That helpful B4 guy
I went over to see revkev last night to drop off a cluster so he could diagnose a flashing coolant light on the B4 he is keeping. The other one, his 1996 daily driver for many years, has too many issues and is leaving next weekend to the crusher. I only just learned about it last night. The car has rusted through floor pans, a bypassed heater core, and was hit too may times to count (but always repaired), often with new parts.
He has said he is keeping some parts off it for the other one he drives but most of it will be leaving since he needs the space. As such I mentioned people wanting parts and he said they can make him an offer on some if he wants, but he doesn't have the time to pull them as his daughter is getting married right off and he needs to prepare. So far he has told me he's keeping the cluster, alternator, ECU, starter, harmonic balancer, timing belt kit he just installed, and injectors. He said he needs to keep his other one going for 2 more years until he retires so the parts he's keeping are somewhat minor. The other one has more rust around the windshield so it's also on borrowed time.
I would like to add that I do not have a ton of time to pull parts either. I am quite busy with a lot going on trying to sell a house, buy another, deal with full time work, and then trying to keep my wife happy. As such I will pull parts, package them, and ship them out (within reason) for people but I won't do it for free. The car is 8 miles from where I live, in his garage.
If you need parts, let me know. Kevin said he is not looking to make a ton of money off the car and it has to leave in 1 week, but is willing to accept offers if people want something. If someone wants the whole thing he is willing to let it go, CHEAP and would prefer someone can use it, but the car is in Waldoboro, Maine. I have done a TON of work on this car over the years and it ran well and always returned over 50 mpg. I understand there are many parts that are NLA and that people need, which is why I am posting this.
These photos were taken last night, so it's as it sits currently.
