Too bad he won't part it out. There doesn't look like there's enough good on the car to be worth the hassle of trying to get rid of the rest of the car once you've taken the few parts you want. :rolleyes: I'd take the dash pad. The rest of it you could have.

Oh, I don't know. Think about how it would look with some Zaino to make those boo-boos all better again. :)

Another ebay technique is to put too high of a reserve, then sell it to the high bidder when the auction ends. The price can get higher as bidders think they're not going to meet the reserve and are more willing to bid. Current bid is at $910, which seems like a lot to me.

You know how one of the regular questions on the forum is about whether C4 seats will fit into a C3?

Well, I might be mistaken, but there you go--look at da pics, man.

Hmmm . . . I wonder what that set of OEM cast aluminum wheels is worth . . . might worth buying the car for them alone.

Well, if you need them, that is.

Well, if there's anyone close, it's got the 700R4 tranny that will drop right into any of ours without mods. :cool: But I'm sure it would need rebuilt. :smash:

you know, now that I look at it...look at how clean the t-top bar broke off...along with the fiberglass area behind the seats....thats to clean. Makes me wonder about the safty of our cars in rollover....looks worse then a vert(if that thing collapses, it could collapse on you, whereas a vert doesn't have anything collapsing on you...just your head and the payement.

That T-top looks like it was cut-off, probably to make it easier to get someone out or maybe to remove the windshield. Either way, that is one serious pile of plastic. It doesn't even look like it would hold together if you wanted o move it. :eek:

I think there is money to be made on his mess, especially on parts that you can't get except used. All the rest you just sell on e-bay.
