A car built from everyone's surplus shite parts. What have you got? (Page 1 of 2)

Knackered...my favorite British word.

So think a few of the Lemons are already exemplify this.  I mean, someone does not seek out a Ford Ranger 4-banger to to put it in an Opel, do they?  We know that no one would intentionally buy a French Chrysler let alone three of them...they would have to magically appear in your driveway, right tSoG?

I'm going to include all my mechanical flotsam:

Ford 2.3 NA bottom end

Thunderbird Turbo coupe accessory drive

6.5hp honda OHC motor

A build it yourself 72 Jeep cj Dana 44 rear end with a 'sploded locking diff

Jeep T15  3-speed trans

Points distributor, cap/rotor/wires/coil for an AMC V8

Clutch Plate for a jeep t-15

Too bad you didn't ask this before the huge scrap run we made in December. Not counting the parts that are directly intended to be put in specific vehicles:

Cylinder head from a 60s-era Slant Six.
Oil pan from a 1970 E-body Slant Six.
All the following parts for a '64 Dodge Dart:
-Front lower control arms (and maybe uppers as well)
-I think I finally threw out those old torsion bars, actually.
-Rear shock plates
-Spare instrument cluster
-Front turn-signal lights
-Front grille
-Front bumper
-Back seat with cheap zebra-print seat covers
Radiator from an unidentified "Toyota truck," probably needs patching or a re-core.
Front calipers from an '84 Fifth Avenue, as well as the rebuild kits for the rebuilding they need.
A number of 13" steel wheels with 5x4" bolt pattern.

At this point, I've got basically at least one entire MR2's worth of spares in bins in my shed. At least 1 spare motor/trans combo, the engine needs to be rebuilt. Certainly several cars worth of spare suspension parts. Brake rotors, calipers, pads, hydraulic lines, prop valves, master cylinders, etc. At least 12, maybe 16 Miata NA 4x100 5-spoke lightweight wheels, all with tires of various condition.

I'm kinda thinking about building a locost-ish build with it one day but I could be convinced to share all of it for a worthy project.

And now that it turned into a crispy critter, we have two spare VW transmissions to donate to "la excrement de la excrement".

Ahhhh...too bad...I was really wanting to unload it.

2 aluminum Imp blocks, fist sized holes in each
2 half rods for same (top half only)
3 RX7 trans with dead 3rd gear synchro (one sawed in half from when I got pissed off because I couldn't get a $%^&* roll pin out)
Exploded RX7 clutch
Melted RX7 spindle
Misc warped RX7 engine parts
8 four bolt 1st gen RX7 rims that I'd love to give away
Exploded XJ12 radiator
1 melted XJ12 caliper
Rover 3.5 with an essence of compression in a couple cylinders, zippo in rest
Rover trans with noisy bearings
TR6 trans
TR250 O/D diff
TR250 hood/bonnet with nose knocked out of joint.
a basement full of misc TR4a/250/6/7/8, RX7, XJ12, Rover, SAAB and Imp parts.  2002 hubcaps
and VW variant emblems I came across yesterday.

Enough parts to mechanically build at least 5 TR6's and numerous Spitfires.  And that's just the extras.

At least one MGB's worth of components except drivetrain.

BTW, I have a friend trying to sell two Triumph Heralds and another one trying to sell a Standard Vanguard.  Anyone spell I.O.E.?

I have no idea what that is. It sounds bloody important though. Is it large enough to start welding some of the other shite to it?

More good news: I have a rear view mirror here from an Austin Montego. Add it to the list.

Half a Corvair (busted running gear and suspension)
Half a XJ6 (rusted out body)
Whole lot of nothing

I don't need everyone's shite parts to build a car. I've built (more than) one from my own pile of surplus shite parts:
