Description:

Story goes the car was wrecked around 2006, insurance didn't cover it, and it got shoved in a barn, under a cover, with the windows down. It's filthy and stinky inside, both front air bags blew, tires are junk, and this was not a nice, dry environment it was in. Things are crusty, seized, etc. Still lots of good parts left, though we are keeping several items for our 2003. It is a 6 speed car, though one of the mount castings is broken off the case. I have not checked if the engine spins, but it is on my list. Xenon lights with squirters, not hazy, RH works, LH doesn't, will check exactly what is wrong with it. Seats are two-tone cloth and should clean up pretty well. You can have them as-is, or I can clean them up, but then the price goes up. Let me know what you're interested in and I can get you more details. It may take a few days as weekdays aren't full of extra time. Large items are local pickup only (seats, wheels, drivetrain, etc.) Willing to ship smaller items at buyer's expense. 

Parts NOT available: taillights, hatch, doors, supercharger, headunit, rear subframe and suspension.

Sold parts:
Cylinder head, airbox to TB boot, coolant reservoir, wiper arm covers, right headlight washer assembly, sunroof assembly, rear bumper cover, oil pan, quarter panel molding clips, DME, left mirror cap, side scuttle lights, evap line from valve to intake.

Is the coolant reservoir intact? And how's the intake tube (shown on the floor in photo 4)?

If you can take them off, i’m interested in the fasteners on the foglights—so long as they’re in okay shape. Just let me know…

Hi, looks like the interior accent trim is silver (not chrome), is that right? If so, do you have the rear cup holder ring available?

Rear cupholder only has gray around the top, no silver.

Looks like only the right foglight is still there. Did you need the clips along with the screws? They look pretty crusty.

That should still work for me. How much do you want for that? Can you mail to zip 94506?

Not seeing the PM, but I should be able to do that for you. It's on the list for Saturday's stripping.

Can't get pics into the PMs, so here's a comparison. I have 2 full sets of the larger honeycomb available.

I had to break the valve cover to get it off (rusted hardware, and the corner was broken anyways) so I went ahead and pulled it to keep it safe since it looks pretty clean. Shipping cost is going to be the big question, as it's got a bit of weight to it. Here's some pics. If you're interested shoot me a PM with your zip code and I can get a shipping quote before we talk anymore numbers. If you have it shipped to business vs a residential address it may help the cost a bit.
