Exclamation HELP: Open call for pieces of original Pineapple Racing Website!!!

I have spoken with Rob and I am attempting to rebuild the Pineapple Racing E-Commerce site.

I own an IT consulting firm and and have built datacenters for the like of Hewlett Packard and others, and now I am focusing on bringing the PR website back up ASAP.

There is a problem though, without going into the reasons why, I have no access to IMAGES from the original site.

I am adept in PhotoShop and Imageready.
I could (and will) re-design all logos and images that I need, however if ANYONE has images from the site of ANY kind (aside from buttons and arrows etc...) i would be VERY grateful to get them.

Please attach any and ALL content to THIS POST in a reply, so that ALL that read it can see what has been contributed and not duplicate submissions.

Your assistance will be greatly appriciated by Rob, myself, and all of us that want PR back online.

I have access to those images.

those are not all of them, but there are a few.
I have them downloaded and the WAYBACK MACHINE site has provided them.

I wrote this message after going there and downloading all of that content.

But note that the site was COMPLETELY redesigned into a full e-commerce site later on, those -NEW- pix i dont have.

Talking PR is BACK ONLINE!!!!

I have successfully found nearly ALL of the data for the website and have re-initialized the e-commerce application with success.

the customer database is now back online and all order statuses that i could find in the pipline on the site are still there.

PLEASE email Rob with any problems and I will jump on them ASAP!

Now...

There are still errors on the pages, but ONLY in the form of missing images here and there.

SO....

PineappleRacing is back online and ready to take your orders!

The line forms behind ME!

Well, its mostly the fact that the data was available in complete pieces, and that I have done this sort of thing many times before.

I was able to get the HTML files first, then the database was found to be intact. So, those two facts combined were the main reasons for the speed.

Rob and I had discussed a complete rebuild and re-hosting.
Turns not out all that rebuilding was required.

-WHEW!-

So I missed something... WTF happened to the site in the first place? Did someone kill it or did a hardware failure kill it?

I was able to go to the webarchive and find many things.
However until I contacted someone at archive.org, i was unable to get to the cache of the newer version of the site.

Apparently, when the domain hosting moved to the new IP and server, the archive did something wierd with it and made the data i cached invisible to a regular search.

They apparently have this issue when the domain moves for some reason.

I got it after we "fixe" it and then I used a HTTP crawler to grab every resource from the cache.

I will discuss what future plans Rob has for the website shortly after he ges up to speed on the massive e-commerce application that he now has to deal with.

I look forward to working with Rob on the site.

(Back when it was up for sale, I really wanted to buy RX7CLUB.COM, but knew I couldn't afford it.)
