Default Git-R-Done!!

Hi all,
I'm on the search for 3 used parts after I smacked the wall at t10, SP. Driver's side of my '77 911 is a little bent out of shape.

I'm looking for used:
1. Left side accordion-pleat rubber shock absorber piece...i don't know its specific name but you may be able to recall from the photos i included
2. Left side view mirror of whatever color
3. Left 69-89 Porsche Tail Light Lens Euro in Amber

I can head to the store or find these parts for dirt cheap at a junk yard but I thought I'd give the world wide Porsche web a try for ideas..

Thanks for any input!

I've got the accordion pleat, and if you remind me, I'll bring it to VIR. $5 okay?

I've got a mirror and it's even a red one.

I don't remember if it's the left or right side though. I'll check...

who needs mirrors when you've got a 3.6 anyway... sounds like the car survived, that's good news

Sly -- many of the local indy repair shops have parts piles. You may want to check with the usual suspects (ASG, Intersport, RPM, AutoTherapy, etc.).

Deal with Dr. K at your own peril

New price - FREE. Handled better by VaSteve than by Noah, IMHO (not that Noah was wrong, mind you). Sorry. I didn't look like I wanted to give something free because the recipient is an attractive young woman...

Are you going to be at tech tomorrow? Ben can bring it to tech if he can find it (I'm not going home again before leaving town today). Please PM me or Ben K with contact info.

I have a mirror off a '79 if Lupin falls through. Likely have everything else from the parts car as well, but can't verify the quality of the lens.

Holy coww
I don't mean to flatter cause I've been offered a great (free) part
but how true...it isn't the cars, it really IS the people!

Dr. K, I'm just glad this rubber accordion thingie is not going to cost me $50+
Pelican Parts revealed to me is a left rear bumper bellows hahahhh, like I woulda ever guessed
Charlie @ Intersport is giving the car a 2% chance of being done by VIR, but picking it up tomorrow from Ben for at least $5 would be great! I'll PM him asap.

Fritz, if you can check out the lens or have a pic of it, that would rock. Its just like the one below.

Lupin, thanks for checking on the side-view!
& damn...tire walls ARE BOUNCY fo sho

I guess I'll hunt down the rest of you at VIR for these parts

Sly,
As noted above, FREE. Just hope Ben can find it - he might bring a couple and you can pick the correct one (or borrow them all and return the ones that weren't the correct one). Peter
