WTB: 26" Air Fork ~100mm and 26" wheelset (disc)

Help me with a new project build.

Looking for a 100mm 26" Air Fork that might be in someone's stable - begging to be ridden. (you hear it cry in the garage every time you jump on the 29" or 27.5/650b - "Let me ride! Letttt MEEEE RIIIIDE!")

Want something quality, in good shape but affordable. 
I am building up a full suspension bike - Fuji Outlander 2.0 Pro.

Also need a set of 26" wheels as well.

Key facts: currently I am clydesdale class at #215. This will be more of a XC style bike . . . but slightly faster downhill.

Thanks for checking the garage and parts bin.

I have a Talas with 100-120-140mm travel that I need to sell. That said, I'm not sure how well it functions at the moment. I also have a set of Specialized/DTSwiss wheels that have been ridden hard for a long time and could use a rebuild.

I have been trying to decide weather to fix em up and sell them for more or just unload them dirt cheap and let someone else do the repairs.

Any thoughts?

P.S. The fork has a straight 1 1/8" steerer that is pretty long and the wheels are 9mm with 135mm rear spacing.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Here are more specifics.
Straight 1 1/8th. Head Tube Length = 140
9mm or 15mm front depends on the fork. Either works.

9mm on rear. 135mm rear spacing. (running a 2x10

I have a set of Specialized/DT Swiss wheels that were on my 2009 Enduro Expert.  Just sitting at the house doing nothing.  Make me a reasonable offer and they are yours to pick up.  One of them has a replaced spoke that doesn't match the color of the others.

Pretty sure the rear spacing is 135
Front is 15mm through axle (ran a Fox Talas 32 150)
