OK, the idea is to let me know if what is good is worth anything, and if so how much. I am also interested in if I need to keep it for the 818. Most stuff is obvious, but not always. Here we go:

Left quarter panel, no dents

Hood scoop and fittings(Hood is shot)

Front crush foam

Metal crush zone. It looks like it has slight damage but can be unbolted and sold.

Drivers side headlamp assembly(Passenger side shot)

Plastic valance in front of the windshield

Windshield wipers and motor assembly

Windshield reservoir and pump assembly

Intake assembly before the MAF(Looks like some is aftermarket with a cone filter)

That is as far as I got today.

List it on Craigslist. If it sells, it sells and you've got a few $$ in your pocket.

I have a thread where I listed everything I've sold and what I got for it.

Lol. I'm can't tell if you're disappointed I posted the link and didn't directly answer the question or not. Prices for the front fender and hood scoop are in that link.

Here's the only other help I can offer:

Headlights. Sell better as a pair, but you can get a couple hundred usually at best for non HID assemblies.

Everything else: Doesn't sell all that often. Most of those things are items that don't break or if they do, people get cars fixed by insurance at a body shop and they don't search for parts themselves. I still have boxes of plastic bits in the basement I haven't been able to give away because they simply don't break and no one wants them.

Not disappointed and happy for the answer! I think I will wait till I get a little further down the road before I start the Craigslist madness..

So it looks like seats will bring some money. I am assuming I don't need since I will be putting in a race seat.

How about windshield wiper and washer mechanisms? Do we need to keep them?

Thanks,

the wipers you will most likely need to register the car in most states, the washer tank not so much. I might hang on to it though in case you wanted to use it as a free tank for meth injection.

I thought it was stated the 818S will have functional wipers and will likely be sourced from the donor.

I recall that FFR stated windshield wipers will be available/planned for. It makes sense to source them from the donor, though I don't recall hearing any specific plans to do that (or otherwise).

I have not gotten rid of anything yet. As a matter of fact, I have not touched the car in weeks. It was end of the half for me, I am in sales, and we have been busy getting the lake house ready for the new owners.
