Thanks much. I work in the auto industry and KNOW this is not the cost effective method - that any car is worth more in pieces and components than it is all assembled. It's about building the car from the ground up for me. Am not looking for a prisitine restoration, just a good clean driver. Have redone several cars already and part of what I am looking at is that some of the dis-assembly work is already done.

What little I can't do myself, I have friends who can, have an actual garage to work in etc....

"The Piles" are more like several S2's which are in various states of dis-assembly, totaling at least 2 complete S2's with lots of S1 and S@ spares left over. Owner used to race an S1.

$1,500 was a lot more than I was thinking considering the basket case I saw go off ebay at $700 several months ago.
