wanted old deceased kite(s)

I was going to post this in the classified section, but the database is down.

Basically, I'm looking for raw materials.
I am finally going to take the plunge and build my first sle kite.
What I'm looking for is a big c-kite that still has the leading edge fabric (and struts) in good shape.
I'll also need a few strut bladders.
If anyone has any old gear that they'd like to donate (or sell for cheap) to this project, I'd appreciate it. I'm not looking to start a business, just doing this as a hobby. Those that donate will be encouraged to check out the kite after it's built.
Thanks,
Bric
p.s. this is what the prototype looks like in flight:

i don't have the materials you're looking for, but i'm curious why you're choosing to build your own kite? what's so great about the kite in the vid?

I've got a 2005 WW Rage2 12m with a blown LE+Bladder that I will never fix. Last time I looked it appeared fine but it's been out in a bag outside since last March. You're welcome to it.

14m
