Hi all,

I have a fairly nice Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (964, years 1989-1994) Engine Lid for sale OEM# 96451201001

I'm looking to get about $350 or so for it.

You can check it out on eBay here.
Porsche 964 Carrera 2 1989 1994 Engine Lid 96451201001 | eBay

Note: Can be adapted for early 911 by modification of the hinges on the car (google it).

I have tested the motor and switches on the lid, all found to be working. The plastic baffle under the grill may be worn out by now, cheap to replace. If you buy the lid, contact me to see if I still have a new baffle.
In fact, I bought this many years ago to fit onto my 1975 911 "tricked out" car. I sold my '75 911, and no longer have use for this lid.

There are minor/moderate scratches and chips. No dents. Bolts included See picture for details. Email me for questions. The lid is located in the Seattle area, so local pick up or drop off can be arranged.

Weight is only 25lbs.

OEM plug is on the harness. It is currently piggy-back-wired to work with my little controller computer (not included). I can remove the piggy-back-wires before shipping if desired.
Crating/boxing fee $15, or local pickup/delivery in the Seattle area.

Shipping is about $35 to $45

Call Scott or text me @ (Two-O-6) 276-1345http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1390974790.jpg

Anytime you crack open a paint can and gun, it's a grand. Add materials and parts and yea, you're at $2K or so. Sucks! But, it could have been much worse. I read that you'll file a claim. My agent always recommended conservative approaches regarding claims. One, if your deductible is significant, like $1000, you're filing an at fault claim for maybe a thousand dollar check. But you'll have a claim on your record, and it will count as an at fault one to boot. My understanding is the number and frequency of claims is a big deal to insurers, and the amount less so. So my guy recommends saving claims for big deal incidents and non at fault ones when possible. (Pay now save later vs collect now and pay more later and every year after)

So...I'd think hard about a claim. Just my not even worth 2 cents opinion~
