Old Bugger parts ??
I have found a yard parting out what I think is a 79 5 speed - what sort of stuff peculiar to these early cars is in demand over there? Dont forget I am in Riyadh, so shipping anything weighty could be a problem. I am guessing at 79 because it has vacuum operated door locks, and a reservoir under where the dash used to be. No VIN cut out in RH fender inner edge, cant see a VIN plate near front. This is sitting on the roof of the front storage shed.
He has the front shell with panels (I am interested in them for spares), lights (8" Euros), 5 speed box, TT, front and rear suspension, cross members, but no steering rack, gear selector rods and lever metalwork. The box turns over fine, can select gears ok, has oil in it; TT spins fine.
The shell has fenders, front bumper, hood, brake master and booster, clutch master I think. The doors are there, drivers with glass in it, but condition may not be true, as the screen is gone and the roof cut off midway down the A pillar, I suspect they lifted it by a rope tied to the door window frames. The panels have minor dings in them. The lights are no use to me as mine is a RHD, and going home to a RHD country.
Where do I look for the gearbox indentifying number - G28?? - I couldnt find anything more than a casting number on it - 928 301 101 4R IIRC.
I know for parts I might need a whole car for parting would be more economical, but they dont come along very often here.
