Live in Maine? READ THIS

Hey, I don't know if I'm allowed to post this here, but I don't see why not a it is very thirdgen related

Anyway, I'm thinking of starting a little business buying junk thirdgens and parting them out on e-bay. I'm looking for anyone living in the central Maine area that shares a passion for these cars and maybe interested in starting this out with me. I'm planning on renting a garage type space somewhere to work in, and go from there.

The way I see it is, it works for everybody. We save cars from the boneyards, and people here (and others who don't belong to this site) win because there's more parts available, and we'll keep them cheaper than whats on ebay now

E-mail me at RyanLivingston2003@yahoo.com or respond to this if you're interested.

Mods, I'm sorry if this isn't allowed. I know you're not supposed to advertise on the site, but I'm not advertising (yet)

Thanks,
Ryan

Already doing that.......

....on a smaller scale. Testing the waters so to speak, because eventually I am going to get laid off from Bath Iron Works. Hasn't happened yet, but every few weeks they hit another 20-30 people.

I have been doing that for 3rd gen parts. 280Z, RX-7, Landrover and any other specialty vehicle. It helps to know where to buy and what is being bought and collected.

I think that is awesome. Maybe it doesn't have to be solely about thirdgens. Any sweet classic muscle parts could be collected and salvaged, like old Novas, Chevelles, Chargers, etc. That would be a nice side hobby for a mechanic. I live in Augusta, but probably wouldn't be much of a help in this department. I do support what you are doing though, I think it is a great idea.
