Hi folks, as some of you know I recently purchased a nice 94 XR2 from a local Capri restorer. He is done with restoring these cars, so much so that he gave me all of his repair/shop manuals. This leads me to my question.
There are approximately 2 truckloads of parts for sale, including a parts car (blown engine) that has just about everything except for a gas tank and wheels. He has everything from consoles to a top frame, switches, etc. He has a LOT. He has offered everthing to me for a modest price.
I don't have the room, nor do I have $500.00 to spend right now. He claims that I can get my money back on some of the switches and other small parts alone. Am I crazy to let this deal go by? I don't plan on having multiple Capris...I had one years ago and really liked the car. Now, I have the 94, I don't plan on buying any others (I'm more into VW bugs) for projects. I bought the 94 as my "mostly" daily driver. So, I can't imagine needing all these parts. The PO is going to hold back the 94 specific parts for me, but I have no idea what he's going to do with all the other parts. If I get them, I need to be able to turn a profit, even if a modest one. Bottom line, if I can get the parts and help some of the folks out here and keep them from going to the junk yard (yes, he mentioned this) then I'd be happy. I just don't want to get stuck with a bunch of parts that I can't sell because there's no market. If these were bug parts, I'd know exactly what to do. Make sense?
Thanks for your imput!
