All, I have over 300 different car parts in my garage that I can't figure out. Can anyone here help me go through them and figure out what they are?

Some of them are vintage car parts some of them are new.

Send me a direct message if you think you can knock all of them out, I am will pay you to do it.

They are on my dropbox below.

They all look modern to me, certainly no classic stuff let alone vintage! are they damaged panels from a body shop? ( lots of plastic bumpers)

Well, I saw a TR4 bonnet in there, and a bent VW Beetle engine cover, but otherwise I agree mostly modern panels.

They either need to go back in the skip outside the body repair workshop from whence they came or alternatively store it all for 25 years then see if any of it has achieved a value above scrap value.

As has been said the damaged Beetle panels would be worth putting on somewhere like Ebay. Wink

I think the OP is from the US, they have different terms for "vintage" I think. Reminds me of a similar place I looked around the other, which was a local car dismantlers.

Hi
I hope that web address doesn't turn out to be a phishing bot.

I looked into the sign on name and came up with some IP addresses connected to websites that are far removed from anything that OCC members would wish to be associated with. There is VW Mexico plate and IP addresses associated with Texas and Georgia.

All your going to far I live in Texas and lived in Georgia. I'm not trying to scam or hack anyone I just have a garage full of parts and need to know what some of the vintage ones are.

There are a few vw parts in there was year are they? Are they front or rear fenders.

There are some old ford fenders I think maybe bronco?

If this is the wrong place to ask this let me know

Thank Mike, do you know what year the engine cover is from?

When you say TR4 bonnet do yo mean a Triumph hood?

As you say, in American parlance that's a TR4 or TR4 IRS hood - dates from 1961-67; could also be from a TR5/TR250 1967-68.
