Thumbs up BARN FIND!!!!!!!

So, my neighbor comes by the shop and says he has some old Porsche stuff behind his house, and thinks maybe I'd be interested in it. Tells me to take whatever I want. Look what I found back there.... All carbon fiber from a GT1!

I'm not sure, I haven't talked to him since he told me to come get the stuff. there was also a 993 convertible tub with the front clip cut off, with all the suspension components in tact.

I cannot believe that ! I saw that car race at the FIA-GT Oktoberfest at Sebring in 1997. I have a photo of a sister ROHR car that I gave to my mechanic to frame (McNish signed the photo)..... man I'd kill for that sort of memorbilia ! Great find !
