Hello Porsche fans. I have in my possession a 2000 Carrera 4. It appears to have been partially stripped (probably for track) but never got there. So I want to piece it back together for a summer daily driver. I am having problems locating certain parts and was hoping that someone out there can point me in the right direction. Here is a list of what I need (want):

4 inner fender splash guards (you know, for inside the wheel wells)

cigarette lighter

center console ashtray delete kit (i want the storage tray instead, silver or black)

rear folding seat back for back seat with all the hardware (black leather)

rear seat seatbelts (all hardware)

fuel door hinge

plastic covers that go over the seatbelts on the B pillar (both sides)

and finally, in the front trunk, the floor pan has circle cut outs that were taken out. I obviously want to plug those.

Now I need some advice on a couple of things:

rear hatch release: I currently have to open the hatch by pulling on a wire located behind the driver side rear wheel. Obvioulsy the cable snapped at some point. I don't know if that wire is some sort of emergency release. Does someone know if that is easy to fix on my own? I am somewhat handy with tools.

passenger exterior door handle: won't open door. window does come down an inch as it should. I can open it from the inside. Is this common? do I need a new handle or did something come loose?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

Regards,

Roch.

Try www.oklahomaforeign.com. They buy wrecked Porsches and part them out, so chances are they have what you need.

Roch:

Also try DCauto for used (and new) parts. Their website, "dcauto.com", is an excellent resource for locating part numbers and prices from their diagrams, etc...

The people there are very friendly and knowledgeable, but the parts don't arrive too quickly, so double check that with them before you place an order for a part you may need urgently.

Regards, Maurice.
