Hi there everybody, long story short I bought a car from its original owner but the car was taken apart 16 years ago for a color change that, Thanks God, never took place. Problem is the car has been in an Auto Body garage for all these years, and all they gave me was the car, front & rear lids, front & rear bumpers, doors and some buckets full of small parts, screws, nuts, etc...


I have past some months going over the Porsche PET looking at the different diagrams, identifying all the parts and comparing what I have with the pictures I got when writing the part numbers from the PET in google.


I have been able to make identify almost everything, but I still have some parts I have no idea where they are supposed to go, so I thought of putting the pictures here and see if you guys, specially the ones that have taken the car apart recently, can help.


PART 1:
M3 or M4 nuts (x8)
and split washers (x9)
I might be missing one nut or who knows

PART 2:
Looks like a cover to put in a blank switch, but my car has all the switches used, no blank one, and I have looked in the PET for a blank cover for a switch and looks quite different than this one.

PART 3:
Have no clue what this could be, bigger circle is 33mm diameter, and smaller is 13mm diameter

PART 4:


2 tapping screws 6,3x18

PART 5:
3 Hexagon Head Bolt M6x30. Heads are somewhat painted the car color (red) but I have looked at the diagrams for the parts removed and I cannot see such a long bolt.

PART 6:
Last part, 8 Hexagon Head Bolts M5x20 and M5 Nuts with Split Washers (2 each set) - Could be more than 8 as I have also found some broken heads.
Any idea? It might not even be a Porsche part (they are very rusty) and someone in the garage years ago throw it in one of the buckets so whoever was coming behind (me) would become mad thinking where it can go...

Thanks in advance everybody

How much of the car has been reassembled? Is there anything that's not? That might help narrow the search. When I rebuilt my engine, I replaced a lot of rusty fasteners with new. Maybe what you are seeing is the "unusable pile".

What Rob says... probably much of what you have were originals that have already been replaced. Interesting game though. Dab painted boltheads or nuts usualy a marker/reminder for the assembler that he/she has torqued these up correctly and done with them.

I'm a bit of a magpie in that any fixings that look like they are unique or can be washed and cleaned up I will keep - even if just for future referencing.

Watching to see what otrher clues or suggestions come in.

I've been all over my car and I can't recall all the bolts with the strange/half washers.

I'm pretty sure the two upper plastic parts aren't OEM. Haven't seen them before and I can't see any part numbers on them which 99% of them have.

They kind of look like the ones that hold the plastic security cover over the door lock mechanism inside the doors if so they screw in from door jam close to the door latch

There are 3 on the fuel pump support.

I was thinking the same thing just wasn't sure

Right now the whole car is disassembled, it is being prepped at a body shop to fix a few rust spots and to be repainted. In the meantime I am identifying all these hardware.


This is how I have it, I removed all of the interior and took hundreds of pics of where every nut and bolt goes, I labeled everything in bags but only of what I removed.
What I DID NOT remove are:
The door cards
The doors
Front Lid
Rear Lid
Front Bumper
Rear Bumper
Fuel tank & Fuel pump
Underbody covers

Thomas you are probably right, they might not be Porsche parts, when I removed different parts from the car's interior there were a lot of Citroen, Renault, Toyota and other brand parts that were put in there during those 16 years of the car being in the body shop...
