Spiders in the web of Katrina

I have two spiders that were flooded (fresh water) as a result of the hurricane. I do not really want to give up on them... but I have to do something.

All fluids were drained immediately and replaced with fresh. They are not running but I haven't spent time on them recently.

The 1991 has a new ECU and almost fires up... going to re-check all connections and clean.

The 1976 would be a great track car... interior is bad. SPICA needs work... or convert to Webbers?

I am brainstorming ideas:

1. I would love to start a squadra corse with someone or a group of ALFISTI to get one of them up and track ready.

2. Sell them as is. VALUE? Any ideas?

3. Part them out

4. Trade for something?

Any suggestions/ offers would be appreciated. It's like losing a family member... you just can't go out and get another... they all have their own personality.

See pics. Ciao!

Have you had the engines running after renewing the oils? If not, you probably have to dismantel all mecanicals to check for rust.
Likewise the bodies, you probably need to sprayed wax or some other rustprevention incl. all closed up places.

Having major pic uploading problems... the box just gets stuck at "uploading"?

That's because your pictures are too big... (The resolution required to post on this BB, and anywhere on the web, is just way smaller than what is needed for a 4"x6" photo print.) Resize them to a width of 600 pixels, and let the height take care of itself, and the upload them. Note that the size limits are posted in the upload box.

Best regards,
