Let me know if you can use any of this...

I got a few things that I don't need to own. (Ok, I have ALOT of things that I don't need, but lets start with these...)

First: a big, very sturdy case. Two handles on each end, two latches to close it up. I don't have exact measurements on hand, but approximately 3x3x3 feet. You would need to modify the internal foam to fit your goodies, but they would be well protected once they are in there! $0

Second: some old VW parts that are still kicking around from when I was rallying with Matthew Johnson. We were running a 1988 Golf, and these are misc. spares that I still have for some reason. Since these parts belonged to MJ, they have marinated in hoon juice, and just owning them will make you faster and more likely to take risks. Any money that I get out of this stuff will go back to MJ to fund his current racing efforts.

- 7 wheels with center covers. Four different designs. All are perfectly useable from a rallyist point of view, none are perfect. But they probably have stage miles on them which makes them extra cool. $0 for all or $0 each
- one Bilstein strut insert with the spanner thingys. Might be useable. $Free
- a couple of pulleys and an alternator. $0
- a pile of lug bolts and suspension bolts, and misc. $0

Third: some brackets and an alternator that I don't think are VW. Maybe they are WRX? Also ex-MJ parts, so marinated in hoon juice. $0

Some pictures are here:

Any interest?

Are they 14" or 15" wheels?

That will determine interest.

Good point Brett! I believe that they are all 14 inch wheels.

I'll pass, thank you. I have a set of 14" alloy VW wheels I couldn't give away for free. I'm going to haul them to the scrap yard at some point in time.

Somebody beat me to it? Or something else? I'm just curious now...

It's just Eric. He's special.

He actually doesn't want to get rid of that stuff and have contact with the outside world. I'm surprised he even posted it.

These wheels, have they been scrapped yet? I have an old ITB prepped golf racer, and ex valkswagon cup cup car. Its an 87 I if I remember correctly. She only has one set of wheels, I could probably use a second set.
