Just over a year ago I took advantage of some Free stuff posted on this board. Well, I've been distracted by other priorities, home projects and helping my brother with a car build (both still ongoing). I know there were a few others interested at the time, so rather than sit on these I'd like to offer them up to someone who may be interested in doing something good with them. Rather than include pictures here I'm linking the original posting with pictures and details as nothing has really changed. All the parts and one of the chassis have been stored in my shed since I got them. The other sitting on a pallet off the ground.
These are located in Burlington CT. First to come pick them up is the winner.

My son is 16 and attends a public "nerd school" with some kind of race car, either gravity or electric I'm not 100% sure. I am in New Hampshire. If he asks the guy in that charge of the program I'd love to offer it to them. I'd definitely like to be a part of that program and free parts may be my ticket in

In reply to Justjim75 :
Let me know. That sounds like it could be a cool way for this to go.
I think the school should get first dibs, but if that falls through, please let me know and maybe we can work something out. Thanks!
I think the school has suspended the program due to covid. I'm super bummed

Justjim75, that is a bummer. Was worth a shot.
Flynlow, I guess your up. Still interestred?
I'm in CT and I'd love the wheels for my Europa, but I'd realistically never get around to rebuilding the FSAE cars. It's funny to see that engine again, I sold that to Woody for a case of beer a while back.
Let me know if you don't find any takers for the package and are willing to separate stuff out.

I would like it all to go at once but yes, if it doesn't I'll let you know.

Hey! Sorry for the delay, work has been killing me this week. I am still interested, but my trip to northern NJ that I was going to subvert for dragging these home got canceled. If someone else wants to claim them, feel free to bump me. If/when my trip gets re-scheduled, I will send you an email and see if we can figure something out.

If you were in the midwest, I'd be harassing you. But too much of a trip for me right now and others are interested.
So just tag me on the build thread when it appears :)

Still available for the taking.
What are the overall dimensions of the tube frames? Wondering if they would fit into my basement...
I am in eastern CT and I do have access to a utility trailer that'd work for pickup. Might take a couple trips to get everything, though.
I have Friday off, plus the weekend of course...

Thanks for taking the time to measure, unfortunately I think I've only got a 36" doorway ... I'll check this evening.
Edit: Confirmed - these won't fit through my basement door. Sadly without a place to work on them I'm afraid I'd just end up storing them outside for a year, only to pass them on again

I get it. Thank you for confirming.
To all other, these are still available!
