redrumm3 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I went to the Copart Punta Gorda South site today to try and preview some of the lots including the 2002 Turbo. Unfortunately, I could not get in, they are not allowing previews of the inventory at this time and probably will not for at least the next 30 days. Too much volume and traffic at the location is the reason. Cars are still coming into the the lot by the hundreds daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lengrep Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Wow. It would be nice to start fighting the tin worm on that car NOW! Thanks for trying. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Friends, 4290151 has a new home. I acquired the car directly from the past owner and it is now on a truck headed to my shop here in NH. VSR1.com. This one will be keeper. Whereas the salt bath was up to the instrument cluster I'll be completely disassembling it once we do an initial clean up, fluid drain and flush and a salt neutralizing wash. From there this will need to be dipped, stripped, flushed so that I can start with a bare metal chassis. So much to do in such a short period of time to save this one. Mario L.

Lengrep Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Well done. I’m delighted to hear it’s in capable hands. Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
