires from a compression test. However, the holes for plugs 2 and 4 were full of oil. I understand that the o-ring seals for the valve cover can leak; however, they were supposed to be brand new. So, I pulled the valve cover. The seals appeared to be brand new, however it looks like the 0-rings for plugs 2 and 4 fell off during the installation of the valve cover as they were just sitting inside the cylinder head.
Pics of the interior:
My plan is to remove most of the interior first, followed by the engine and transmission.
i will share pictures and prices for parts as I pull them from the car. However, if anyone needs something now, please let me know and I will pull the requested parts first. I'll follow with more pics and prices.

With regards to pricing. Is there a used parts supplier who shows their prices on the web. In the past I have sold 928 parts at a flat discount to what 928 International would sell the same part for. Alternatively, I'll have to dig through Rennlist and Ebay to see what the going rates are (at least for the more desirable parts)

i'm hoping we can reach an agreement on the windshield, sunroof and front wiper motors, steering rack, tie-rod/ends, ps pump, ac, all suspension, wheel bearings, rear brake rotors, rear calipers, tt, clutch and transmission, as i only live about 12 miles from Gary.

The transmission, clutch and bell housing, TT, windshield, and sunroof motor are tentatively sold. I will follow up on everyone else's price requests by the end of the weekend.
BTW. the price for the engine is $3800 or $4200 with DME, wiring harness, and other parts required for a 944 conversion. I will entertain offers on this, but am also willing to store this until the right buyer comes along. Please note the original post for all parts replaced in the recent engine service.
Also, the mirrors are not for sale, they are going on my 928.
