Other than the shell that was rotten, I didn't trow out anything that was left over from the parts car. Think about it, it's a Porsche so sooner or later the used parts prices will go up. In the mean time, they will just collect dust in the back of a warehouse.

From our perspective, all torque tubes and drive shafts should be kept for possible future use.

These parts are going away and at times there are people looking for cores for their projects.

There are also 928ers who believe that all 928 parts are plentiful and cheap. That is no longer the case, especially since all Porsches are climbing in price.

Cheers,
Constantine

That would require four tubes cut and welded to make two nice columns...
