Consulier build list

[GTP#44]

I have been doing math homework with my daughter and this is how I add it up.
Our sweat and labor + Ian getting more room in his shop + parts nobody but us wants + more parts out of his hair....should = a good deal for us.
I think the way Ian sees it is Valuable parts + our sweat and labor = big dollars in his pocket for stuff he will NEVER use.
I am glad his employee Mike is on our side.
It is tough to keep pulling parts and hope for the best and not know any prices till Ian looks at what we pulled and decides a number for parts that are useless to him.

I would like to show up next time. Let's plan a date!

[Rottie]

So we're hoping he'll sell the lot, but he doesn't know how much or if he will even do it?

[MPI_duster]

I'd be interested in joining up for a trip down there too. Keep me posted.

Pretty sure he'd do it. They are trying to manufacture cars in a building that is kind on cluttered with 20 year old parts they'll never use.

WOW this should turn out to be quite a parts search for sure with all these hands.
We may outnumber Rossion employees.
The weather usually breaks down here around the middle to the end of October.
I looked at the calendar and October 24 is a friday and November 7 is also a friday .
I thought friday would be a good day any thoughts on some other dates...?

[bfarroo]

I'd prefer mid to late September just because the weather up here could go south any time in late October to November which would just make for a longer trip.

Being from Wisconsin let me tell you what it is like in a 40 foot container in 90-95 degree temps....VERY SWEATY.
The shop is not air conditioned either thats why I think after the weather starts to be slightly cooler we will all be much happier.
If you got stuck in South Florida due to snow up there that would be awful...

[Johnny]

Okay who is calling Mike and setting this up? and when will it be? First part of Oct?

[bfarroo]

Does anyone have any idea what parts are there or any idea what they're going to want for things? It seems like they want things gone but think they're sitting on a gold mine of 25 year old parts from what I hear. I know I need to find or build a gas tank and find some seats and a spoiler along with quite a few miscellaneous pieces. I'm just trying to figure out if it will be worth while to wait on driving down or not. I'm sure I could have parts shipped depending on what you all find and would sell but some big items would probably cost more to ship then they are worth.

[Johnny]

I checked on a rental truck today. $1800
and almost 4000 miles to drive it back.
At 10 mpg thats another $1600 in fuel.

So don't think I am bringing anything back.

I would LOVE to get the mold for the rear wing.
(targa car)

[168glhs1986]

I knew you bought it!

Most of what they have are: side and window glass, a few rear glass pieces. Polished crager wheels ( see Chris's car), lots of shocks, interior bits and pieces, a few motors and engine boxes and what am i missing Randy and Doug?

I felt as if their prices were good once Mike talked some sense into Ian!

[CoolV300C]

You won't find a spoiler or seats. You will find engines and engine parts, suspension stuff. He isn't so much sitting on a gold mine as a rusty gold mine. I don't remember seeing molds except for mt900 ones.

[168glhs1986]

These was ONE container that was too full to step foot in. That may have held some important GTP molds. It was full of body parts

So thats the one we need to look in this time.

Do you know what the price was on the wheels? Aaron wants a set for his to replace the weird tri-slots.

Oh, and I polished my gold painted wheels....what a freakin nightmare!
I'm looking for a shifter, shift knob and some cables if they have them, Maybe some axles and some door hardware if the wife will let me spend that much

[168glhs1986]

No more axles left and pretty sure no more shifter cables. No windshields there either. I would offer $25 per wheel max. They must have 40 of them

[bfarroo]

So it sound like it may be worth while to meet up. I'd like to find side front 1/4 glass and even door glass and regulator hardware to install windows. Maybe there is a targa spoiler in the other box, one can only hope. I'm assuming that is what I would need for the roadster

[Johnny]

Roadster and targa engine covers are the same.
The targa has the 3rd brake light in the targa.
Hard tops have them in the wing.
I'd guess your 3rd light is in the wing also.

BUT
watching this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2i3g0Z69v8

It looks like the wing on hardtop cars have a bump for the light where the roadster in the video doesn't.

[Johnny]

Watching that video....you see the car that was just on ebay in the first seconds of it.
