Does Texas have a place where you have to explain what the plate means so they can weed out offensive stuff? My faith in humanity is so low that I could see someone getting a bug up their ass and thinking this is some racial purity thing.

Hah. I can't believe that's available.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

It is 23* out.
I am going to take my lunch break and go look at a junked car for you.
I am insane.

It's a self serve junkyard. It's being parted.
The steering wheel was gone. No surprise there.
I got the fuel door. $7.
The bumpers are still there. The front one has a small chunk missing on the bottom passenger side, but it's not terrible. It actually looks identical to the one you already have. Back side looked good. Still had both little 'wings' on the outer edges. I'll get pics up later.

I thought this was ironic given where some of the parts will end up

If you just want the little fins off the rear, they should be fairly easy to ship. Anything bigger could be a pain.

Re: The 944
Not sure. A whole plastic bumper is usually 40ish. So I could probably get out the door for less than that. A quick Google search tells me these things go for a LOT more from traditional sources. I'm kind of surprised they were still on the car honestly.

Interesting. Definitely going to keep an eye on this thread. Don't want to do something like it, but I do enjoy me some modding and have a deep love for GM engines.
Re: The 944
Don't take me the wrong way. I'll go get them and sell them to you for whatever the cost is plus beer money. I just want to make sure you actually want them before I go freeze my ass off taking them off

Re: The 944
That's better
I'm hardly an expert, but it looks like an awesome bargain find. Similar to those 96 Stealth spoilers I found. I want to hook you up!

Re: The 944
What cars do you have in your fleet now, Mike? I'm out of the loop.

I dunno. I could probably do it, but I have no idea how long it'd take. I'd be really reluctant to take it on and then have it screw up your build timeline.
Are you using a GM harness pulled from a donor car, or one of the aftermarket standalone harnesses?

$17
It'd have taken me a whole 15 minutes if the passenger side trunk well hadn't been full of compacted kitty litter. I guess it was ballast for his cone dodging days. Thankfully it wasn't frozen, but I still had to chisel it out.
One of the passenger side anchors separated from the diffuser. It looks like the 2nd one isn't far behind. Let me know if you want me to try to fix it before I send it to you.
