New complete front window trim comes with car worth $300.Original chrome front light covers Lots of spare parts and gaskets.Things I did not get to: Although it looks runs, drives and looks like it, I could not ask $20k+ for this car due to some small issues, there's a rust spot behind the passenger rear light inthe usual 914 place. Everything else looks fine, No rust hell hole/battery tray area issues, this has been cleaned, treated and painted nicely, very solid floor pans, sills etc. for whatever reason the Jacking points have been removed. A slight rust bulge is showing through at the lower front fender, by the door. Needs a Bodymans touch to be perfect. Although they look great, the fenders were not installed properly, original fenders were not cut back all the way, it didn't bother me at the time as I was going to replace with steel but I don't have the time anymore. Tire clearance is not an issue and they do look great. Paint chip on side of front hood, small tear (1/2") in drivers seat - see last three pics for the issues. I'm being honest about these points as I don't want to waste anyone's time or mine, it does need a little more work to be perfect but right now it looks absolutely awesomeand runs fantastic. Hell almost everything on this is new !!If your in the market for something that is almost perfect and mechanically top notch, this is a seriously great 914. With a few little fixes this car will be worth a whole lot more in the future. I think this car is very fairly priced. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS OR BETTER YET COME SEE THE CAR BEFORE BIDDING!!!
