Hello everyone,
after scouring the net looking for 911 parts I seam to have come to the conclusion that either somebody has very big barn with lots of bits secreted in that they guard with a shotgun with a passion so nobody else has any parts... or, there is woefully few second-hand parts around!
Well that’s not quite true there are some parts around but the sellers seam to have the idea that if I want to buy a gearbox I need to pay for the WHOLE car!!
Now yer, I know your all doing it. She is a woman and wont understand, its a guys thing.. blah blah blah but I might add im not some blonde bimbo (ok I am but..) with 15 years experience in motorsport, working in World Rally, Touring car and some Le Mans I know how to wield a spanner better than most guys!..
an example to justify my point:
Porsche transaxle: 901(904 or 911 derive) 4speed.. best quote...£1000 needs rebuild
vw 002 transaxle: 002 (5 rib strong box) 4speed (lsd).. £20, YES £20
so my question: is this ridiculous price difference due to the Porsche label, the number of units or am I missing some thing?
