Double post --- 2 wrecked boxsters

Sorry folks but I need a final OT comment on my craziness!

"I found 2 boxsters which are wrecks.

Burnt engine probably small rear end collision:
http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w78428084

Wall scraper:
http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f120033945

The burnt one:
Body seems straight
Top of engine, all plastic is melted
Front pulleys and belts melted
Has the updated headlights
Doesnt smell like fire
Rear has probaly less than 1 inch of crinkle crunch

The wall scraper is unknown but these are the same owner and was considering to swap engines and do the same that I'm thinking.


As a project this would be my first engine drop and what not.

If the prices stay under ¥10,000 ($100) towing and recycle fees (Japan precharges you like beer bottles) would be initial investments and the cars would turn my home into a junk yard.

Even if I never got around to piecing 1 together, the wheels on the burnt one could be sold and I'd almost out no money.

I'm I nuts?"

At the moment still a few hours to go but could walk away with these for less than $300 each!

If nothing else, I would think you could easily profit by parting them out at $300 each.
