    The belly pan has a few cracks in it that will need to be repaired. I will probably just get rid of it all as-is.

    The problem is that these parts are Carrera GT specific. With only 1250ish made and many crashed, the pool for potential buyers is rather small.

    If these parts can be used on another Porsche car, then even better. But I'll post a bunch of photos in a few minutes here to give you a better idea.

        more pictures to dump.






        s50b32 vanos














        ICVs




        bathroom literature








        Part of the undercarriage pieces for the CGT









        996 Seat Rails






        e36 m3 New Sideskirts






        more porsche stuff







        I'm guessing porsche parts as well?






        More S14 stuff



        TRANNY MOUNTS FOR EVERYONE. YOU GET A TRANNY MOUNT. YOU GET A TRANNY MOUNT. EVERYONE GETS A TRANNY MOUNT!







        Porsche wing perhaps?












        Quaife gear box adapter plate



        mystery swaybar





        Not sure what the piston is from. Too small for the tii block


        e30 m3 brake booster








        Euro s50b32 parts perhaps? Minus the steering arm knuckles.


        A few ECUs. I purposely removed the s14 ECU from this photo.











        How about a spark plug cleaner?

          It is a small world. I think that was Mariano's uncle's shop. No wonder there are S14 parts.

                damn I wish I had those carbon bits. I'd swing by work and hide them in the dirty room, scarf & bag a few plies onto them, smooth them out and call them good.

                    I'd love to get a hold of him and ask him a few questions about some of these parts. I love a good history lesson.

                    I have a CGT guy who is asking about buying it all in one fell swoop. Not sure what will come of this.

                    I'd line my entire closet with Carbon Fibre.

                      or you can ditch the '02 and build a GT instead.

                        I don't think that is a S50B32 (euro) vanos. I just rebuilt mine and that does not look familiar at all. Maybe S52?

                          A few of the ECU's have the classic "NFG" and "N/G" markings. Aka, no friken good and no good. Sweet haul.

                              Na dawg, I can't do it. Not after Paul Walker.

                              Yeah I really have no clue what it's from. But it looks like it accommodates two cams and looks vaguely BMW.

                              Yep, I only found the NFG on the 413 red label ECU.

                                So I ran by the parts pile today and noticed something strange.

                                Things were jumbled around and the gearbox was missing. I didn't ask my buddy if anyone went into this container and grabbed something..I'll do that tomorrow. I'm hoping it was just moved to the shop.

                                The container is not locked, but it is in a secure lot...but truckers come in and out all the time to load and unload containers. I'm trying to remain optimistic at this point.


                                But I did managed to bring home the tackle box full of weber parts. Here are photos:
















                                I know what most of this stuff is, but not all of it. Pretty neat. This is years worth of Weber parts. Cool.
