I Love Free Parts!

Posted on 11 November 2007

So, earlier tonight I got a call from OrangeDUB about a new post in the Official Midwest FS Thread on Vortex. A Vortexer from Minnesota was posting up several black Mk3 parts that he was willing to give away for free. He didn’t need them anymore and was just going to throw them away if nobody wanted them.

I shot the guy an email and got a call about 30 minutes later. We talked for a bit, confirmed that the parts were still available and now I’m going to make a trip to St. Peter, MN this weekend, about 200 miles north.

I’m headed up there to pick up:

  • black rear bumper (great shape)
  • black fuel door
  • black hood (golf ball-style dent near center of hood)
  • 75% of a rear tail setup

I’ll probably end up throwing him a couple twenties for his generosity. Now I’m in search of a copilot from my local German car club.
